About the Name:
Virbel Vind comes from the German word "Wirbelwind" meaning
'hurricane'.
The idea was slightly inspired by the not so pleasent
events of 2005, ie hurricane Katrina, but also because I've been
known as a hurricane even before 2005.
Hell, even my hair makes people
think hurricane.
As for why VirbelVind
instead of WirbelWind? If any normal English speaker read "Wirbelwind"
they would, more likely than not, say it wrong.
Thus, to make it
easier, the name is written with a V instead of a W
... That and I
highly doubt Wirbelwind.com / de would still be free.
About the Layout
First things first, I did not draw
the picture in the layout.
The picture in the layout is of me somewhere in Brandenburg or
so reading a book. I took the picture and traced over
it and put a little colour under the lines and then played around
with
opacity.
So, again, I did not draw it.
The text that I used was out of the book I was reading ( "Veni,
vidi, vici - Caesar und die Kunst der Selbstdarstellung" by
Wolfgang Will) and is a quote of Sallust in "De coniuratione
Catilinae" about Caesar and Cato.
You can
find it in the original Latin with English translations here(53-54)
And, as for the colour, I just happen to love green.
