on Names
z.bru studios. that’s it. i’ve even got a logo (after the break). way to go me! it was a tough, tough decision, but i’m happy with the results.
here’s a funny story, though. when i was checking domain names, i checked zbru.com in addition to zbrustudios.com. turns out someone w/a hotmail account (no offense intended to those still rocking hotmail) has zbru.com, and has a for-sale page posted at it. kind of curious but not that interested in paying for it, i emailed the hotmailer asking how much s/he was wanting for it. i figured maybe $100, and i’d only take it for $10 just for grins. guess they thought it was worth a bit more, b/c they asked for $4k. right.
maybe in the 90s that sort of thing would work out alright. maybe some existing company was a little late on the internet wagon, then realized their name space had already been bought up, and the entrepreneurial pirate could charge what they wanted. nowadays, though…. get serious. anyway w/an established business has for sure bought up there space (or they’re going out of business anyway), and anyone looking to start a business is going to be checking domain names while they’re thinking about business names and will obviously spare the $4k and think of a different name.
anyway, enough of my ranting. more than anything i just think it’s silly and antiquated. but no problem for me, for i’m the proud leaser of zbrustudios.com, home of the up and coming z.bru studios.
start looking for the z.bru….
