arwen.org (aka, the domain that points here, as well as my email address domain name) will be 11 years old on next Wednesday.
My domain is a month older than Dolly the Cloned Sheep’s offspring. The #1 grossing movie the year my domain came out was Saving Private Ryan. Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best picture. Clinton was still in office. My sister hadn’t been born yet, Malia Obama was born the same year.
If my domain were a person, it would be in grade 5. It would be walking, talking, having opinions, and learning basic algebra. Knowing what sorts of things I’ve done with it over the years, it would probably be in the slow class.
Happy birthday, arwen.org, old girl. I still like you, and I’m not dropping you any time soon.
