Greatness in our Everyday

Greatness in our Everyday

Thinking about the domain name business and the Butterfly effect I mentioned in a recent post, I was left wondering what would have happened if I had never found this space.

Friday nights are movie night at my place. Life in the Cayman Islands doesn’t offer that much cinema selection, so I built a really kick-ass theater in the house. Imagine feather stuffed sofas, suede paneled walls, muti-tiered wood ceiling, a monster-ass Capiz shell chandelier and the Panasonic 103. Tonight’s viewing selection consisted of “Hot Tub [...]

The World Changes But Domain Names Stay The Same

Hello again and happy summer holidays (July 4th, Bastille Day, Canada Day) to all my friends. There’s been a great deal of change in the world since I wrote my last blog post.  By way of a rewind, my blog became pretty popular for a time and it became all consuming, so I had to [...]

Domain Names, New and Old – Everybody Sells

What does a guy who is well known for “not selling domains” know about selling domain names?  Well I might just know a thing or two.  As the title of this post states:  Everybody sells. It doesn’t matter whether you’re selling cars, homes, financial instruments, religion..  everyone sells something.  Some of us are hard-sell : [...]

My Kingdom for An Eyeball

What a world we live in..  and what a great deal a man (or woman) can learn in a month away from the blog-sphere.. Deals announced, partnerships strategized and all roads lead to the ability to reach our fellow-man.   I’ve been traveling for family issues (nothing serious folks) over the past month –  I’ve been [...]
