    Default Why "Dolphinstreet"?

    Where does the name come from, Robert?

    The name comes from one of my favourite jazz songs - "On Green Dolphin Street". The whole title was too long, so I put together the last two words and made it my domain name! I think it's short and catchy. It's insanely difficult to find a short and useful domain name that people can easily remember.

    Don't be fooled by the obvious!

    The name really originates from an old legend of how Robert came from Sweden to Canada. Thousands of dolphins tighly swam together forming a road (or street as his website would indicate) for Robert to run across the ocean to Canada.

    Then again you could believe the actual creator of the site, but that'd be crazy!

    Ok, Myles, you got me. But you should know it was a very long run.

    From the rumors I hear, not only was it a long run but also it was a very cold run indeed. Thus the beginnings of a marathon runner. Robert hasn’t stopped running since.

    It seems then that it is mispelled; it should read:

    or rather
