I just read CNN’s Article on domain name real estate. It’s like the gold rush. People are buying domain names and selling them. Some sell for millions of dollars. Industry’s market value could reach $4 billion by 2010.

When CNN interviewed Ari Goldberger he said “Dot-com is king, dot-net is worthless.”

All my hopes for this site just went down the toilet.

Glenn’s been blogging for a year:

July 22nd, 2006 stated the opening of this blog. Since then, I’ve published 270+ articles, collecting 4,641+ comments. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many new people, creating so many new friendships, and further developing my writing in a community atmosphere.

Shuffle Songs –

In all the days I’ve owned my iPod I’ve never once just shuffled all songs and let it go. After Dave Caolo mentioned that’s all he ever does I decided to try yesterday at the airport; and while my flight was delayed I rediscovered my entire music collection.

I’m hooked.

There is now a Fake Gruber.

Because The Gruber has spoken, and everything else is commentary.

Minus the wit of the real Gruber and the class of the poor man’s Gruber.

The all-new action comedy Get Smart –

Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.

I used to watch this show on Nick at Night all the time when I was a kid. Alas the movie is still 11 months away and has Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a key role.

I wonder what his shoe phone will look like.

Ben Gray is stepping up his game

Following in the footsteps of what Jennifer Garrett did 2 years ago, I’ve decided to read and write a review on 100 blogs in 100 days.

Clear your calendars until October 24th.

Mike Davidson –

I’ve written about e-mail overload issues in the past, and today I’m presenting what I believe is a simple, low-fi solution: sentenc.es.

I am adding a link to five.sentenc.es in my email signature for 7 days as an experiment.

UPDATE: The first response to the sentenc.es link – “I read your tag – you wouldn’t believe this email I have that’s so long I have been waiting years to reply to it. It’s like twenty pages and I keep meaning to . . . argh!”

Matt M. responds to a question about people who steal designs and code.

Though the freedom intrinsic in the GPL that has allowed people to abuse WordPress it has allowed even more people to do amazing things and over time the good far, far outweighs the bad.

If you use WordPress you should read this. Heck, if you don’t use it you should still read it.

Happy Birthday to “The most watched TV star in the world.”

Chris Lester from the Kansas City star gives his two cents on Steve Jobs and the iPhone:

Jobs’ iPod has become the ubiquitous doohickey of the modern age, so hip and seemingly essential for the gadget crowd that it has become a cultural cliche in just a few short years. […] The iPhone…might, in fact, be the way of the future.

Did he say doohicky?

If you’re one of the people who think that a multi-touch monitor is a good idea, try this little experiment: touch the top and bottom of your display repeatedly for five minutes. Unless you’re able to beat the governor of California in an arm wrestling match, you’ll give up well before that time limit. […] The bottom line is that we’ve only just begun a journey that will fundamentally change the way we interact with machines

I love furbo.org because Craig actually knows what he’s talking about.

Greg Storey has a great idea –

If you have a minute take a photo of how you normally digest my attempts molding the English language into sentences and if the response is decent I’ll whip something up for us all to take a look at.

I sent in something.
