All projects of the author are incredible [1]. "The Useless Web" [2] is something I enjoy every time too.

'The Useless Web' lead me to http://heeeeeeeey.com/, which lead me to http://hooooooooo.com/ -- a delightful pair of domains. I really enjoy the idea and simple execution.

When a beginner asks you a question easily solved with Google and then complains when you point that out, tell them you've decided not to help them anymore until they've stared at this for 15 minutes with the volume up.

After two sessions, they'll be reading man pages.

It must cost a lot in domains ! Each of its "Useless" projects as one.

Domains cost a few bucks a year.

One of his domains is tomsdog.com. I don't know how much he paid for it, but I can get donsdog.com for about $10 a year. The list kaismh posted has 75 items in it, so say $750 a year.

The way I like to think about this is that if his after-tax income is $50,000, he is spending 1.5% of his income on domain names.

theuselessweb.com is amazing, I killed the fun by looking at the JS code and retrieving the sitesList object, it is no longer magic for me
