              every time I go looking for a domain name, I start feeling like they're all taken and then I find one. ...but it's never been the first one.

                                  My domain, BradyKelly.NET isn't just about the domain qualifier, it's what I do. I wonder how long MS will take to get upset over me registering a CC (sort of like an LLC) with that name.
