nice list! I also did a similar post, and since people seem to be posting theirs here, here's mine: http://blog.mroth.info/blog/2012/11/11/the-year-in-side-proj...

I'm loving this stuff! It says you went on a domain buying spree after the emoji find. Can I ask what Other domains you got? Is there something special about the .ws or does it work on .com too?
for .ws, as far as I can tell, most TLDs don't allow "fun" things such as emoji, and the software most registrars use also sometimes barfs on it, so it was definitely specific to that registrar/TLD/point in time. Not sure if it will still work. The registar was iwantmyname.com

No easy way to cut&paste the domains I have here, but my favorites other than the star are the spiral, bomb, storm cloud (which I want to turn into a weather service) and fork&knife.

hi - just wanted to say i loved your blog post, I am taking a look at setting up a prototype of pigstream just to get a feel for Ruby and Heroku. It is going well though I got stuck at installing the dependencies for the project. (bundle install...erm wat)Ill figure it out soon. All good fun though!
Hey there -- if the `bundle install` command isn't working when you are in the repo, you probably need the bundler gem installed, which is kind of like a package manager for ruby project deps. Just do `gem install bundler` and you should be able to run commands with it afterwards. Feel free to email me if you need any help!
