The Consequences of doing stuff

The 12 year old living in our house was complaining about homework this morning.
He was questioning the validity of homework and the fact that he's struggling to keep up and is now overwhelmed by the backlog of work. This is after only the first week of school!

In a 2 page article (in the print edition) entitled “A .Co Kickoff For Godaddy” talked extensive about the .Co extension, Godaddy and domain names.

Love to see domain names on the front page of one of the highest circulated newspapers in the US.

There might be some money in buying and selling web properties

ByMe.com Attracts $29,000 Domain Sale
http://www.dotweekly.com/byme-com-attracts-29000-domain-sale

ByMe.com, a nice 4 letter domain name that is a combination of two words, attracted the highest reported sale over at Sedo so far today. ByMe.com sold for $29,000 USD. ByMe.com was owned by MarkLark, LLC and Register.it is currently the registrant on file. Very nice and unique 4 letter domain and I can see why it attracted the price that it sold for!
