Do Not Adjust Your Monitor!
‘The Middle Of Yesterday’ is no more, I’m now blogging under a new domain name; ‘www.jamesdclarke.com’. I’ve decided to switch my blog over to a new domain name - my own name!
I’ve done this for a couple of reasons, firstly because it’s becoming harder and harder to get your hands on good dot com domain name, and secondly in an attempt to build my online profile/brand - something that is becoming more and more important these days (or so I am told), especially when using the internet to make a living as I do. There’s a lot of James Clarkes with an ‘E’ out there - so I decided the time was right to bag my name whilst I still could.
Hopefully my Mom will be pleased about the ‘D’ for Douglas as I was rather ashamed of my middle name as a kid. I remember vividly the only time I got a proper slap around the face from her - I was 10 or 11 years old and we were in the car on the way home from my birthday party at McDonald’s (I was too young to know any better then), my two best mates were in the car and grilling me about my middle name. I was tight lipped, however my Mother (ever the protagonist) told them both, to which I quickly yelled “you bitch!” and SLAP, there it was!
So, I apologise for calling you a bitch Mom, but you shouldn’t have wound me up. I hope you like my new domain name!

Great idea James, especially as you’ve worked without an online ‘tag’ for so many years - everyone who knows you online (from your bands’ forums etc) knows you as James Clarke, so it makes a lot of sense to blog under your own name!
I think about collating all my online stuff under my own name every so often so that it’s all collated together (though can’t change my last.fm account name - bugger), so it’s interesting to see you’ve done it!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
huzzah for james d clarke!
