  • Expired Domains

    DomainsBot – Daily Expired Domains. Was on the plane with an Internet online expert. He told me about all these sites that regularly sweep for expired domain names.

  • Wireless interesting stuff

    Had a chance to hang out in sunny San Diego to day. A few interesting notes: * BREW Today. Fun to visit with the our buddies at Qualcomm. They have a one pager site that gives BREW status. * “Flo”:http://www.qualcomm.com/press/releases/2004/041101_mediaflo_700mhz.html. A very interesting thing they are doing to provide a nationwide network on 700MHz for…

  • UCDSChess going away

    XM vs. the iPod – Will XM’s new portable satellite radio make the iPod obsolete? By Paul Boutin. Lots of iPod rumors floating around.

  • Oakley Pro M

    Well, I have now run over both pairs of my Rudy Project Tayo sunglasses. Both freak accidents, but good thing I have an Oakley Pro M still. But I’ll need another a clear lense set. I loved the Rudy Project Tayo’s by the way, but the Pro Ms are so incredibly clear all the way…

  • Spam Spammers

    Lycos Screensaver Tackles Spam Wesites – PCStats.com. What a great idea, spammers get hit with denial of service attacks by those they are attacking. Basically, the new Lycos screensaver doesn’t just block spammers, but pings them like crazy. I love it!

  • Pentium 4-560 Thermal Problems
