I have a new idea for a website. I would write about it, but I don’t want to give away my ideas. Now I know it is arrogant to think that I have a golden idea that someone would want to steal–but it is a good idea.

I saw a problem in society, and I’ve been trying to solve it. I was writing a journal several months ago about the problem, and then the idea just zapped me. Since then, I’ve been obsessing over the details of how to make it a bullet-proof site. I’ve written about 30 pages for the site already, but I haven’t found a good name for it.;

I thought of a catchy URL last week and leaped toward my computer to go buy it. (I learned in 1998 that you buy a URL the second you think of it.) But of course someone already owns it.; I was impressed that he had the foresight to buy it back in 1995. The site itself is okay, but it hadn’t been updated in five years. So I emailed him with an offer to buy it. What’s the worst that could happen?

He’s been busy and hasn’t had time to work on the site and make it into what he wants.

He liked the concept of the site, but he’s afraid he’ll regret selling it. If he wants to make it into a cool website, I can’t help but wonder when he expects to make it happen.

Putting together a quality website is a rare thing. Sure there are a bazillion sites out there, but 95% of them absolutely suck. To make a top-notch site, you have to have a magic combination of skill, time, and talent. And even if you make a cool site, it takes a tremendous amount of time to keep going. I’ve spent well over 1500 hours here on Supafly.com.

I am able to build quality websites because I love it. But realistically, I have permission to do it because I am not married. Most web designers have to pay bills so they design other’s sites to get paid. But I have a steady job, and I can afford to spend me free time making sites just for fun. When I’m married, everything that I have will go to my family. Websites don’t seem that important when your kids need love.

So I am praying hard, hoping he will sell me his URL. I’m ready to make it happen.

You know, I’ve been typing this journal for over an hour. I’m seeing how much God has His hand in every part of my life. I can’t believe how these things fit together.
