Domains
Collecting web domains can be fun, they can be an investment, and they can be simply practical in terms of making it easier for people to remember how to find your site.
Here’s a list of my domains and what I do with them, or plan to do with them. If you’re interested in buying one leave me a comment with your contact details.
UPDATE – Aug 25, 2009
I’ve recently retired most of these domains due to a lack of time to either use them or promote them for sale.
aussiegadget.com
Allowed to expire. Originally hosting my blog about gadgets and where to get them if you live in Australia, I’ve retired it due to lack of free time to update it.
blogdongle.com
Allowed to expire. A silly name that’s fun to say and easy to remember. I thought of it as a cool name for a tech blog or a social networking site.
blogittodeath.com
Allowed to expire. Another fun name that’s perfect for the heavy duty blogger.
channelsteve.com
The site you’re on right now. Contains links and references to my entire online persona, as well as my personal blog entries. The one port of call for keeping up with my Vietnamese adventures.
cheeseandbikkies.com
Allowed to expire. An interesting name that could be used for just about anything as long as it’s irreverent, comedic and fun.
execassistaustralia.com
Placeholder only, purchased by the contracting business – Executive Assistants Australia. No content, only used for email.
hrdrck.com, hrdrck.com.au
My original photography site, named after my early internet nickname and car registration plates. HRDRCK is short for “hard rock”, my favourite style of music. Redirects to www.rockportrait.com.
joepster.com
Site managed by Filipina photographer, traveler, scuba diver – Joepi Paloma. Joepi is also my dive buddy and advisor when I travel to Asia for scuba trips.
kennethwarmington.com, kennethwarmingtonphotography.com, thirtythousandfeetphotography.com
Thirty Thousand Feet of Film. Site managed by Melbourne classic photographer Ken Warmington. Ken works with me on many photography projects.
kiddystomp.com
Allowed to expire. Inspired by how I sometimes feel about the little brats when they misbehave, this is a catchy name suitable for all sorts of things.
loadthispage.com
Allowed to expire. One of those names that could be very handy if you’re building a high user-base social site.
loadthissite.com
Allowed to expire. Another name useful for building a high user-base social site.
myhatmycoat.com
Allowed to expire. A cute name with lots of possibilities.
nuttster.com
Run by the industrious yet very secretive Nuttster Corporation, this is a sandpit where I squirrel away a lot of my nutty ideas.
toolbox.nuttster.com
The Toolbox – on hiatus due to a shortage of time on my behalf, this is where you come to read up on the tools our world regularly throws at us. Contributors welcome.
overcomplication.com
For Sale. The world is an over-complicated place and as individuals we don’t help ourselves by over-complicating the simplest of tasks. This is the future home of a site that will document our ridiculously inefficient way of doing things.
rockdiggity.com
For Sale. Digitising. That’s the new way to ensure your precious memories are not lost to the ravages of time. Music, film, photos and more – irreplaceable memories are suffering from exposure to the air, or simply deteriorating due to the natural limited life of the materials from which they’re made. When I’m back in town and ready to begin, I’ll kick off a small business managing all your digitising needs. Inspired by my own experiences digitising photo slides and unique taped recordings.
rockportrait.com, rockportrait.com.au
Home to Rock Portrait Photography.
projects.rockportrait.com
Rock Portrait Photography internal project management site.
site.rockportrait.com.au
Home to the Rock Portrait Photo Blog.
sixxme.com
Allowed to expire. A rare item – a TLD with only six characters and a catchy name. Use it for anything you can think of.
snootynose.com
Allowed to expire. A cool blog name for the opinionated or overly grumpy.
snottyblog.com
Allowed to expire. If snootynose doesn’t do it for you, perhaps snottyblog might. Kleenex anyone?
stephenmcgrath.me
Allowed to expire. Grabbing my own identity from the new dot me domain space while I still can. It was redirected to Channel Steve, but I let it go because I could no longer justify its existence.
stevemcgrath.me
Allowed to expire. Grabbing my own identity from the new dot me domain space while I still can. It was redirected to Channel Steve, but I let it go because I could no longer justify its existence.
sucks-typedomains.com
For sale. There’s a type of site that exists purely to document how bad a particular brand or organisation may be in the eyes of the site owner. These sites are often situated on what is termed a “sucks-type-domain”, named as such because it will often be the name of the brand with the word “sucks” tacked on the end. I intend one day to document these domains at this site.
waddyalookinat.com
Allowed to expire. Well, What ARE you looking at? Another great name inspired by something we used to say as kids in school when someone stared at us. As internet site owners we generally want people to be looking at us so this seemed to be the perfect name.
