Some domain names require explanation. This one does not. Two common words, joined without a hyphen, describing exactly what the site would be: a place where media gets discussed. A reader who sees it in a search result, an email signature, or a conference badge understands the proposition before clicking anything. That immediacy is the whole value of a keyword pair like … [Read more...] about MediaForum.net Is for Sale: A Two-Word Name for Media Debate, Industry Coverage, and Press Community

A renewal notice came through for Montmorency.org this week. I kept it, which is worth explaining, because the reasoning applies to a lot of the portfolio and it runs against the instinct most people have when they're deciding what to hold. The short version is that Montmorency is a thing, not a description of a thing. That distinction is doing more work in domain values now … [Read more...] about Why I Renewed Montmorency.org

Two chokepoints the world can't stop watching. Both names are available, individually or as a pair. Hormuz.net Roughly a fifth of global oil moves through a passage about twenty miles wide at its narrowest. Every tanker insurer, every energy trading desk, every defense analyst covering the Gulf has an opinion on it, and most of them have had that opinion for decades.

This one is more useful than that, because the interesting part isn't the seven names on the invoice — it's the six that were on the list a week ago and aren't on it now. The batch came to $85.33.

For the first time in the history of the public internet, machines generate more traffic to websites than people do. New data from Cloudflare puts automated requests at 57.5% of all web activity, against 42.5% from human visitors — a crossover that Cloudflare's own CEO had predicted wouldn't happen until 2027. The shift is being driven by agentic AI: software that … [Read more...] about Cloudflare Data Shows Human Traffic Falling Up to 40% as AI Bots Take Over the Web

A rare pairing of two of the most valuable words in the tech-naming lexicon — "Moonshot" and "Computing" — combined into a single, clean, exact-match .com. Why it commands attention Built-in ambition. "Moonshot" is the language ambitious ventures already use to describe themselves — audacious bets, breakthrough R&D, 10x thinking. The word carries … [Read more...] about MoonshotComputing.com

Ten rounds in. The pile still hasn't organized itself, and by now that feels less like a failure than a format. Strays together, no thesis, one more time. Markets open on the plumbing.
