“Enter Name Here?” Is that a joke? Yes, I suppose it is, but before we get to that I’ll talk about us first.
My name is Eric Russell, and this site is here to talk about life, our family, our work, and whatever else comes to mind. Updates tend to be sparse, but we’re working on that. Or at least we’re going to try and work on that.
Origin story for “Enter Name Here” : It all started from an MMO from the early days of MMOs called “Asheron’s Call 2.” During character creation, you designed your avatar, chose a class, and gave yourself a name. In the box for the name it said “Enter Name Here,” and I clicked “Okay.” I guess I was the first to do so, because it worked, and so here we are. I’ve continued to use that name or a variation of it if I wasn’t fast enough in every platform or system since. It is often taken as a joke or placeholder text, so I’m always asked what my email address or domain is, and I always tell them they have it right, and they always assume I’m messing with them. In a way I guess I am, but it’s meant to be fun, and I hope you all will take it that way.
