One of the publication's proudest moments was owning 2600.mil for a few precious hours. :) I wanted to addition of .ego or .nom instead of .name. It’s a three-character TLD thing. :)

Yuck. But I thought that .name filled a hole that was missing from the current .com .net .org .edu .mil .gov choices. None of those really conveys that it is a personal website.

Aahhh, that’s interesting — I’d wondered which Jaquiths those were.

What about the .name TLD?

I think my answer was "maybe." I'm sure my thought was "um... no." I've toured the plant, and it's not the type of place I'd like to work, even in a managerial role. What about the .name TLD? I just picked up mark.jaquith.name The .name TLD is special... so just because I have mark.jaquith.name, it doesn't mean that waldo.jaquith.name is taken. I also like the vibe given off by a f_name.l_name.something domain.

That damned Jaquith Industries (a nasty business, if OSHA's violations log is an indicator) keeps beating me out. Eventually, I'll set up jaquith.org as a gateway to various Jaquiths, thus keeping us all happy. Right now, I'm in the process of moving from waldo.net to waldo.jaquith.org -- there's something more legitimate, open, and organic about the latter, I think.
