Something that Feels like Success
July 11, 2008
One thing that I have done right in my life is my domain.
I was together enough to register lyza.com in the mid-90s.
I was together enough to maintain some semblance of Web presence.
Google developed a strong relationship with my site.
Anyone in the world who needs me or wants to know about me can find me by just typing four letters.
My email address is extremely obvious. And short. My shortest email is x@xxxx.xxx
Yesterday I was also lucky enough to score lyza —at— pdx dot edu. PSU with its billions and billions of students has never seen another Lyza, I guess. It sure beats my last PSU email address (psu03146@odin.cc.pdx.edu). I got that one in 1994.
Update: This post makes me sound self-congratulatory. That wasn’t the tone I was going for. I meant more to express happiness. But I’m far, far too busy to re-write it.

I went the other way since “eikonoklastic” is pretty unique, and well iconoclastic. No one else had it, surprise! I must have been affected by carrying a 10 letter consonant laden Polish surname for a lifetime or something.
LOL, the wonderful thing about having the name Lyza, is you never have to add numbers in your urls or email addresses…LOL as you can see :)
