My Previous Post…

Alcohol and Blogging

My previous post attempting to defend my sister’s honor is a good example of why there should be breathalyzers on computers.  Google has a feature in gmail called Mail Goggles that prevents you from sending stupid things via email when you are annebriated.  I wonder if theres a Wordpress plugin…
In other news, I [...]


Google Voice Is Nothing Short of Incredible

I like to consider myself fairly savvy as far as gadgets and technology is concerned.  It takes a lot to impress me and I rarely find something that makes me say “Wow!”
Google Voice did just that.  I’m sure everyone has heard by now that Grand Central was purchased by Google.  Recently Google decided to transfer/upgrade [...]

New Ways To Get Phished

I have a really old three character aol screen name.  For some reason, three character screen names are desirable to teenage kids that sit at their computers all day and want to be “hackers.”  They try to find different ways to steal screen names that they want using “spoof” pages, or phishing attacks.  Why do [...]


Transfering Websites To a New Hosting Service

I’m in the process of transfering ALL of my websites to a new hosting service and it is incredibly lame.  Hostgator wouldn’t do it for me since I’m transfering from one Hostgator account to another Hostgator account.  Ugh!!  So I’m taking a break right now.  Maybe I’ll take an extended break.
I very seriously hope I [...]


Using eBay To Find Domain Names

I guess you can use eBay to find anything really but any time I spend on it is usually to find domain names.  There is a ton of crap that one must sift through when searching for anything on eBay.  Learn to use the Advanced Search Options that eBay offers.  As far as searching for [...]

301 Redirects

The Internet and Your Privacy

The issue of privacy is always coming up where the Internet is concerned.  Most times, if you interact on the world wide web at all, there is a good chance you can be found by someone looking for information on you.
I read an article that touches on how easy it is to find information on [...]

Using Recommission To Find Expired Domain Names

In the interest of transparency, I would let the readers of this article know that I have an interest in the topic of the following article. Other than being a regular user of Recommission’s system, I am related to the Owner/Operator of the Site. He’s my brother.
Every morning, before I head off to [...]


Update On Trademarked Domain Name

I have transferred all of my files from my LEGO domain name to a new domain that I just registered that now includes the word “Bricks” instead of “LEGO” so as not to violate LEGO’s trademark rights.  I had a bit of help from Dave over at the Build a Niche Store Blog with this.  [...]


Domain Names and Registered Trademarks

I have been using the BANS (Build a Niche Store) system for about three months now and, as I’ve said before, it’s an exciting affiliate marketing tool.
One of my BANS sites is a niche that involves Lego sets and has the word ‘’LEGO” in the domain name.  I have been purchasing domain names for two [...]
