Design URLs

Design Observer is not just a name we stumbled upon: we searched hi and low. Delineator was not available, nor was untitled. The Velocity of Modern Life sounded too, well, too obvious and far afield. As a service to our readers over the holidays, here is a list of the twenty URLs we found to be available, and more interestingly, the close to one hundred URLs we found to be taken. Perhaps someone will find a name for their own blog of design criticism. Or, perhaps someone will see a pattern in the etymology of the names already taken. In any event, happy holidays.
