Site Idea

So in the never ending battle of trying to think of something new to write about during a brainstorming session I had an idea. What about having a section on the website that listed domains for sale. Probably right over there ——–>>>> in the sidebar. Not just random websites but sites that I own.  I currently own close to two dozen domain names. I’m somewhat of a domain hoarder I guess you could say. I love coming up with a good name and then hurriedly checking to see if it has already been registered. It’s as if I feel like someone else had the thought at the exact same time I did and we’re racing to see who can register it first. Sound familiar to anyone?

Like the word hurriedly for example. Just typing along in that last paragraph and the word hurriedly comes up. Damn, taken. Anyway a lot of those domains sit parked at NameDrive collecting 3¢ a month. In my opinion they are good names. Why am I not putting together a site or blog and monetizing the hell out of them? Damned laziness. That’s the only excuse I can come up with.

It will be pretty hard for me to part with them, so what I may do in the mean time is register some domains for the explicit purpose or reselling them. That sounds like a better way for me to ease into it. I’ll get this up and going over the next couple of weeks.



Test Post From iPhone 3G

As you can tell from the title I’m writing this post from an iPhone 3G. But, it’s not just any iPhone 3G, it’s MY new iPhone 3G. That’s right. I was finally able to get one of these bad boys. Better late than never. I’m I pretty big gadget guy but unfortunately my budget doesn’t always allow me to partake in the latest and greatest. The original iPhone was just too damned expensive, price drop or not. But when Steve announced the 3G I knew I had to get one as soon as AT&T would let me upgrade. That happened to be last Friday. I bought the 8GB black model. Piece of advice for those of you that don’t yet have one and are thinking about picking one up. Get the 8 gig. Several people that already had iPhones told me this because unless you need to have more than a couple of movies on it, you can use the app SimplifyMedia to stream your entire music collection from home. I will add some pictures later when I get home.

*update: Links added from home. Photos coming as soon as I take them.

*updateupdate: Done.

Just to mix things up a little bit so that it’s not all business all the time, how about a picture of my dog.
