Today marks the completion of one month at my new job and it already feels like an eternity.  I have a new found respect for those of you who have mastered the art of balancing a full time job along with your domaining projects.  It's not easy!  These days it is important for me to

On Saturday, the Southern California Domaining Group had its sixth meetup.  The group met at Urth Cafe in Downtown, Los Angeles.  Urth Cafe provided us with a conference room which was perfect for our group.  In addition to this they waived the $150 conference room fee and really took care of us.  I want to

Are you ready for Monday's Morning Read?  This morning's read isn't actually an article and wasn't an item that I read this morning.  Confused?  Don't be, just know that this book showed up randomly to my door step.  I have to commend Tony Hsieh, for knowing that I wanted a copy of his book. Lucky me,

Two days ago I received an offer via Sedo for the domain name TownHomeInsurance.net, since I am a bit rusty when it comes to flipping domain names I contacted one of my domainer friends who tends to specialize in flipping and he promptly said send it to auction.  I'm glad he said this, because I

Do you remember the entry I wrote asking for domainers to spam me?  Well one domainer took it to an entirely new level.  Some of you may know Attila, he occasionally comments on this blog and is probably one of the funniest people that I never had the chance of meeting.  A week or so

It's an exciting time for those of us that live in Los Angeles, California.  Forget about the Hollywood scene and lets zone in on Downtown.  If you haven't heard, Los Angeles is home to the video gaming industries largest expo called the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).  The expo started today and runs until the 17th. In

Well not exactly, but I have to admit this is probably the next worst thing.  Notice how I didn't say best!  The Yahoo! check which arrived in the mail a few days ago is valid for 180 days.  This is great to know, now the only problem with this check is the fact that THE

Are 3D games the next big trend?  Sony not only believes this, they are moving forward with a PS3 3D game launch on Friday in the UK.  What has sparked this revolution?  Y0u know the answer to that and probably had the pleasure of watching it.  We don't mention the Avatar name around here, so

On June 7th I received an email from a potential domain buyer.  It was short, brief and too the point.  Right from the beginning I could tell that this person was serious in purchasing GroupBuyingScript.com a domain name that I registered after witnessing the group buying craze.  As with anything, if there is money in

I want to personally thank our new sponsor Domaining20.com!  They were nice enough to purchase a 125 x 125 sidebar banner position on the blog.  For those of you who have not heard about this site, feel free to read the following press release: Domaining 2.0 Launches One-Stop-Shop for News, Information and Analysis in the

Today, even though it was a slight overcast I decided to head over to a beach which is around 15 minutes from my house.  So where does the Linux book fit in?  Hold on, I will get to that!  As many of you know I have enjoyed running a business.  I have worn many hats

Chances are you haven't heard of yummy.com and until today I probably wouldn't of heard about it myself.  Today I had the urge to stay home and relax a bit, I decided to skip going to the office to take care of a few personal tasks that I had been overlooking for quite some time. 

Whether you are a new domainer or an industry veteran, registering a domain name can be similar to opening a gift during the holidays.  The element of surprise can be quite fulfilling.  As with gifts its the thought that counts and sometimes you find yourself returning an item that you just didn't need.  Your aunt

This is an experiment in itself.  As you may of noticed, I can be a bit of a work a holic.  I've decided to take it easy this weekend and work on my development projects at another time. This weekend is more about spending time remembering those who have served this country.  Regardless of how they

Are you ready for comic #21?!  Its been a long time, shouldn't of left you without a nice comic to…. Some of you will remember that old rhyme and some of you will scratch your head wondering what in the world I am talking about.  Whelp lets forget I even mentioned it and fast forward

Prepared to be entertained!  It doesn't happen often but today I spotted a domain name which made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!  It made me laugh so hard I had to tell some other people in the office what I was looking at.  Today's Laugh Out Loud eBay Thursday domain is BustyInmates.com and yes you heard

Warning global based domain names are bad for your health.  Just kidding, but I've gotta say that the word global is a bit redundant.  You hear this term over and over again.  What does global truly mean these days?  I almost feel it is a way for a company to spark a revolution of some

After picking up the latest Bloomberg Businessweek and reading about the problems surrounding the euro, I couldn't help but to think about how these issues could directly effect European country code top-level domain names.  There is and will always be a gray area within the domaining industry.  Sometimes this gray area benefits domainers and somet...

Many of us in the domaining industry make small costly mistakes, we find it easier to drop a domain name rather than renew. We quickly abandon projects which have potential, simply because of the renewal cost of a domain name. This industry is plagued by high renewal fees, which make it nearly impossible for the

I thought I heard it all here on the wonderful Internet, but a few days ago I experienced something new.  Apparently there are people that still fall for the same old scams which have been covered on the main stream news stations.  The scam I am speaking about is Cash Gifting and the person behind
