Glaciers disappearing from Kilimanjaro - CNN.com headline, why it matters

Rick Latona — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:32:18 +0000

*In this image you can see how far back the glaciers were from the summit I was standing on. As I type this; there is an article headlining the home page of cnn.com. It’s titled “Glaciers disappearing from Kilimanjaro“. I can tell you that from my own experience, the guides on my journey had all said they [...]

You could own GolfClubs.com for $35,642.16

Rick Latona — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:24:26 +0000

Well, not really. However, the seller of this ultra-premium ecommerce name is willing to offer 5 years financing at the low rate of 7% per year with only the first payment down. That means, to qualified individuals, that you could secure this name for just $35,642.16. That would also be your payment for 60 months or [...]

Maybe the worst domain I’ve ever let expire

Rick Latona — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:22:01 +0000

First, I swear I didn’t register this name myself. My disdain for .mobi names has been well documented. It was part of a large portfolio of names that a customer had defaulted on. When I saw it in the pending expiration list I litterally laughed out loud. A mobile site about Amish furniture? Priceless.

We are happy to announce the launch of Kili2010.com, a website about our March 2010 climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. As previously written, a bunch of us are going to climb that big rock right before the Nairobi ICANN meeting. We are doing it for the exercise and experience but mostly to help bring clean water for those [...]

There’s no money in web design. AEIOU is getting out of the outsourcing business

Rick Latona — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:46:55 +0000

We were the first company to sell mini-sites so we might as well be the first company to stop selling them. The reality is there is no money in web design. It’s hard. The customers are hard to please. The margins are slim and frankly, there are bigger fish to fry. There are only so many things [...]

Please find our initial list of inventory for our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction. There may be room for a few great names that are priced to sell but for the most part we are capped. We’ve been working on getting bidders to the table for, in some cases, months. However, we had to wait for a lot of [...]

Quebec, a little-bit of Europe in North America

Rick Latona — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:51:01 +0000

I’ve spent the last 9 days in Quebec meeting with clients in Montreal and the surrounding area. I got to bring my family along as well which is always nice. My daughter gets a week off during October. I never got a week off during October. Quebec is really a gem of a province. [...]
