Why That Strange Domain Name?

Why that name? Good question. I wish I knew.

But seriously, there are several reasons:

  1. Since I carve stone, the idea of a domain name involving rocks seemed appropriate. Something humorous seemed even better.
  2. It has a nice, lilting quality that leads people to remember it. They may not be able to type it, but at least they'll remember it.
  3. I like it.
  4. Actually, the phrase appears in Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Near the beginning of chapter 12, a news reader says: "and we'll be saying a big hello to all intelligent life forms everywhere ... and to everyone else out there, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys." The fact that I latched onto an obscure -- and essentially irrelevant -- quote from that particular book may tell you more about my personal outlook on life than you really need to know. I miss Douglas Adams.
