Is your personal name URL still available? Get it!
A couple years ago I was checking to see if CraigSwanson.com was still available. It was not. In fact to drive that point home, I found this blog entry by another Craig Swanson commenting on being one of thousands of people with the exact same name:
"'Craig Swanson'" is quite possibly the 'John Smith' of the late 20th century."
Somewhat sobering to be just one in thousands of Craig Swanson's out there. Too bad I wasn't the first one to register the domain. If your name is still available, grab it.

For example, David Ingersoll is CreativeTechs's office manager. A quick check shows that DavidIngersoll.com is still available! He should snatch it up today -- just in case he ever wants to do something with it.
