Nu Minnesota

I just bought a new domain name today. I won it at an auction actually, where I have been getting most of the domains that I buy used / second hand now. I'm proud of this one, although some might question if I should be, it's Minnesota.nu. I don't know what county the .nu ccTLD belongs to and I'm going to have to look that up at some point, but it's easy to make the connection to the word "new".

My plan is to set up this domain as a blog for news about Minnesota. I'm thinking about opening it up so that anyone that has news about Minnesota can publish it on the blog for free and via email. I'm going to have to work out some of the details, but I don't think it will be too hard.

While I'm talking about domains I have mention that I also picked up Bankruptcy.jp a couple of weeks ago, again at an auction. This one was a bit expensive, but I thought it might be worth getting. We'll see how that turns out. The registration on .jp domains is like a number of the ccTLD and that can be expensive. In this case, it's $100 a year.
