I have been using the domain name System0.net for my online presence (ie. my home page) since 2002. I never really thought about getting the .com but I checked recently and saw that the owner was selling it through Sedo.

I had to laugh when I came across this story. It’s one thing to get caught walking in the street in Googles StreetView, it’s another thing to get caught sleeping on the street pissed off your head. The man, Bill, is not planning to make a complaint. I’m not too happy about it’ said Bill. … Read more
The comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from pneumonia. I thought he was hilarious so I was shocked to hear him die so young. Bernie Mac dies at 50
