Dot Asia Domain Update

Note: Read the full article and get my available top 4-letter picks!

logo_dot_asia.gifOn the 26th of March 2008 [dot] Asia domains were released to the public. It has been a massive first-come-first-served fight out. What they (dotasia.org) tried to do was have pre-registrations so companies, individuals and governments could reserve their names and trademarks. As for quality updated information on the net, check the .asia forums out there.

In my humble opinion dotasia.org did well. They are cashing in on the domain frenzy big time. Check the domain tickers on their website. It is basically a scrolling stock market domain price indicator. A group called Sunrise have reserved a giant swath of quality domains and are auctioning them off for a humble penny.

  • Ace.asia - USD $20,501
  • MediaWorld.asia - USD $10,000
  • Spotlight.asia - $5,700

The five levels are all upwards scrolling platformers based on Pacman, Pong, Tetris, Space Invaders and Mario. Get fruits for bonus points and finish each level quickly for a time bonus. Relax, it’s not that hard as you cannot die. If you get hit you simply fall down a few platforms losing time. [What is ACMI Game On?]

[Get your 2 for 1 pass NOW!]

After walking past the 10 metre neon Mario on Flinders Street Melbourne I entered the ACMI Game On Exhibition. It is $15 Adult $10 Concession. For $5 extra you get a loaded iPod voice overview of the Game On gallery. Skip this as you can read this narrative in 10 seconds from the handout pamphlets. Keep in mind - this is not a video game expo but an exhibition funded by Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

Keep walking straight from the entry and you’ll be at the Memory Map - a collection of artist submitted short videos of the history of Victoria watched from all encompassing futuristic booths and is not a bad experience. Take a left up the escalators and you can watch student made films in the cinemas, have food and coffee at the cafe, or buy cool trinkets at the ACMI shop. Video gamers - you enter, pay, take a right down the stairs to the underground plethora of gaming goodness.

Yesterday I registered for the Cumberoona Fun Run in Albury. Early this morning on this beautiful Autumn day I realised I had no runners. I left them in Melbourne and ran 6.5km in Adidas dress shoes. My self-motivating thoughts echoed, ‘If they are good enough for a 1920’s athlete they’re good enough for me!’

The course began at 10AM in Noreuil Park, Albury, NSW with a run along the riverside path to Oddy’s Hill and back. See map for detailed route. It was part of the 2008 Albury MultiSport Spectacular during the weekend of the 1st - 2nd of March.

Other events held included the Norske Skog 1km Murray swim and a 4.2 km run aquathon, kayaking, the Full Cycle downhill mountain biking, rollerblading, 90 minute Orienteering, and the 133km Lake Hume road cycling challenge. Check out the Events Program for more details.
