Apparently a day came and went last month without my realizing it. On January 11th, mattster.com turned ten years old. I’m somewhat ashamed that in my ten years of having an online presence I haven’t really done much with it. Short of upgrading the site software and adding some links to the “main” page (http://www.mattster.com/), I haven’t really touched this site in almost a year. Maybe I’ll do better in the future, but no promises.

I will at least take this opportunity to reflect on some of the things that I have accomplished with the site.

First off, I beat Napster. They didn’t register their domain name until February 20, 1999. There is absolutely no truth to any of the vicious lies that I got the idea for my awesome name from them. For proof, see and compare my whois report to their whois report. Pay close attention to the “creation date,” it will provide all the proof you need.

On the domain name front, I’ve secured my presence and online identity at a number of top level domains (TLDs), including a presence on three continents (even though I’ve only been to two of the three). I’m poised for entry into both the UK and Israeli markets, though, should such a position ever actually stand to benefit me.

More changes are coming… maybe!
