I have too many domains — about 30 or so. It’s an addiction. I’m trying to pare down some so today I’m giving away listmaker.org

It’s a great domain, I think, and at one time I had plans for it.

Build your web app there, house your blog, etc.

Just leave me a comment here over the next few days about how you might like to use it — if you’re the only one it’s yours (by the way - it expires in two days - but I will register it for you for another year at gandi.net, and then transfer it to your account). If there are a couple of interested people, I’ll pick the one I like best. If you have no technical skills — I’ll even host it for you at dreamhost for a year (with wordpress?) to get you started.

Now, who wants it?

David pointed out to me that on Amazon, Couch has under ‘Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought’ only a single item: the Omron HJ-112 pedometer.

A few weeks ago there were a number of books in the slipstream genre here instead, presumably because their algorithms looked up other books by my publisher and fitted Couch into this genre. Now enough people have bought Couch that they’re able to do some direct correlating.

What does it say? It says that the people at Walker Tracker are completely awesome. Thank you so much.

But I love how it looks, too. It’s as if people were buying the book and a pedometer simultaneously in order to set out upon the quest in the book for themselves. I would know it true were it accompanied by a few other tell-tale items. Say, a mustache trimmer, wire cutters, some RAM and a Spanish phrase book.

I would love to find other items on Amazon that tell a sort of story - items bought together to perform a single esoteric task. Certainly there’s some mystery that could be gleaned.

I have an old domain, datablob.com, that I’d like to find a home for.

For a long time Data Blob was The Nonsense Exchange - the world’s largest database of nonsense in the universe. You can quote me on that.

The internet archive says I had datablob as an active site between March of 2001 -> July of 2007

You can see what the site looked like sometime in 2006 . You could deposit your own nonsense here, and you could even send nonsense on to your local politician.

Datablob: The nonsense exchange

I think having a giant reservoir of nonsense is vitally important. The world financial system might just collapse without one!

If you want this domain for something cool (ie: art project, no ads & no commerce) - please contact me and describe your purpose.

If you would like to purchase this domain, let me know your price.

I’m at ben at ideacog dot net.
