I was having lunch the other day with Jason Wilson (my bro) and Tony Morgan Live. Amongst other things, we discussed web URLs. On the way to lunch, we saw a car with a Ken Wilson Ford tag. Now I’m familiar with this place as it’s only about 2 hours from Anderson.

“Hey!” I said. “That’s who owns my name URL.” Or so I thought. But a brief search on the google showed me that in fact they do not own this URL. They own kenwilsonford.net. Hmm… so who owns my name? Turns out, it’s held by one of those web URL holding companies hoping to land it big.

Curious, I decided to email these groups and find out what I could score my name for. OK, hold your breath. It turns out they’d be happy to help me acquire it for a cool $2500.

Tony suggested kenwilsonlive.com, which I don’t think links to anything (at least my opendns.com at the house blocks it).

No, for now I think I’ll be sticking with avclub.us. Which brings me to another item, have you ever wondered the origins of the name avclub? I’d be happy to enlighten you. Originally, this was called the “newspring av club,” and was a blogger / blogspot blog. I then shortened it to http://avclub.blogspot.com to keep it free and simple. Finally, I realized the limitations of blogger and moved my my own slice of the internets, the current home of the avclub.us.

I didn’t say it was an exciting story.
