Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

Nameslave - seems like you have the inside scoop on things. That post was back in April.
Any other interesting predictions you might have?

Yes, Verisign is divesting the Network Solutions registrar and Hosting business. However, Verisign is keeping the registry end of the service on .com and .net, and plans to RESTART the sitefinder service on those TLD's.

This sale of the registrar business only just keeps GoDaddy and others from complaining about using the monopoly status as a registry to enhance its registrar business. They probably just figure they can make more on the sitefinder redirects than they can selling domains at three times or more the price of other registrars.
