Stellar Path

This is Stellar Path.  Where did the name come from?

Well, when I first decided I wanted to buy my own domain name, back about nine years ago before it was very popular to do that, I was thinking about it from a marketing standpoint.  I wanted something that could have a cool logo.  My first thought was to use the name bluesaturn.net, and my logo would be a blue image of the planet Saturn.  However, when I got around to actually buying the domain name, bluesaturn.net was taken. (As were .com and .org, which I wouldn’t have really liked anyway, because for some weird reason, I have ALWAYS loved .net more than .com.  I’m a geeky computer geek.  What can I say?)

I started playing around with other names.  I thought about starpath.net, to go with the astronomy theme.  (I’m a huge astronomy nerd, too.  My dream is to someday get a BS in Physics and Astronomy.  But I digress…)  Starpath.net was also taken.  But I kept playing around with various names (at one point, I even thought about bluejupiter.net, but that just wasn’t as cool) and I finally came up with stellarpath.net.  I liked it, it seemed easy enough to spell, it would let me do ALL kinds of space-themed logos and backgrounds, and it just had a nice sound to my ear.  Best yet, when I checked, it was available!  So I promptly paid for it, and eventually, (over eight years later), it turned into the blog you have before you now.

About me in a nutshell – I’m 31 years old, obese, I work in education, and I am engaged to be married on October 8, 2010.  I’m sure that various wedding preparation bits will seep their way into the blog.  Stay tuned – I’ll post more about me here as it occurs to me.
