home > grasshopper explained

I bought the grasshopperdesign.com domain around 1996 or 1997. The original idea was to start a little web consulting firm with some friends from college. We did one or two sites before our paths went in divergent directions and we lost interest.

I kept the domain because I like the name and didn't want to be bothered with figuring out a new domain name, changing email, etc.

I eventually set up a sole proprietorship business called Grasshopper Consulting in 1999 and did freelance web design and tech writing work under that name. I set up a "business" site for the freelance work, but it never generated any business leads.

Finally, I decided to put the domain to better use and made grasshopperdesign.com the portal to my resume and professional portfolio.
