The timing of this is interesting to me. I was having a conversation with a friend who isn't a geek at all who mentioned that he met the most geeky person he'd ever come across. Someone so geeky they had a domain name which was just a black box. I'd never heard of unicode URLs before, but quickly realised what he was on about. I raced home to find out if ♥.com was taken. I 1st tried checking it by just typing alt+3 .com in chrome's address bar, only to find out that you can't. Chrome just won't accept it. So I tried in IE and noticed that while it "resolved" out to xn--g6h.com but there was no site. Excellent I thought and quickly tried to register it only to find that I'd been beaten by about 9 years. As I checked for other available single unicode domains I found that most of them had been snapped up around 2003. i♥you.com is for sale. No real point to this story except that I was once again reminded that as geeky and "internet hip" as I like to think I am, I find I'm continuously 5-10 years behind the real smart people.
