Boycot Godaddy stop SOPA

Stop American Censorship
Congress is about to pass internet censorship, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed.
stop SOPA to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity.

One of the companies in favor of this bill is Godaddy.com. Although they later withdrew their support I encourage everybody to boycott Godaddy.com and just like me transfer your domain registrations to one of the following:

Another reason to boycott Godaddy is that owner and CEO Bob Parsons triggered controversy after posting an Internet video chronicling his elephant slaying during a trip to Zimbabwe. Check out the facts on Facebook or watch it on YouTube.

Steve’s Jobs

Erik van Berkum — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:06:05 +0000

Steve’s words are inspiring. Steve Jobs was—and will long remain—an inspiration for so many. Good bye, Sensei. We miss you.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

IPV6 ready

Erik van Berkum — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 02:46:42 +0000

Today about 1% of Internet surfers can’t get to my site. These surfers are on an IPv6-only network and their entire Internet universe consists of only about 6,000 websites. To put that in perspective, that’s like the Internet circa 1996. The other 99% of Internet surfers use the IPv4 network and can get to your site no problem since it running on IPv4 infrastructure. But the number of IPv4 addresses is running out, and the 1% of visitors on IPv6 will soon be 2% and eventually most new web surfers will only have IPv6. That means before long, if something doesn’t change, most surfers on the web won’t be able to see my site.

That seemed like a really gloomy outcome so i spend a little time to setup my IPV6 records in my dns records of Cloudflare.

Personal Branding Every Day more important

Personal branding, by definition, is the process by which we market ourselves to others. As a brand, we can leverage the same strategies that make celebrities or corporate brands appeal to others. We can build brand equity just like them. To built my own personal brand my wife created an avatar for me.

Nintendo games for Toddlers and Babies

Erik van Berkum — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 03:11:14 +0000

Two years ago I wrote I have 3 daughters and we had 1 Nintendo for the middle one 7 years, at that time two years and 4 months old daughter all the time wanted to play with the Nintendo DSi, until the moment I thought enough I have to buy another one. I was amazed how many hours she spend on the Nintendo and the patience she had to succeed, the first games she played were the mini games from the Super Mario Bros game.

Now they are both still playing enthusiastically their first Nintendo I am still amazed by the durability of the game console. I made an update to the games they are playing.

An important factor for them is that their is not much text and reading to do in the Nintendo game since the youngest is not able to read.
