#7What a wonderful and refreshing approach to entrepreneurship. I loved his previous post about selling onions, and I like his strategy of picking a domain first and then running with it -- the details will be filled in later. Domain names have so much potential!

thank you zapstar! Sorta like Bill Walsh (49ers coach) said (essentially).. start on the right foundation and "the score will take care of itself".. Domain names are such a great way to start a project off on the right foot..

Stuff like this, or some of patio11's early work seems a lot more within the grasp of ordinary people. That's why it's interesting to read about for me, at least.
