It reads funny now, but it made sense because the author’s name is Melvin and he is blogging, hence melvinblog.com.

Over time, I’ve developed a list of domain names that I would want to change the site to, but the two I’ve been eyeing the most are melv.in and melvin.blog (after ICANN made it available sometime in 2016).

Even if there is, that wouldn’t prevent people from buying the newest and most hyped smartphone in the coming years. And of course, the word ‘perfect’ varies depending on how someone uses his smartphone or how he values certain aspects of it. That being said I thought it’d be pretty fun … Continue reading The Perfect Smartphone →
