In an era where physical networks have become the individual and social manifestation for which they were inevitably destined, why shouldn’t we have our own name as the address on them?

Perhaps as you allude in your close, there are still matters of privacy and security to resolve, but what would the Web otherwise be (still in its relative infancy) if it were not for the stalwart individuals who lay personal claim to it?

That may be grist for comments in reply to your first blog entry here. As for me, I welcome your new address and wish you well in your new abode on the Web.
