New alternate emoji domain

This is not really security related, but it’s a bit of fun so I wrote a quick post.

I had heard that emoji domains are available from select TLDs, so I decided to buy one! I am now the proud owner of 💻โ˜ .ws, which mirrors this site.

Now, if you go to grobinson.me and your browser supports emoji domains without displaying the punycode translation (xn--h4h3030o.ws) in the address bar, you will be redirected to the same page on 💻โ˜ .ws thanks to this little piece of javascript.

Check your address bar now. You may already using the emoji domain without even knowing.
