The marketing team here at Tucows has informed me that domain names are increasing in value. People are forking outbig money for them again. I hear that domain names ending with the word "world" -- for example, "pantsworld.com", "steakworld.com", "accordionworld.com" -- are highly prized.

(If you'd like to know more interesting facts about domain names, Dennis Forbes has written an excellent article on what's taken and what's still available.)

I have decided that I have not exercised my domain name registration powers enough. No more!

I have claimed that the Internet would be "over" -- not "over" in the non-functional sense, but "over" as in the way acid-wash jeans are -- when the domain name drinkyourownpee.com was registered. I have decided that I must destroy the internet in oder to save it and decided to register it myself. It's mine now. Mine! Drink Your Own Pee Dot Com! Whoo-hoo!

(Ahem.)

And now comes the experiment. I'm going to see if I can turn it into a money-maker. There are all sorts of strategies I can try; I'm going to take some for a test spin and see which ones work. If drinkyourownpee.com makes me enough money to take Wendy out to dinner once a month, I'll consider it a success. I'll keep you informed of my progress.

(Suggestions are welcome -- just leave them in the comments!)

I do not, I repeat, do not drink my own pee.

Update: Or anyone else's pee, you wiseguys.
