Get ready for .xxx , .mac , .pepsi , .اسپم , .Определение , and .マンガ domain names

The Internet is about to become much more interesting.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has just approved unlimited new top level domain names, and not just in Roman characters, starting in 2009.

.atheist anyone? How about .pagan?

I can also see someone grabbing .robert .john .susan .starwars

I also want .can to be grabbed by the same administrators as .ca, so we can finally work our way out of the Canada-California Confusion.

...pronounced dot-stron-jay.

BTW, have been mostly without Internet access (not for want of trying) until noontime PDT - in Seattle til Monday, but might not be able to sidetrip to Bellingham at this point :( :(

That's really ok, Phredd. I say the same to you as I said to Tom Laugh when he visited Seattle: I'm glad to have a visit, but I'm broke and without a vehicle, and Bellingham's a little out of the way.

You'll be back. Have fun at Pride!

We are having a time - and I feel that there will NEED to be other Northwestern forays (some neighbors of mine who have property in Colorado came out here last year, and now refer to Wash. state as "Fuck Colorado")
