Pointlessly Virtual

Have you ever been on fire to purchase something, even if you're not 100% sure you'll actually use it?? As you know, I have. You know because you read my prior savaging of the basic underpinnings of consumerism.

In this case, it's a domain name. A domain name? As in something I can't touch feel, or squeeze/rub myself on? Yes. Sad isn't it? If I were an actual company with an actual agenda, with actual funding, I could probably use this domain name to approximately save the world in one tiny way, but that isn't the case, and this domain will languish, paid for but not used. I could glob there, maybe, telling everyone how exciting it is this idea that I don't want anyone to steal, but other than that, not overly useful and virtually pointless.
