The folks at Smashing Mag very kindly mention Domainr in their post about finding, registering and managing domains:
The popular Domainr service comes as easy and clean as it gets. They call themselves a “domain name search engine” and solely focus on the domain search experience. Searching for a domain name is very intuitive and fast indeed. If you found a name you can choose from a list of registrars where you can register the respective domain. Apart from the standard .COM, .NET & .ORG domains, Domainr’s strength is surely the ability to find domain hacks with exotic country code top-level domain extensions e.g. burri.to (.TO - Tonga), lifestrea.ms (.MS - Montserrat) or cli.gs (South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands). Domainr makes the domain search process fun and is probably the easiest tool to find creative domain names in 2009. We're deeply honored—thanks for the kind words!
I found this site via SmashingMag. I love this utility, especially the links to registrars for the ccTLDs.
Thanks!

Domai.nr is my checker of choice these days. In my flickr screenshots you can see its permanent location on my bookmarks bar.
