Just a great great personal domain. .st TLDs are too expensive to maintain anyway. I was keeping this as my personal blog, focusing on posting fast and furious. I'm not fast or furious enough for the kids these days anyway. Visit this site or revive it.Domain: discontinuedcereals.com

Obit: Never actually going to do this
The idea was to buy and freeze a few boxes of every niche cereal brand, so that whenever a cereal was discontinued we could sell off our stock to distraught cereal lovers at a terrific markup. I was never going to actually do this, but the domain name made me happy. I have no regrets. Revive this site.Domain: kicksartre.com

Obit: I needed a new computer
Named after Jean-Paul Sartre, this was going to be a fundraising platform for philosophical inquiry. At the time, my laptop was broke, and I couldn't afford a new computer. This was before there were non-products-based fundraising platforms. I made this site to convince people that a new computer would be life-changing. I wanted to grow this platform to be like Kickstarter, but for raising money for abstract ideas, not a specific project or product. Revive this site.Domain: icecreamdeathmarch.com

Obit: Makes me smile
In my imagination an ice cream death march is where you and your friends march all over your city getting ice cream from as many places as possible. This site was meant as an event page for such an event. I say "in my imagination" because I never organized this event. Still, the juxtaposition of "ice cream" with "death march" makes me smile and I think underscores the seriousness with which I think about ice cream. Revive this site.Domain: perludus.com

Obit: A repository of game development
With a name based on the Latin phrase "Per Ludus" or "From Play", this site was a repository of game development and other topics when I did such things. Alas I got a "real job" at some point, and it just slid away from my priorities. It was sad to toss it, kind of like tossing that box of "cool scraps of metal you are going to make something with some day" in the garage.

Obit: After the passing of Michael Jackson and the global outpouring that followed, I was moved at how people all over the world were inspired by his ability to bring joy and get people dancing.
I envisioned that the last Saturday of the month of August could be this day as immediately following his passing his birthday fell on a Saturday and there were naturally lots of dance parties held on that day in his honor. The idea was to encourage that to happen every year as a global day of love and unity through music and dance. Sadly, the overwhelming weight of the task of elevating this concept got the better of me and I never got around to it. In light of the events of the past year, and the gate of information that is hard to ignore. I realized that value of this particular idea has passed its time and that this domain should be laid to rest. Visit this site or revive it.Domain: abstractmachine.com

You had to use their custom content management system focused on contact information. You see, .TEL was all about getting in touch with people or organizations. I somehow missed that information during the land rush. I let the domain pass into the afterlife on March 22, 2014. I hadn't set up the anonymous email service. As of today, I see that both dont.tel and donot.tel have been reborn. P.S.

Obit: After I left my corporate job a year ago, I hired a life coach who encouraged me to find my people (i.e. creatives).
She thought community would be good for me (she's right) and also that I should be the one to build it (she was wrong about that). I was watching a lot of Gilmore Girls at the time, and cribbed the name of this artist's collective from the secretive Yale society Rory infiltrates for her school paper. I never got it off the ground other than building the site, some social media accounts, and a couple of blog posts. I think it's something that should exist, but I'm not the one to bring it into existence. Visit this site or revive it.Domain: www.stampler.pl

Obit: Used for my photoblog.
I found it incredibly fitting for the fact that I couldn’t make up my mind on so many things, including domains. Eventually I decided to move my photo content to my regular blog, but I hung onto this for a few years after I stopped using it... because I couldn’t make up my mind.

Obit: Bought this for about 20 bucks.
I was inspired by an article I read about Google X's leader Astro Teller a.k.a captain of moonshots. My idea was to sell it to Google. I didn't. It's currently selling at 2300$ on GoDaddy. Visit this site or revive it.Domain: pottyplotter.com

Obit: Short-lived but stolen by Amazon lawyers before it got going.
No money to battle the giant who hired experts to claim it. I wrote an in-depth story of events at the time meant for my blog but didn't publish it because of fear they would lash out further. Visit this site or revive it.Domain: flattest.land

Obit: Originally conceived as a sort of meta-tribute to Flatland.
The classic story at once explanatory parable of spatial multi-dimensionality and cultural satire. I'd intended to create some sort of collection of multimedia interpretations / renderings of Flatland — e.g. animation, audio, illustration, poetry — loosely related to another side project I was working on at the time, about possibilities for media and storytelling. Alas, didn't get off the ground, and this .tld is too expensive to keep on the back burner for multiple years. Visit this site or revive it.

Obit: I bought this domain to host a side project where I'd write short prose poetry fantastical descriptions of rocks.
Kind of Invisible Cities inspired, accompanied by close-up photos (edited scans, really) of each rock. It started as a random creative writing exercise using a bunch of collected beach rocks, then I imagined it as an art project I'd continue for 52 rocks, but that kind of trailed off after…maybe a dozen? I still think this was actually good and I should revisit it, ha. This lived on Tumblr for a while but I've since abandoned Tumblr for everything and realized if I ever revisit it the domain isn't really necessary.

Obit: Maybe it was going to be a personal travelogue from someone too camera-shy to use it.
Or maybe it would have been a list of curated social media posts from people living their best life out there, so blessed, omg. In the end, I only wish this had taken off before #vanlife did. We salute you, summernauts of the world! Visit this site or revive it.Domain: fredtheunicorn.com

You were such a great idea. An analytics Slack bot with personality. You weren't going to be a normal robot - no, you were going to be a unicorn.
