Ahhh, the saga of tetonpost. Just for the heck of it I recently looked back in time at my very first gmail email at tetonpost, in November of 2007. The signature link pointed to my current website at the time, tetonpost.com, which disappeared around 2008 due to a flaky relationship with a shady character named Harry.
Harry Hayes was a computer wheeler and dealer from Bellingham, WA whose claim to fame was taking over an up and coming Flash company from a bunch of naive geeks. I worked with him for a bit, saw his dungeon office and inhaled his cigarette smoke. He had a hosting service and provided me a free domain name for the new site I was starting after moving here to Teton Valley.
One day he dropped dead from a heart attack and I was never able to regain that domain, so when I saw the link in that first gmail, I clicked on it. Wow, it appeared it might be available again so I rushed to my web hosting site Bluehost, brought up the domain checker and there it was! They’ve got a sale going on so I reclaimed it once again for $7.99. I then whipped up some basic HTML5 and now it’s back: tetonpost.com.
