What does Nanyate mean?

Nanyate, pronounced as “Nan-Yah-Tey” is Kansai-ben (a Japanese dialect) to express surprise, akin to the English “WTH?!”. The phrase was popularized with the anime Yakitate!! Japan where a comical off-beat Kansai character, Kawachi Kyousuke uses it to express awe and outrage at others’ creativity. I have nothing in common with the name, but somehow it just stuck.

What is Nanyate’s Purpose?

Well, originally it was meant to be a personal blog where I bare my emotions, my life, my opinions for the world to see. But over time, nanyate?! has transformed into a blog on technology, web design, social psychology, social media and the occassional anime series.

Domain Registered at 1and1

Nanyate?! was originally registered at StartLogic, but I became so impressed with 1and1’s domain control panel that I decided to transfer and renew it at 1and1. And so far, I’m loving it.
