I'll skip the intro, about the brilliant sound engineering on the debut album by Bree: All American Girl. I won't even mention that David J. Castello is hitting those drums with sheer percussionist magic. Somehow, I will attempt to forget that Bree is often playing a flying-V guitar, a visual I haven't seen since the late 80's. Lastly, I'll pretend I won't be noticing Bree's ultra-feminine 1950's pinup looks, so that I'll be focusing on the music 100%. The Nashville sound is all there, mixed with Rock 'n' Roll, to close your eyes and immerse your very soul into; the rhythm, the emotion, the rhyme. Maybe I'm an aging fool that longs to listen to some quality rock'n'roll, and fuck me, this is it: pure, unadulterated Rock you want to shake your ass to. There are eleven … [Continue reading]
Domain offers: One thing that GoDaddy does right
After moving my entire portfolio away from Sedo in October of last year, I finally stopped receiving those lowball $60 queries via the GoDaddy TDNAM. No hard feelings; Internet Traffic pays more for parked domains, and offers a multitude of tools to maximize your domain sales ROI.

Game of bureaucracy thrones: ICANN, GoDaddy & Pacnames and a stolen domain saga
The process of reclaiming stolen domain names isn't easy; the main culprit appears to be the lack of a solid process that would handle such cases. With ICANN rolling out dozens of new gTLDs, it's important to ensure not only the security of the new domain names that will emerge, but to improve and streamline the process for existing TLDs. Mr. Robert Biles, a lawyer and partner with a British law firm, had no idea about the amount of work involved, in order to reclaim his stolen asset, WTD.com. After I provided the information regarding the method that the thief used to take control of the domain, Mr. Biles faced the bureaucracy, ineptitude or complete lack of action by the key authorities involved in the domain theft. Says Mr. Biles: I realised that access to the domain name … [Continue reading]
Blast from the distant past: Network Solutions and domain security
It's been almost five years since I released some information on domain security, as implemented by Network Solutions in the past; those were the days that domain registration was a monopoly. In a … [Continue reading]
