An 1884 US silver dollar arrived to Sarah’s PO box from China. It was addressed to her but she didn’t order it. The coin was the only item enclosed in a small envelope.

Spent two hours exploring the building this morning, abandoned nearly 50 years.

Ideas floating for weeks, months and years finally coming to fruition- internet domain auctions fits that category. Today an experiment finally begins.

downwiththe.us

imagifind.com

facialrecognitionsearch.com

terrorfist.com

Opening a domain auction account with GoDaddy.com costs $4.99. Domains of the “.us” kind cost $6.99 and “.com” cost $11.99, so just under $50 is now invested in this experiment. The auctions last 89 days so bookmark this post(click the post title) if you want to keep track. Somebody recently started an auction for PetFish.com at $12 and the bidding is now over $1200, so wait at least 89 days to judge this plan.

You may be curious about those first three domains in the list above. My initial goal was to register domains related to photo recognition searches, which will soon become the internet controversy of our time. In the course of searching for available such domains I somehow found DownWiththe.US and ImagiFind.com. Whatever, now lets wait 89 days.

Tower condo owned by the cruise line that Sarah works for. Most of Whittier’s population lives in this building.
