I am not above admitting that it is likely due in part to a fear of commitment that, for my daily robot project, I chose not to register a domain including the word “daily.” In a coup of lukewarm, noncommittal dedication, I have safely set up shop under a domain with no reference to a supposed frequency of updates, leaving only the disjointed, easily mutable graphic headline of the site to offer a revocable promise of daily updates.
To be fair, my ultimate choice of domain was also motivated by a desire to keep the potential scope of the site open to future expansion. And while the words “Robot Project” may err on the side of cliché, they have, at least to me, in their evocation of childhood visions of Optimus Prime, a subtle ring of pleasant familiarity.
