			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took me quite a while to decide what to call this new blog of mine.  I kind of felt like I was playing a game of &#8220;Blog Name Survivor.&#8221;  Here are some of the loosers, and why they were voted off the island:</p>
<p><strong>http://0.02dollars.com</strong> &#8211; This was suppose to be a reference to &#8220;my two cents&#8221; but it didn&#8217;t catch on with the people I asked about it.</p>
<p><strong>Frenzied Fruit</strong> &#8211; A few people thought it was catchy, but in the end it was better as a name for a smoothie than for a blog.</p>
<p><strong>Organic Words</strong> &#8211; This one didn&#8217;t catch on very well.</p>
<p><strong>Better if used by</strong> &#8211; There were too many other variations of this phrase: best if used by, better when used by&#8230; I felt that this name would be better if used by someone else.  It also just didn&#8217;t look very good typographically.</p>
<p><strong>Ladder of Jacob</strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t even own a ladder, why would I name my blog after one?  In the end, it just didn&#8217;t feel like something I wanted to name my blog.</p>
<p><strong>Solar Blueberry</strong> &#8211; I loved this name, but it didn&#8217;t stick with other people.</p>
<p><strong>Questions are Welcome</strong> &#8211; Too long!</p>
<p><strong>Feet ahead of me</strong> &#8211; This one escaped from me.</p>
<p><strong>Black Hole Escape</strong> &#8211; I really liked this one, but it escaped from the island before it could win.  I personally didn&#8217;t like the two <em>e</em> characters in a row.  I also think it was too nerdy for a lot of people.</p>
<p><strong>Smashed Sunshine</strong> &#8211; It sounded too morbid, drug related, or otherwise kind of weird to be used.  Although it was a cool name, it didn&#8217;t have any special significance to me.</p>
<p><strong>See Reverse Side</strong> &#8211; This would have been good for a political blog, but it didn&#8217;t have enough jazz to win.</p>
<p><strong>Green Paper Pad</strong> &#8211; I really liked the reference to a green pad of engineering paper, but in the end, it sounded too environmental.</p>
<p>Most of these names are avaailable as a .COM domain name.  If you want to use one of these names for your own blog name or website name, feel free.  I would appreciate a note so I can feel good about being inspirational.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I went looking for domain names today, and I found a couple interesting ones.  They are available, unless of course the person who read this five minutes ago registered it:

I think the .at domains are going for about $50, while the .be domains are just $18.  If you want a .us.com domain (not [...]

<p>I think the .at domains are going for about $50, while the .be domains are just $18.  If you want a .us.com domain (not like anyone is going to remember it) you can dish $150 out to Network Solutions.</p>
