Yesterday I noticed that the Slice of Pink homepage was gone and had been replaced by some site selling tickets to see Eric Clapton and Mariah Carey. Apparently, I forgot to renew my site. It would have been awesome if they had sent me an email letting me know that I was about to get the boot. Instead, it was all pink one day and Mariah Carey the next. Please know, dear readers, that I would never, never, try to get you to purchase a ticket to Eric Clapton or Mariah Carey. I am not, however, against trying to get you to purchase a Banana Slicer
. Because how cool is that! And useful! And fun! Don't y'all want one? I totally do.
When I saw that Pink was no longer pink, I immediately freaked out. As far as I could tell, it had been purchased by a company and I was not sure how much it would cost to get back. How much would I be willing to pay? $100? $500? $1000? Would I need to take up a collection? Would I have to become Slice of Yellow? Or Slice of Purple?
Luckily, the drama was short lived and two phone calls later I was again the owner of Slice of Pink for the bargain price of $36. I'm not sure how to get the actual stuff back on there, but at least it is possible and not lost to a website pirate or another lovah of the pink. Let's all breathe a sigh of relief. We don't have to go yellow.
yeah i noticed that on tuesday... i thought it was a pirate arrg

Oh, jeez! Good thing you were able to get it back. I would totally forget about renewing mine, too, but my host has always been good about emailing me in advance. I didn't even know you owned that site (I get here using the .typepad address...)

My links take me right to the typepad address as well, so I didn't notice either. Relived for your sake all the same.

One of my little nightmares, forgetting to renew my domain. Yes, I'm that neurotic.

Thank goodness! I had to do that once too. Then I put it on an alarm on my pda so it wouldn't happen again.
Your luck the alarm will go of in con-law or some other random law school location.
The son-in-law was in contracts class when his phone went off. He had forgotten to turn it off. Thank goodness it was his summer internship hopeful on the other line.

you should buy the domain for sliceof... every color. It would be pretty cool now that I think about it.
