For a new company, a good domain name is like an office on Madison Ave. (or the similar San Francisco equivalent!) and if you’re starting your company now or soon, you basically have four choices:
Valleywag Launches
Nick Denton’s first foray into the world of tech gossip is now live, and the site is called Valleywag, written by Nick Douglas of Blogebrity. I’m hoping that this blog on blogs is less lame that the dozens of other blog on blogs people have come up with, but we’ll just have to wait and see how it pans out. And what’s with the fuzzy pixel fonts in the logo? Not only did pixel fonts go out with the dodo, but fuzzy pixel fonts are the bane of every designer’s existence. Bane!
Big up to Nick since he writes about 9rules once in awhile. I’m expecting that courtesy to stop immediately, not only because I just busted his chops in this entry, but because he’s a big mothercuffer now and us little guys were his stepping stones. 🙂

So far I’m incredibly impressed with its size, ridiculous display (I’ve already got a custom 9rules background on it!), web browsing capabilities and CSS rendering, speed, industrial design, and just about everything else that I could be impressed by. I’ve even got a Bluetooth keyboard up and running with absolutely no hassle at all. I can’t *wait* to start diving into the window management files and changing the entire user interface! Stay tuned for a real review, as soon as I stop drooling.
