Lately a couple of people have chided me in a good natured way about the sheer volume of sites and social networks I update and manage. I think this is great. My goal is to own the whole web.

What they don’t realize is how much bigger my cache website ideas is that I’ve never actually acted on… To that end, here are a just a few of domains I own that I haven’t actually done anything with… If you have some ideas, let me know.

www.pointandshoot.me
– I registered this with my growing love for point and shoot aesthetic in photography, film, and junk cameras.

www.pawnshopphotos.com
– Fairly self explanatory, especially if you follow a few of my recent blog postings.

www.saintjohnisthenewhalifax.com – Not sure what to do with this… but in case you’re having trouble deciphering it reads Saint John is the new Halifax.

www.pervasiveweb.com – The web is everywhere and getting into more nooks and crannies of our lives by the minute. I was surprised to find this domain unregistered.

www.abelleblanc.com – Um… yeah… this is for… stuff. I used to own ivancourt.com too, but I’ve let it lapse along with a bunch of other politicians and political domains.

www.provingground.ca – This is my lab… where I test PHP code and stuff… might need to put something public facing on there though.

Domains I own but don’t do anything with…

basket_ball_girls_1951_001_web

The 51 on the basketball would put this at 1951. I did some digging around on Google images to try and figure out if this was a local high school based on the uniforms/font, but I couldn’t find anything.

I love their sneakers. I’ve a bit of a crush on number 8 there to be truthful with you.

big_crowd_with_babies_and_santa_001_web

This one is my favorite. Strange collection of young ladies and children. I’m guess that’s santa in the middle. Either that or some kind of grand wizard.

Anyone recognize the room from the pillar, roof pattern, or windows?

This one provides the most detail. In ink handwriting on the back it says…

Forbes Mother & Father

Donald William MacLeod – born Feb 15, 1872 – Died Dec 2, 1948
Rachael (MacSeweyn) MacLeod – born April 16, 1878 – Died Dec 31, 1952

I am told Donald William MacLeod was the groundskeeper of Lady Dunn’s property in St. Andrews for most of his life. I have no idea if that is accurate.

More vintage photo finds

These are scans of vintage photos I found in local antique/junk shop. Do you know these people?

Frost/Nixon still from rehearsal

Have I mentioned in March I'm going to be in Saint John Theatre Company's production of Frost/Nixon? Well, I am. You should come see it. This is a shot from the rehearsal space.
