Domain Name Trading

Trading for fun, not profit

Domain names are cheap. So cheap that squatters will put together any words that make sense (or don’t) and sit on the dot-com.

Creative people are getting the picture. Many people I know have started buying fun domain names without any specific intentions, just to reserve the name in case a project comes up that needs it.

So I propose a domain trading website where people can post their “haves”. If you see something you like, propose a trade. Tell the current owner about the project you have in mind. Offer up some domains of your own, or recognition on the website-to-be. To protect the spirit of the site, monetary transactions are banned.

Paradoxically, I need to find someone with the perfect domain to bake this.

Layers

Visited Newbury St galleries with AB today. My favorite work was Philippe Bertho.

It reminds me of SNES/Genesis-generation video games. Depth is shown by parallel projection flat planes and drop shadows. Falling infinitely. Even the gold rings look like Sonic coins.

This one has a nice fold.

The portrait the girl is painting is twice as ridiculous as the situation that she and her model are in.
