I’m been running a business (or helping run) for the last 15 plus years. My viewpoints are different than many others but here are 10 things I’d thought I’d share that I’ve noticed in the last few years. 1. In the US the “baby boomers” are the biggest portion of our population and they are getting old. They are in their mid 60′s and they are a special category. They expect full service and cheap prices. They are a tough demographic to make happy but there is big money to be made in the areas they HAVE to have, especially … FULL ARTICLE »

Throughout each week I’m going to look over the lists of websites for sale over at Flippa (who is selling $750K worth of websites a week so there is a big market) and other auction sites and come up with a few worth looking in to. There are a lot of new, “made to flip” websites that make up the majority of the sites but within there are always a few that present possible … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Pretty good day today for domain pickups. I will be putting in a couple bids for myself today. I have been more of a buyer than a seller lately but that’s only because I think its a great time to sell. I think dot coms go up from here but nothing wrong with taking a little profit now and then. I’ll be putting it right back in to domains minus a few personal splurges here and there. Here is today’s list. SimplyDelicious.comAlready fetching a nice price but understandable considering the branding possibilities KOL.orgI am still made Kings of Leon had … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Had a great day yesterday. Nursery was packed and my daughter’s school won the Middle School State Championship in track and field. I always felt that winning a few state championships when I was younger was a key to my developing a little confidence and realization that if you keep trying to get better, you may achieve greatness at some point. Her team is great. What’s even more amazing is that all but two girls come back next year to try it again and from the second they won, they were talking about training all summer to try and do … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned. I mentioned yesterday I was going to take the day off and enjoy the State Championships in Track for Middle School and it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful day with some great competition and most importantly my daughter had a great time. I also got to see a performance that may stay in the record books. There is a young lady named Anna Sophia Keller that is a straight up phenom. She is a 7th grader who has won the Cross Country state championship 2 years in a row (easily) and had won the last … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Things like this don’t surprise me any more but I still have to shake my head. I was doing my daily run through of the expiring auctions at Godaddy and noticed two domains that looked familiar. Wuby and Vuby.com. They were two names that I sold at auction to the same person on Sedo in 2010. Evidently he lost track of his purchases and forgot to renew them at which Godaddy takes over and puts them up for auction. I actually could care less that they expired except for one thing. Vuby.com sold for more than twice what I … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Ahhhhh. My first day off of the year. It feels so good. I needed a battery recharge and it was obvious in these posts. The links were messed up and sloppy. But when you are writing them while falling asleep, mistakes are bound to happen. My daughter is in the track state championships today and tomorrow. I’m proud she’s in them as a 6th grader (she’s in for pole vault and a few other events) but she’s competing against girls two grades higher so it should be a day of setting new goals rather than accomplishing them. Now on to … FULL ARTICLE »
Read More »Of course I have to chime in on the beatdown of Juan Calle and dot co regarding the video of the LeWeb “Couldn’t get the dot com so I’ll take the dot co” story. Let’s start at the very beginning. Columbia could have easily been dot .col to keep it from being confused or from being a typo. It wasn’t, and from day one drew the typo lovers right out of the gate. Negativity from the get go in the footsteps of the dot cm disaster. Along come the dot co team and does an excellent job marketing the name … FULL ARTICLE »

Read More »I’m looking for a new tool to search the drops if anyone wants to point me in the right direction. If you are the owner or creator I think I would be a good person to team up with to promote the site. There are a lot of tools out there but most don’t have the search functions I’m looking for. Hell, if you get right down to it I’d love someone to build me a tool that does all the things I need to search for. Enough about my problems, here are today’s names. Covets.com Just don’t covet the … FULL ARTICLE »
