When I first transitioned my personal blog to the Area 73 name, the only reasonable domain name available was “area73.us”. At the time I was fine with it; it is short and easy to remember. However, it recently came to my attention that the “area73.org” and “area73.net” names have become available as well. Of course I immediately purchased them both, and how I am happy to report that this blog officially lives at area73.org! In fact, you can access it at any of the three domains, though they will all redirect to area73.org.
For the time being I have no plans to decommission the original area73.us, so any page links out in the wild will continue to work. However I still suggest updating your bookmarks to use the new canonical site name.
Now if only area73.com would become available…
