So the new domains have been out for a few months now. What are you using them for? I have seen a few cool ideas, like http://vart.institute and http://registered.today - this is what I'm looking for. Also general sentiment around expanding the internet namespace.

Why not just put a few HTML files on a server and achieve the same thing? I don't even notice any JavaScript on your site.
It certainly could use a bit more flair, I think. I chose to avoid that because the goal was to just have something tangible ready by the end of a weekend. I threw the site together while I was looking to switch jobs, so that I could at least say I have minimal experience with frontend MVC. I did end up getting hired elsewhere, so it fulfilled its purpose. Funny enough, we don't use frontend MVC frameworks at all here, but it was a cool learning experience nonetheless.
Family has farms... <family name>.farm has worked well for us so far. The TLD becomes a talking point that makes people remember it... "Oh, no .com at the end?" etc.
fun trick. buy your friends name in a new gTLD like frankjones.hiphop /build fun website on said domain/buy google adwords for friends name and direct to site. tell friend to google their name.
