This is the launch of Config.8! I have been meaning to create something like this for quite some time now while I am "learning by doing" my real site's construction. The purpose of this blog is to document and share information about my involvement and experiences with cars and driving, specifically to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution aka Evo, and serve as a resource of information pertaining to cars and driving in general.The name Config.8 (configure-eight/"configurate") represents the combination of the idea of configurating the vehicle and my life according to my needs and vision, and 8 represents the generation of Evolution that I own, the VIII. Although the Evolution IX has since been released, the VIII is significant as it is the first generation of Evolution available to the American market. "Configure8" would have been better, but some clever person with good taste in domain names and nomenclature already took that one.Abbreviating it to "Config." was inspired by the fact that PCs use Config files. I honestly don't know anything about them, how they work or what they are for, but I have seen them so I figure that it may work to use "Config". I use a Mac at home and a PC at work, and unlike my fascination with cars for their own sake, I am really only interested in computers as far as the design, creative multimedia, and communication capabilities they afford me. Beyond that, I am not inherently interested in computers themselves and how they work. I bet that will make Mac-hating pro-PC people snicker because it fits a cliche of a Mac user. That's ok. Just remember that I use a PC too, so anything you want to stereotype about me also applies to your platform!My online identity is Hokiruu (google that and see what you get) because my real name is Uuri Koh. It's a royal PITA of a name to have because the average American has a hard time pronouncing, trying to listen to, or even acknowledging the existence and validity of forgeign languages or the majority of names that don't come from the Bible. Mostly the spelling is a hassle ("two U's, in a ROW, really?" Thanks alot mom...), but I am also constantly correcting (or giving up on correcting people) on the pronounciation (Ooh-ree is correct, like "Ooh really?"), people assuming I said Yuri, Ernie, Orlee, Rico (Uuri+Koh phonetically="Rico" to some) etc. Then there's the whole origin sharade "Is that Israeli? Russian?" "No, It's Korean." "Korean, really? You don't look Korean." "I'm half Korean." "What's the other half then?" "German." "East or West German and North or South Korean?" "Um..." "Well that's an ODD mix!" "Uh, thanks... I guess..." If they only knew what I was actually thinking right then...The word Uuri ("Ooh-dhee") in Korean means "us, ours, together." You know, the whole unity and everybody's friend thing. Koh or Ko is a common Korean and Chinese name. In traditional mythology the Ko people emergrd from the rocks. I guess this could be why I have such an appreciation for rocks, boulders, and mountains.Well that's enough of the boring introduction BS. If you actually read all this you must really be bored and/or know me personally already, or are fascinated for some other strange reason I cannot possibly fathom. I promise from here on out this blog will be... whatever it is.
