Well, I’ve been thinking of going to the next base of online existence, (drumroll) getting my own domain! And with it there is the process of coming up with that original, easy-to-remember and not-yet-squatted (damn you domain squatters!) domain name.
So, when I read this BoingBoing post about new top-level-domains and Cory’s editorial about the “.sex” TLD, I wondered if that TLD really exists, so I typed in “lets.have.sex” in Opera. An error came up. I guess they’re still just in the planning stages.
Yeah, come to think of it, “lets.have.sex” is a bit childish. 
. But anyway, you can’t really put that on the t-shirt without the “http://” in front of it (and the final “/”), which makes it very dorky and so 1997 (during the early days of the web, companies put “http://” on TV/print/billboard ads because I guess they were afraid their audience wouldn’t recognize that it’s their website. The “http://” is usually followed by “www”, which is a big freaking clue. I guess the Marketroids were afraid that their customers would put in “www.idiotcompany.com” in their browser and it would bring up an error, because it’s missing the protocol. Ah, Marketroids are dumb). But “lets.have.sex” would really be seen as a dumb t-shirt writing instead of an URL because of the missing “www” and/or “http://”. But if “http://”, can I also have, “gopher://”, “ftp://”, or “file://”?
