I don't know, maybe it's poetic justice or just karma that Amazon should report disappointing results tonight with earnings well below estimates. Why? After I was labeled a cheater and was terminated from the Amazon Associates program, I had hoped for a little payback. I certainly did my part by vowing never to buy anything — Continue reading »
The Older Chrome Browser
📆 March 2, 2010
I love how the 1&1 login page depicts my Chrome browser as "older browser version". Ironically my Chrome version is the Dev channel. Can't get much newer than that 🙂 chrome browser,1&1 — Continue reading »
Network Solutions Domain Renewals
📆 December 13, 2009
I don't know if Network Solutions (netsol) is anymore the biggest domain registrar on the Internet. That title may now belong to GoDaddy. But one thing is for certain, Network Solutions seems desperate. Ok, just saw this on domain registrars and now it's clear. The other day I called Network Solutions after having trouble taking — Continue reading »
Cloud Computing Pitfalls
📆 December 8, 2009
From a development standpoint, cloud computing is a flexible and elastic computing environment. Sort of a server with unbound resources capable of running infinite programs for infinite users, with infinite processing power, memory, storage, and bandwidth.

Online Radio and Traditional Media

From Pandora to Slacker
📆 September 23, 2009
So finally the 40-hour free listening limit per month on Pandora caught up with me. I had expected it already but still when it happened, I started to think about ways of wiggling out of paying the $1 for the remainder of the month or the $36 annual fee. It's not so much about the — Continue reading »
Mexico Top Level Domain (.MX)
📆 September 15, 2009
Today I happened to see that Go Daddy is offering the .mx TLD which happens to be assigned to Mexico. Based on what I read the .mx TLD had been restricted to addresses within Mexico up until recently and now they have decided to open it up for international registration - for $210 per year? — Continue reading »
