As we are driving,  an excited voice from the back seat . . .

Ben:  “Dad, what does that say?”

Dad:  “Stewartville Auto Sales”

Ben:  “No the other sign.  It says something .com”

Dad:  “Oh, www.findcars.com”

Ben:  “We can probably go to that on the computer.”

He also realizes that if he sticks a .com at the end of something he likes, they might have some cool stuff:

  • lego.com
  • starwars.com
  • pbskids.com

“Dad, can I borrow your computer?”

This has also sparked his imagination of the possibilities.

Ben:  “Dad, I just though of something . . . snowshop.com”

Dad:  “What is that Ben?”

Ben:  “I don’t know, I just made it up.  It sounds cool though.”

snowshop.com is already taken . . . I checked.  If he comes up with something unique and available, maybe Dad will buy the domain for him as a present :D   Now that’s geeky!
