How could I resist the temptation of buying another two domain names for my blog, which I already don’t update often enough to justify paying for a single name?

So I decided that “garoo.net” was more appropriate to stand for “garoo network” than as a blog, and I needed a new, more original name for my personal blog. And I also needed to merge the visual design and object design blogs, because I regularly had trouble deciding where a particular link would fit. And I, like, totally needed to buy a new domain for my TV/movie/book reviews — so that the personal blog one would be appropriately empty, I guess.

So here’s what’s new:

• garoo.net (rss) publishes individually every article that I write on one of my blogs, plus daily digests of my Twitter postings and the occasional Flickr photo

• underachievementunlocked.com (rss) is my personal blog, mostly devoid of content (and, yes, I’m super proud of a pun that one reader in a thousand will understand, even though it results in a domain name that my French readers will never be able to type)

• regardelafin.com (rss) hosts my reviews for, basically, anything that has a story (I’m currently in the process of going back through ten years of archives to transfer the matching posts from my personal blog)

The rest of the network is still here:

• ff00aa.com (rss) for tech news and reviews

• bewarethefrog.com (rss) for gaming news and reviews

• regardelecran.com (rss) for all kinds of pretty pictures and videos

• regardelaroute.com (rss) for things with wheels

• regardelemec.com (rss) for things with balls

When I get around to it, cedric-bozzi.com will be dedicated to my portfolio, and I’ll probably buy yet another domain name for my photo galleries. Because it would just make sense. Considering.

R.I.P. LeChat. Aortic thrombosis, just as my train was approaching Smallville, and two days after I read A Dirty Job, where a girl kills a kitty dead by pointing at it and calling “Kitty!”

Brace yourselves for my train ride back to Paris tomorrow night.
