why 33ad?
33ad actually comes from a year. Thirty Three AD. The common belief is that Christ was 33 years old when he was crucified, and since we count years from his (aproximated) birth, then 33AD would have been the year of his crucifiction and resurrection. Sooo, that's where 33ad.org comes from.The interesting thing is that some scholars think that the monk that did the whole counting on the year thing was actually about 3 years off. So, that would mean the death of Christ would have been about AD 30 instead. Funny how things work out sometimes, isn't it? ;) But, here's a link that gives some really interesting arguments for why 33 CE seems the right year. So, either way you believe, you at least now know why the domain is called 33ad.org, right?
about the domain and server
33ad.org is a loose conglomeration of websites run by a group of friends. It provides email addresses to the guys and their spouses, but also serves as a central place to put up information for the mass public and for sharing certain projects that they're working on.If you have any questions, contact Jeremy as he kind of heads up the goop and keeps the server running. (jeremy at@at 33ad.org)
If you'd like more information about maybe hosting or email accounts, he's the guy to contact.
I would add mention of the other guys involved in 33ad.org here if they would make pages about them, but, since they haven't...
