Don't give Trump any ideas.

It's kind of funny how the colonial convenience of having the 0 longitude line pass through Greenwich, UK ends up making Africa the most prominent place on the world map, since the centerpoint (0,0) is just off the African coast. This was true with Mercator as well, but Equal Earth emphasizes just how huge the African continent actually is.

I've had a .name domain forever and I had no idea first.last.name was even a thing, meaning that it was possible to register this without owning last.name.

That said, my domain is simply unusual.name, and everybody in my family has email addresses in the form [email protected]. So this is a no-op for me, and I gather www.unusual.name will also continue to work, since I own the 2nd level outright.

What does any of this have to do with Chen Danyan?
