Taking a page from the domain cybersquatter playbook, I registered typos of my name, Anthon -- because the 'h' is silent. But rather than a simple redirect or creating a CNAME, I threw up some single page web sites, ala Wikipedia dab pages: Anton Pang.com and Anton Pang.ca. I also embedded a little analytics tracking code, so I could gauge the utility (or futility, as the case may be) of this exercise. (The self-deprecating reference to typo-squatting is in jest.)

I can't say this was a welcome/needed distraction, given everything else on my plate, but this was "low hanging fruit", so to speak, and I needed to feel like I accomplished something today.
