Domainer's Gazette-Home

just noticed a new logo SnapNames is showcasing over on the domainroundtable.com website..

…and rather than the “Secure Your Domain” trademark, they seem to now be using “Names Power Business”

odd though.. at this point in time, the logo’s not showing up on their live site yet..

maybe they’re gonna make an announcement at the conference..

dog days my friends..

to quote the AJC:

“So hot,” an ajc.com Venter wrote, “I saw two fire hydrants fightin’ over a dog.”

a local lunch hotspot, Souper Jenny, has the right idea. They close for the entire month of August - probably head to the NC mountains (which is where I need to be)

not sure if I’ve had a form of banner blindness here caused I missed it, but check out how Google Analytics draws the state of Michigan within the ‘Map Overlay’ section.. :

appears they’re tracking up to the Canadian border (including water) as the state boundary..odd

and they’ve also made Wisconsin pointed..

Wisconsin actually looks like Tintin’s haircut..

whether he’s guilty or not is up to the courts..

but here’s a pretty funny business (and domain name) that’s already popped up:

Driving up from Portland back to Seattle today, my small vacation about to end, a random thought crossed my mind..

I may be thinking waay too much into this, but

consider the typed character “.”

as domainers, we all know this character as “dot”, ie dot com

I find it interesting that the radio pronounces this character as “point”, as in 98 point 9 FM..

I wonder if there are any radio stations out there that pronounce their name as “98 dot 9 FM”, or any websites that promote themselves as “website point com”..probably not on the latter, as I’d take that to be websitepointcom.com..

very interesting how the word “dot” became so closely associated with the online world..

just an fyi to all.. posting may be a little light over the next few days.. I’m headed to Seattle & Portland, but should be back in a few days..
