It’s Silent White’s birthday! I rarely mention my sites’ birthdays because… after making so many, I just lose track of when I started each one. Liza wrote about her site’s birthday earlier this month, which reminded me that this blog also started in February – Feb. 18 2008 to be exact. This means, it’s now 5 years old. I decided to do the same thing as Liza and list out a few facts about this blog :)
1. Though this blog started in Feb. 2008, this domain was actually bought in Nov. 2003, making it over 9 years old. It started as an art domain with a gallery of my works and a sketch blog before I changed it over to what you see now.
2. The name Silent White comes from a Japanese song with the same name: Silent White by move. It’s the only site I have that’s named after a song.
While I’m at it, here’s how I named my other domains.
- Shattered-Wings was from my fascination with wings and flight. A lot of my sites back then were named in similar ways: Fake Wings, Broken Wings, Fly High, etc.
- Hachi-Roku translates to eight-six in Japanese. It’s a nickname for the AE86, which is the car that the main character in Initial D drives.
- Twilight-Realm is from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which has a twilight realm in the game.
