I think this January 3, 2003 entry was my first Blog post using Dave Winer's Radio UserLand software. I've long since moved on to Blogger, but it's still a little sad to see Radio UserLand go away. It seems like I'm having more and more of these senior moments lately when something memorable rides off into the sunset.

Network Solutions is having a sale on URL's. Mine (http://www.douglasross.com) doesn't do anything at the moment (I'm saving it for a rainy day) but it was coming up on ten years and I needed to renew it to protect my name. So I decided to take them up on their pay-in-advance 20 year package sale for $279.00 or $13.95 per year (about half of the regular annual fee...probably not that good a deal in hindsight.) But the kicker was, after I hit the pay button it dawned on me that I'll be over 83 years old when this thing expires. How creepy is that? If I make it I'll take it as a good sign and re-up for another 20 years. And by then maybe I'll have done something with it.
