Baio.net

Posted Jul 4, 2002

After expiring last September, Baio.net was finally released back into the wild yesterday and I snapped it up! I'd been patiently waiting for months, so it's a relief that nobody else registered it (like the Scott Baio fan club.)

Now, I can give out vanity e-mail addresses to my dad's side of the family, if they ever got around to getting computers. Also, I was thinking of setting up a family weblog a la Utsler.net. Any Baios (Baioes? Baioii?) around the world who want a free e-mail address, give me a buzz.

Woo! Locking down the Baio! I have my own Scott Baio to deal with, so I know how important it is to control the family name.
