In 2004 I was on GreatDomains.com, looking through their list of names and just clicked on loco.com and bought it for $15,000. I hadn't negotiated and it wasn't an auction. It was there for all to see and anyone to buy. It was right on their homepage. A year or so later I sold that [...]

If adult names bother you, leave. It's a real part of our business and we are actually very happy to have the opportunity to perform an auction at The Phoenix Forum. The Phoenix Forum is larger than Internext. This is the biggest show of the year. We hope everyone will be happy with this list. [...]

There may be a few changes made to this inventory by not many. Descriptions and the order of the inventory will be published over the weekend. I apologize for the ugly formatting of this post. The official post will look much better. I wanted everyone to see it before they went home for the day. [...]
It’s been just shy of two weeks since we launched ccTLDs.com and in that time, I’ve learned many things that I didn’t already know. You have to love the value of having a community of experts. So far, there has been no real drama on the board and the members have all been very helpful [...]

After a week at Disney I'm glad to be home. It was fun though. One thing is for sure, The Walt Disney Company got plenty of my family's hard earned money. With the main resort hotels fully booked and 45 minute or more wait times for the major rides, it is hard to imagine they [...]

Personally, I'm a fan of the long-term value of internationalized domain names or IDNs. While I would rarely pay much for a name now on the wholesale market, I can certainly see them only going up in value as the consumers get used to the idea. When I talk with my friends in Japan, they [...]

By now it should be obvious I'm doing everything I can to promote ccTLDs to the market at large. If there is something I'm not doing, it's only because I haven't thought of it yet. It isn't for a lack of effort or willingness. The new forum should help focus the discussion on these topics. [...]
