I’ve been up since three, drinking coffee and jonesin’ for a smoke, with Nickelback cranked up so loud that my lady came in and made me turn it down, working on a project for someone who has difficulties with basic concepts, like time zones. But he pays well -in cash.

Reporting from the DLD
David from the Wild Wild East Dailies got a shot at reporting on the DLD (Digital, Life, Design) in Munich, Germany for Technorati.
I must say I’m terribly disappointed. He promised us gonzo and gave us Pollyanna. –I wasn’t sure if I should fall asleep or hug my computer.

Amazon Delivery

Domain Name Fun
Do you have an idea for a domain name and do you want to disguise what country you’re in?
A Taiwanese .tw tld is available through Webnic. –The price is only $24 per year.
If you want a Japanese tld, the .jp requires you live in Japan. (WebNIC can provide partners the local contact service in [...]

What You Don’t Want to See in Your Store Parking Lot
I shot this with my FlipHD on the way home.
The intersection of Flamingo and Boulder, a little after 8pm.
The capture doesn’t do the situation justice. –I didn’t see any smoke or flames, just bunches of flashing lights, but it looked like every firetruck in Las Vegas was in that lot.
