my.IS (formerly IS300.NET) Turns Ten

Filed under: Ramblings — tony @ 3:08 pm

Back in 1999, I started a website that became an all-consuming project, IS300.NET (changed to my.IS in 2005).  It became the largest online community for the Lexus IS sport sedan. Sure, it’s just one car from one brand, but 70,000 members and over 4 million forum posts tells you that the Lexus IS isn’t just any car. In 2007, I sold the site and turned to photography fulltime, but I’m still very proud of what was created out of nothing. My friend Joaquin (the only writer I know that uses more parenthesis than myself) has posted a nice retrospective on the site for this ten year anniversary, please check it out here.

    LOL x 20 at the parentheses comment. It’s funny that, just today, I was becoming a bit self-conscious about that writing tendency of mine, but it fits my fact, trivia and aside-filled, stream-of-consciousness style of writing to a tee.

    Yes, yes it does (which is exactly why I’m partial to it myself).

    What a cool thing! Crazy that this whole blog/forum thing has been around long enough for 10-year anniversaries to be possible.
