Greatness in our Everyday (Nov 16, 2010)

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 (Sep 26, 2010)

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 (Sep 01, 2010)

I am lucky on so many levels.  Not only in business, but I get to share my thoughts and opinions with those who care to know them; and some do.  I certainly never thought I’d write a blog.  Long before blogs the best outlet for venting of ideas was a magazine or periodical which might let [...]

The ERROR is in the Details (Aug 12, 2010)

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 (Jul 22, 2010)

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 (Jul 03, 2010)

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 [...]

Name Media – Post Announcement Pontificating (Nov 04, 2007)

The Financier writes: “”I am neither here nor there with my opinion on NAME as an investment. This is really one that you would have to base on the quality of all of their domain assets (they’ve sold a ton of the good stuff and a lot of the remainder is priced at “wish we [...]

How Much is a Click Worth If That Click Sells a 50 million Dollar Airplane? (Nov 01, 2007)

http://www.conceptualist.com/?p=618 Sahar talks about Elliot’s interview with Rick Schwartz, and subsequently talks about how development of funeralhomes.com has changed what was once a 10 cent click on a parked page, to a $10,000 sale of funeral services. From the bottom of Sahar’s post: Quote: “We see that every single day with FuneralHomes.com. A click that [...]

You Vill Giv me Ein Job – Und You Vill Like It. (Nov 01, 2007)

Both Danno and Josh send this one ..  I’m sure you’ve all seen it already, but here is how “not” to be a domainer : German job-seeker holds Google domains hostage http://valleywag.com/tech/careers/german-job+seeker-holds-google-domains-hostage-317158.php
