Truth in domain law?
Per our local news station, comes this:
A slip of a finger can lead you to things you never wanted to see. Typos online can take you to hardcore porn. But now could the internet be cleaned up? The Knoxville Police Department says a new federal law could help make the world wide web a little safer for kids.
Type in “Bob the Builder”, but miss a letter and the kid-friendly cartoon construction worker doesn’t appear. Hardcore porn does.
I think keeping kids safe is a parental thing, but apparently I am the only one.
Prosecutors say John Zuccarini, arrested last week in Florida, is responsible for hundreds of tricky porn sites, and he’s the first person in the United States arrested for breaking the new truth in domain law.
I wasn’t aware we had a truth in domain law. Ya know, I don’t really walk around saying uncle all the time. But apparently it is a little known portion of the Amber Alert Law . . . And Big Stupid Tommy isn’t stupid. SouthKnoxBubba doesn’t live in South Knoxville. And CJ probably really isn’t up for anything. Guess they’re coming for us.

I may need to apply for a hotel operator’s license…

I’ll bet Donald Sensing isn’t really missing a hand.

I’ve wondered about saysuncle vs. sayuncle.

My old site was sayuncle.blogspot.com
sayuncle.com is taken and the people who own want between $600 and $10K for the domain. Yeah, right.
I had to come up with something.

My blog is now “Mr. Mike’s Rumpus Room O’ Science.” Since it’s on the web it’s not really a “rumpus room.” Am I in trouble? The “science” part is a little low, too. No one calls me Mr. except little kids. Sh*t….

Ha. Only $10,00?
I’ve been thinking about a domain. I did a few searches and a number of possibilities are already taken by people who probably never intend to use them.
On top of that, I guess I now need to get an honest name. Alas.
