In my experience, lots of people get hung up when you tell them they don't have to put www. before an address (eg with a Wikispaces site); I could just see the potential for confusion with people trying to type "bariex.ca.com", etc, and as cheap as domain names are, I don't have the dough to buy all possible misspellings of my name. Thanks for the encouraging words! This has been on my mind for a few months, and I'm just now getting around to putting pen to paper (er, you know what I mean).

Just wondering, have you pursued bariex.ca at all? I notice a trend toward registering domain names using the last 2 or 3 letters as the suffix. When those are available, of course. I'm liking your series on identity management. I've adopted the policy of not hiding my identity, but not getting caught up in inflammatory comments/conversations either. <abbr><em>Rick’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.rickscheibner.net/technology/what-does-your-future-look-like/" rel="nofollow">What does your future look like?</a></abbr></em> Good stuff here, Damian.
