TGIF! Here we go with the 2nd cartoonized photo in the “Friday Funnies” series. This time, it’s about food at domain conferences. For the price of the ticket, it’d better be good! And it is – no complaints. But some vendors or attendants should watch their diet – or poke a couple of extra notches to their belts!
Things get too serious sometimes. In order to instill some fun into the serious business of domains, I’m starting the “Friday Funnies” section.
Each Friday, a cartoonized photo will attempt to deliver some humor without – hopefully – hurting the feelings of those it depicts. 
Today’s “Friday Funny” is about social media “wars” and two well-known personalities, Frank Schilling and Rick Schwartz.
When I bought Acro.net on eBay for about $180 – a bargain for a 4-letter, 12 year old domain with a 4-million Google keyword – I hadn’t thought of using it as my blogging site. In fact, I hadn’t thought of the blogging process as much more than a platform to vent off. A year and more than 50 posts later, I can honestly say that it was a great decision to “sacrifice” a quality name and share with the world my thoughts, experiences and ideas about technology, social issues and doing business in the domain industry.
Other than being a shortened version of my business name, Acroplex.com, “Acro” serves as my nickname on various technology forums I frequent, such as DNForum.com and it allows me to express my viewpoints using my distinct discussion style – sometimes outspoken or sarcastic.
For the most part, my blogging subjects are not related to news; I am not blogging about recent sales or happenings. There are plenty of blogs out there to track and report on these. I’m here to analyze today’s world and society and to offer insight on subjects that I have personally lived through or that I have established an opinion or philosophy about. I want to offer substance and information that can be of value. This way, I keep things interesting and hopefully my readers do not get bored!

There are two distinct species of predatory fish, swimming in the seemingly calm waters of Domaining: the domain hustlers and the sharks. At least, that’s what my gut feeling tells me – and I am partial to my gut since about forty years ago.
In the coming days and weeks I will attempt to lay out the intricacies of the domain pool, a world infested by known and unknown species, despised by the media and promoted by the industry itself – out of desperation and resourcefulness. A universe so dense, that sometimes light does not escape the depths of its abyss. Knowledge is power and sharing it makes a few of us feel considerably better – and the sharks & hustlers become less dangerous.
This is my technology ranting blog and I am here to tell it like it is. Stay tuned!
