Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.

[captainsblog]

When I first looked up that verse online, I got a newer English version that reads, "Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless!  Everything is meaningless.” Sorry, that just sounds more like Marvin the Paranoid Android than the Book of Ecclesiastes.

But anyway. 

The subject of the vanity, for a change, is your humble host. I don't even know how the subject came up in the past day or so, but I found myself checking if the domain name for ray[mylastname].com was available or not.  And indeed it is. 

I almost have to grab it, right? I'm not the only one of my name that I know; hell, there's at least one other within a couple miles of here in Cheektovegas, and a few others around the country I've sometimes run across while looking up other lost rels.

Presumably, Network Solutions will take my 20 bucks or whatever it is now and fix me up for a couple of years just to have it. But THEN what, Bat-friends?

You can contribute your 2K bytes about this in a couple of ways. I'd love comments, or emails, with what a lawyer-slash-writer (as opposed to a lawyer-writer-of-slash) might do with such a site.  Keep in mind that using it for Teh Job would subject it to some arcane Ruulz about lawyer advertising and such.

Or, to be shameless about getting input, you can just answer some questions here!
