It's probably a cliche that is used too often, but this site really did have humble beginnings. I wanted teach myself HTML and this gave me the outlet. Back in 1999, the site was called The Deafening Silence. I was a disc jockey at a local radio station and my morning show was called The Deafening Silence. I played pretty much anything from New Age to Industrial and wanted to use the site as a resource for my listeners. However, I was also a geek who loved all things technological. As time went on, I realised that having a dual focus meant that I didn't do either of them well. So the geek in me won out and The Deafening Silence became a technology news site.

As I was getting ready to move to my current host in the Spring of 2000, I was trying to think up a new name for the site. Since I had already registered www.d-silence.com, I really didn't want to change to a new URL...then Fate intervened. Bill from G256.com posted a link to one of my articles, but got the site name wrong. He called it Digital Silence, and well, the rest is history. The name fit the site perfectly.
