Watching the news this morning it was hard not to feel bad for our friends the Greeks. Yes, their leaders made some unwise choices. Perhaps they don’t work the same hours, or with the same zeal as their Northern neighbors. Too many Greek countrymen work for their government, effectively draining the public coffers rather than [...]

There Are No Accidents
It’s been a while since I posted on my blog. “There are no accidents” as the wise Turtle in Kung-fu Panda once said. That statement is true of my most recent hiatus from this blog as much as it is of other serendipitous happenings in my life. When I’m blogging, I’m not innovating. Blogging is [...]
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. What would I have done for a living? There were people I encountered early in the domain-world who clearly inspired me to participate. Without [...]

Hot Tub Time Machine
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 [...]
BLACK GOLD

The ERROR is in the Details
Greetings from Malibu. No matter how bad things get in the local economy the surf and sand and birds and trees always look the same. It’s much colder this year.. very chilly. A fitting metaphor for the difficult economic times this state finds itself in. I first came to Malibu as a teenager from Canada [...]
Domain Distribution Vacuum
Greetings from France. I’m a US centric guy so I never thought I’d be writing from France, let alone gushing about how enjoyable it is to be among the French people in the summer. They really have a great panache and a style and it’s neat to hang out where everyone tries hard to be [...]
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 [...]
