The only reason I am writing this post is because I disagree with the sensationalist nature of the reporting going on and I own a few .ly domains. Perhaps you read Engadget or Techcrunch’s scarebait reporting of Ben Metcalfe’s post getting his .ly domain yanked. My 2 cents: When you register a .ly domain the rules in …

Last April when we announced we were rebranding and relaunching the Managed WordPress hosting system we developed in 2006 as Page.ly we did a survey of the market and found that while there were traditional hosting companies offering plans for WordPress users, no one else was offering the unique set of tools and security benefits we had …

I will out play you I will out run you I will out smart you I will out hustle you I will out work you. I will never give up I will never rest I will never settle I will never stop. I built the stadium I planted the grass I painted the lines I …
…and it is just getting started. The days are bleeding together. One day flows into the next and the religion of strong late morning coffee to drive away the fogginess of sleep depravation has claimed another late night as a convert.

Afterwards someone asked me if I felt it was a positive or negative not having the corporate experience. I …
I’ve led a short life.. but in all my 32 years I have learned something I wish to pass on to all of you. A simple technique to enjoy everyday; Don’t take yourself so seriously. For that matter don’t take others too seriously either. Sunny said once I was the youngest old guy he knows. …
I rant about big Pharma instilling fear in the weak and making them self diagnose their ailments. But there is a legitimate problem that some people face that there is no known cure or treatment for. Long Torso Syndrome affects men and women alike. They suffer in silence, weeping quietly as their exposed navels freeze …
Old Adage it is who you know and the circles you run in.. Saw this post and it started me thinking. We have had some conversations about seeking investment for our company page.ly, but are really too busy growing it to spend much time on it [raising capital]. We are profitable, acquiring new customers daily, …
SXSW was sic. Got a little refresher course in networking. And here is my take-away: Dont talk about business, or ask “So what do you do?”. It seems like a natural question.. you are at a business conference with lots of others from out-of-town. So asking what someone does or where they are from seems …
