With domain names I think one of Aaron's points is that a new pizza site would be better off spending money to buy an existing domain that's easy to remember than they would be to try to come up with some really long domain. I think too if you're creative enough you can still find a reasonably short domain that includes the word pizza. I agree though, that they become harder to find every day.
I still wonder about the effects of valid code. I try to validate all my code, but other than the show stoppers, I'm not sure search engines care that much. Most of their pages don't validate and I think they're more interested in the content itself than the code. Validating isn't going to hurt at all and I do think there are other reasons why it makes sense to write valid code.
What part of CO were you from Roy? You can see I'm in Boulder now, though I'm originally from New York.
