Domain name obsessed [developer]

// Domain names are beautiful //[.com] domains, specifically. I quite enjoy acquiring them at auction and building projects that focus on purpose over profit.I didn't start this way, though. I was a happy 9-5 employee; until they started laying me off; that's why I began building.I sometimes write. Poorly? meh. I wrote an essay about onions that folks on Hacker News liked, so I got that going for me.I'm an Ole Miss Rebel, I'll pet cats if I see them, and small town + simple living is the life for me.π¦ β½ π π½οΈ π₯οΈ π β«com π€ πΌ π§ π π§ π¦ π§ β² π€

You don't really need a business idea. All you really need is a great domain name. The domain can be your business inspiration.

And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all, you won't be "free"Society, you're a crazy breed

May 2024
Vidalia onion shipping season is rolling along ~ our shipping season began on April 22nd. While we enjoyed a spike in orders during Covid, it's been a challenging to achieve those numbers again. But - all in all - very happy with the crop & order volume so far.We launched a YouTube channel, and I've been enjoying the randomness & fragility of capturing the farming world on video. Meaning, there is no planning. If you plan, it will rain, or it'll hail, or a tornado will form (like a few weeks ago). It forces you to slow down and become fluid. I essentially text Aries the night before if the following day is convenient. Then I arrive & film whatever is going on. No real agenda. Farming writes the topic. I capture on video, then figure out the direction in post. I believe I'm built for that type of uncertainty. Just throw myself in & figure out later.In June, I'll travel to Jackson Hole, WY to visit some dude ranches. Most advertise on DudeRanch.com & utilize RanchWork.com. I simply enjoy shaking hands & saying hello. That's what this trip is for.thanks to Derek Sivers for the Now page inspiration
