    Congrats to Aron for securing the domain.

    This puzzles me though, I just typed in http://www.aronmeystedt.com and it does not go to either XF.com or symbolics.com?

    Maybe a slight oversight?

    Just so everyone knows, every time something cool happens in my life, Bruce happens to be sitting at my local Panera’s.

    The streak now stands at 5 events after today.

    This is getting eerie man :)

    CNBC mentioned Symbolics.com this afternoon.
    They interviewed someone from Verisign and some author.

    Verisign mentioned some high numbers how much the internet is worth.

    I bought the first ever domain with a dot
    But someone beat me to mine, which I clearly forgot
    I don’t know what to do from now on
    It looks like all my domains will be sadly gone
    The time was short I did have a blast
    Not getting my name was my critical error, oh ghast.
