So, I have this domain…
Recently I tried to use Facebook to re-connect with a few friends from Montana since the SamuraiBlog community site became defunct.
For fucks sake.
It’s like Larry the Cable guy designed an interface to an application that tries to encompass the lives of our Banana-Republic-shopping, Crocs-wearing public. Thanks, assholes, but I’ll use a real website. Even though it’s not the epic mess that MySpace ended up as once website-”personalization” became accessible to the yahoo-toolbar-sporting masses, people take their sites way too fucking seriously, investing countless hours doing absolutely nothing. And why does it take them countless hours? Tools. Well, we knew that, but the interface to Facebook is fucking insane. It takes an entire afternoon to set up a facebook account when it should take TEN MINUTES. How about something like 1) name and age 2) add friends. What the fuck!? How the fuck hard is that!
I digress. So I have this domain. SamuraiBlog.com. Been around since my freshman year of high school. Holy shit.
The SamuraiBlog.com community has long since evaporated into life, and Facebook.
The domain SamuraiBlog.com is not going anywhere (I have virtually unlimited SSH-encrypted bandwidth through Dreamhost). So any wireless I jump on in SF, I don’t have to worry about using passwords on websites and shit. The domain will just be used as my personal blog, portfolio and to link to SamuraiFilms (nothing new for a while, you just wait!).
