i wasn't thinking about the domain equivalent of cooldude69, i was thinking more of sites like "daringfireball.net", "intertwingly.net", "defmacro.org" - something that is creative without being gauche. (personally, i really wanted hitchhiker.net but i was too late to get it)

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that tackiness was along the lines of what you were thinking, the analogy was off the mark.

I like hitchhiker.net, but looks that company has grabbed all the TLD variations unfortunately.

I'm curious, what would you do with hitchhiker.net if you had it today? I ask because a friend of mine was excited to grab InsomniaLabs.com on the drop, but has yet to make much of it as his personal site.

i'd probably move over my rudimentary website [http://zem.novylen.net/ - some 10 years ago a friend who was more proactive about these things set up novylen.net and then offered a bunch of friends free domains on it, so i figured why not] and consolidate a few scattered ideas for blogs i started on wordpress.org. "zem" and "hitchhiker" are names i frequently go by online and in fandom, so it would definitely be something i thought of as a personal site to coalesce my online identity around.
