Protecting My Domain and Moniker

Apr 27. 2010

I recently discovered that a blogger has taken to using the "Geek in Heels" moniker for her own site. (Thank you, Google Alerts, for giving me the heads-up!) The blog is relatively new and does not seem to have many readers. However, the writer is Asian like myself and our blogging topics are bound to overlap sooner or later. It is precisely for these reasons that I began to wonder if I should protect the "Geek in Heels" name by grabbing all the popular top-level domains (.com, .net, .org, etc).

"Don't ever ignore your cravings or your baby will come out with crooked eyes!" she repeatedly told me. (Now that's one old wives' tale I can get behind!) I was sure that I would return at least 5 lbs heavier, but I was dumbfounded to find that I had lost a few pounds. Huh. Take a look at last week's and today's belly shots side-by-side: As you can see I certainly don't look any thinner; if anything, I look bigger! Nonetheless, I'm happy to report that what I had been predicting seems to be coming true: I'm...
