I ride for domains, I ride for clean water but mostly, I ride for me
(January 31, 2010)Sunday morning David Clements and I went on a bicycle ride. Our journey will take us from Atlanta to New Orleans for Domainer Mardigras.

Did DOMAINfest Just Set the Bar for Domain Conferences?
(January 31, 2010)Reviewing last week’s DOMAINfest conference. For many years, DOMAINfest has attracted the largest crowd of all domain conferences.

Why the iPad is Bad for Domainers
(January 30, 2010)iPad means more web users will circumvent web addresses to get information online. It wasn’t a question of whether or not Apple would release a tablet computer this past week. It was only a question of the specs and name. What we’re left with is a device called iPad that is basically a big [...]
DotWeekly.com Adds A Domain Name Resource Center
(January 30, 2010)For the past couple of days (years really) I have been working on a "Resource Center" right on DotWeekly.com using the archives from the site.

(January 30, 2010)Update: It appears the Serious.com domain name was renewed by the past owner before the auction finished and the renewal time ran out! The biding was up to $18,005 before Godaddy removed the auction due to the redemption renewal by the past owner. The domain name Serious.com has reached expired status and has been sent [...]
WHAT DOMAINERS WANT – ADD YOURS
(January 30, 2010)I thought this would be a nice little “summary” of what I hear from my domainer friends, clients and associates on what they would like to see in the year 2010: 1) No runaway prices on domain registrations. Currently, it seems ICANN is going against the current recession, allowing Verisign to raise prices on .com extensions. [...]
