So what's with the domain name Fine Day Coming?
|
For the past several nights I've happened to look down at the bottom right corner of the monitor and noticed that the time was 12:34. And the other day I was driving down I-35, listening to a random selection of 176 songs on an MP3-encoded CD in the car. Carly Simon's Anticipation was playing, and the line "But I-I, rehearsed those words just late last night..." played right when I passed a hearse on the interstate. I mean, how often do you pass a hearse on the interstate? What's my point? Hell, I don't know.
When searching for a new domain name, I listed fifty-five potentials — fifty-five that I would consider registering, not just fifty-five clever and available domains. For some reason, I had a strong urge to listen to Swell. Swell is my favorite band ever. Ever, ever. Good, great stuff. And you know, I took a stab at writing a novel a long time ago. Was a piece of junk, really, but I finished it, and had those young-man dreams of seeing it made into a movie (forget the fact that it could never really even be in print, let alone a movie). The epilogue has the main character riding off into the proverbial sunset, and I always thought it would be just perfect if I could have Swell's Fine Day Coming playing at that point.
Well, what do you know...
Finedaycoming.com was available. And it made it through all the cuts, and came out the winner. Pretty much "serendipitydoo"... which was also a candidate for a time.
