For those of you who don't know, I lost foohonpie<strong>.com</strong> years ago to some rather aggressive domain squatters. I've considered it long since gone and had grown to accept that foohonpie<strong>.net</strong> would forever be my home on the web.
This was always a sad thing for me as foohonpie.com was my first registered domain, my first website, the first home to <a href="http://www.snatcomic.com/">S.N.A.T.</a>, and perhaps most importantly my first vehicle of expression to a community of friends and strangers. To me, as a writer, it's extremely gratifying to have had an opportunity to connect with readers in a way that is only possible online. As a web developer, it's even more gratifying that this was all happening on a platform that I had created.
So with all this history, having lost the domain was a serious bummer. Sure, foohonpie.net was the next logical choice and indeed it has served me well, but I am happy to be in control of the .com once again. I won't go into the details involved in this whole mess, but let's just say luck was on my side this time and I'm happy to have it back. Sure it's just a name, but in the world of the web, a name is no trivial matter.
With its return comes a newly designed website. I've taken a fairly serious approach to layout design this time around and hopefully it shows. Of course, comments and/or criticisms are more than welcome. Enjoy!
