Domainz

Short version:
The site is now located at http://www.confusednation.com, just like it should be, and Kyle wasted like ten minutes writing an explanation that no one will read unless they're looking for jokes about themselves.

James Joyce Version:
Every year, around Christmastime, the domain name that I've hosted this blog on for eight big ones expires. And every year, I painfully decide that this chosen-on-a-whim domain needs to stick around, if for no other reason than shear posterity. After all, I have a lot of memories attached to this site. Or at the very least I have [8 years times 12 months/year times $14/month] worth of cash invested in its existence.

I thought this year would be different. Really. I thought I had finally come to peace with the fact that no one really minds adding ".blogspot" to the URL when it can save me some pocket change in the long run. After all, most people who visit this site use feedreaders to aggregate the content. And so, I watched as my domain host started sending me renewal notices back in November, and finally I got an e-mail that simply said "Domain expired on confusednation.com."

I didn't even flinch.

But when I returned home for Christmas, my friend Roy offhandedly mentioned how weird it was to type in the old site address and get an error back. That was actually all it took for me to race home, re-register the domain, transfer it to another registrar, and configure Blogger to use it.

And so now it's back here on http://www.confusednation.com, at least until next Christmas. I've also been mulling over the possibility of renaming (gasp!) my blog. If you've got any good ideas, you should totally throw them this-a-way.

Also, be on the lookout for my brother's blog, which should exist somewhere soon. He's actually an English major, which means he can't say things like "alot" and "there coming over for dinner tonight," and he probably has smarter things to write about than I do.
