Why does this site exist?
 | Short answer: I needed a break - if only for a moment - from
what had been a hectic few months in my business, and registering a domain
name is cheap. |
| Long answer: I've become interested in
NASCAR Winston Cup®
racing over the past couple of years. Visiting
Jayski's Winston Cup Silly
Season Site has become an almost daily ritual to get the latest links to
racing-related news and information. The morning of August 13, 2002, Jayski
had a link to
SportingNews.com's "Riding
with Junior" page, a weekly recap of comments made over the radio by
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who
drives the number 8
Budweiser-sponsored
Chevrolet
Monte
Carlo, including the following (as quoted on the page at the time):
Tony Eury Jr.: "Where y'at?"
Dale Jr.: "Who knows?! I broke at Turn 1 so now I am at ... who knows
what turn? (pause) I'm at
www.who-the-hell-knows.com."

| I was curious to see who had registered that domain name, and would
receive an inadvertent influx of other curious people. Surprisingly, it wasn't
registered, so I decided to grab it for a year, along with the variation
www.whothehellknows.com, so that
people would have a place to "land" on the 'net. [WARNING: the next
sentence contains techno-babble] It took only a few more
minutes to configure a hosting slot on one of my servers, enter DNS
information, and use a template in Microsoft FrontPage to build this simple
site. (When you're
partially a "tech geek" living near rural No-Where, USA, this could actually
pass for entertainment.) |
| So, after 15 or 20 minutes of "work," here you are, and here the site is.
It's not quite the end of the internet, but
close. |
| What you see here is not necessarily a Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fan site,
though his name is mentioned prominently in several location. Dale Jr. is one
of a number of drivers I pay attention to for 36 Sunday afternoons of the
year. Nor is it strictly a general racing fan site. This is, or will be, a
mixture of material that covers racing and other topics of interest to me. |
What are you going to do with it?
| "Who the hell knows?" Most likely, however, little more than what you see
here. |
Are you going to try to sell it?
| Doubtful, nor do I think anyone would want to buy it. This is just a fun
diversion for the moment. |
How can you be contacted?
| I can't imagine why you'd want to, but if you know the in's-and-out's of
domain registration, you already have access to full contact information. For
those who don't know the process, use this e-mail address:
cms@whothehellknows.com
|
| Surprising as it is to me, there has been a little e-mail. A sample can be
found in the Mail Bag. |
