This was the original site design for Jalpuna.com

It was my first attempt at designing a layout for a blog, and I still kind of dig it - so it lives on here.

What can I say? I'm a design-geek.

What The Heck Is...

...JALPUNA?

I'd love to have some fascinating explanation regarding the origin of "Jalpuna." I wish I could say that it's a form of enlightenment I learned in Xi'an, China, or that it is some sort of path towards achieving inner peace I gained while hitch hiking my way across the heart of South America... but the closest I ever came to spiritual enlightenment in Bolivia was the time I shared fig neutons with the locals while hitching my way through the Andes in the back of a dilapidated freight truck. It's a "had to be there" type moment I suppose.

"Jalpuna" is, however, nothing more than my old phone number, spelled out.

I've always been easily amused, and I'll be the first to admit that my humor leans towards the quirky - but hey - I make no apologies for being a complete dork from time to time. As a dear friend once said, you need to embrace your inner dork.

The way I see it, I'll either amuse you or I'll amuse myself. Either way, I win.

One of the many things that amuses me is getting a new phone number. I always request a number with no 1's or 0's in hope that it'll spell out something funny. This was even more effective before the days of ten-digit-dialing.

I've had a few great numbers over the years... In college, my phone number spelled "Glouper," and recently, I had a number that spelled "Jalpuna." Neither of these are words of course - as if that matters.

But what IF Jalpuna were a word... what would it mean? The possibilities are endless.

Why Jalpuna dot com, you ask?

A: It's a 7 letter dot com... much easier to remember than heresadumbasswebsitebyaguynamedrob dot com

B: I think it's funny...
