Domain Name
The name of this domain, "unfaithful mirror", originated in a lyric from a favourite song of mine, Massive Attack's "Teardrop". The lyric reads as "most faithful mirror", but that got me to thinking over the concept of a mirror's being able to be faithful or otherwise, and after a fair bit of thought, I came up with the domain name as it now is. I took a look at it and decided it looked better with a hyphen inserted to separate the words, and I've always liked .net best as a registration suffix (my first and only previous domain was sweetaurora.net). Simple as that, really. :) I registered unfaithful-mirror.net on July 19th, 2004, and have owned and run it ever since.
