    Aha, figures. Would have been surprised if it had been the other way around, he doesn't seem to have any ideas that are his own. Then again, I guess that's the hypothesis of somethingrather - there are no new ideas.

        Honestly, anything is better than a dead Godaddy domain. I have a few dead domains that I basically registered during a drunken binge; http://widgetsex.com/ http://widgetsex.com/ is a good example, the dog you'll see is my friend's and his name is widget; if you let it refresh long enough, you should see an easter egg. If you want real content, I'd probably just put up some links to information about Anathem, the clock, and the Long Now foundation, with maybe a contact form that accepts suggestions that are better than mine :P
