Naked midget URLs are forever

I live by the URL autocompletion feature found on most browsers. Before I add an interesting site to my visitation schedule, I have to give serious thought to how much it might conflict with other domains I like that start with the same letter. The “veg” category is pretty much a lost cause, requiring at least “www.veg” to get where I want to go, and sometimes 3 or 4 letters past that. The trouble is, AngelA and I usually end up sharing browser time on the good Mac, which means my fast paths are sometimes led astray. Today my automatic navigation to Davezilla led me instead to David Scopick‘s site, and I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he really made me wonder what was up with the radical Davezilla redesign before I figured out what had happened. I shrugged it off and realized that AngelA probably has the same thing happen to her all the time. Then I thought about the sites I end up at (um, purely due to research for VP, yeah), and I’m wondering how much trouble I’m in on a day to day basis.
