Description
About tranquileye
Online in one form or another since 1994, tranquileye is the personal Web of John Harris Stevenson, a researcher, tech strategist, and community broadcaster. As with many personal sites, tranquileye tries to do too much: professional self-promotion, academic resource, and various sorts of experimentation. The traquileye blog has been broadcasting on and off since 1999, inspired in large part by Heather Anne Halpert's now defunct lemonyellow.com. As has its author, the Web site has sometimes faced problems of identity and purpose.

Why tranquileye?
I've had a Web site forever, but not a domain name forever. In fact, I stuck with my site at The WELL way past the point of reason. And I wasn't too surprised when I went to register a domain of my own that stevenson.com and johnstevenson.net were taken. Unlike such "A-list" digerati as Powazek and Zeldman, I have a vanilla last name, and there are a ton of John Stevensons in the world. And johnstevenson.org didn't seem worth taking, since there was only one of me, and not an org.
