I’m always coming up with “stupid” ideas. Here’s one.
On Saturday evening, we went to a friend’s graduation party.
At a birthday party every one sings Happy Birthday to You. But what do you sing for a graduation party?
You could sing “She’s a Jolly Good Fellow”. But that’s too generic.
Someone needs to come up […]

I submitted two domains to be auctioned off at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. NYC. Unfortunately my names didn’t make the cut. I’m hoping it was just because I submitted my domains after 5PM on the last day of the deadline. Go here to get a spreadsheet containing the 3000+ domains up for auction.

RailsEnvy has created some really funny “Hi, I’m Ruby on Rails” commercials, comparing Rails to different web frameworks. (I first saw this at Digg.)
Here’s the first one.

Here’s the third one.
For the record, I like BOTH Rails and PHP…

Tonight I kept an eye on the switchblades.com auction on ebay. With 15 minutes left to go, the bid was only up to $600 or so. I turned on the Survivor finale and forgot about it. Later I checked and the bid was up to $10,300. But that wasn’t enough to […]

On our way to visit Baton Rouge this weekend I saw the following domain name on a billboard:
www.CoushattaCasinoResort.com
(Coushatta is a casino is Kinder Louisiana, BTW)
This 21 letter domain (not including the WWW and the COM), looks SOOOO long when displayed on a billboard.
The word Coushatta is hard enough to spell. How do […]
