Domain Squatting

There was an interesting blog about domain squatting that I read on politicsandtechnology.com called The folly of speculative domain squatting.
People just buy up domain names that they believe will be popular and then later on try to sell them for more on sites like ebay etc. Many times people don't turn huge profit buying this. So why would people want to do it? Does anyone have any ideas?

Babies and Television

I was observing my cousins kid watching television the last couple days, and I noticed something funny. He is one and half and he can't sit still unless certain shows are on television. Any adult TV doesn't interest him.

the shows he watches are:
The club house mickey show
Handy Manny
Dora
Phineas and Ferb

I found it really interesting that he only likes children shows because I don't know how many kids will just watch any television. There must be something about these shows that draw his attention. It's good though to see a kid only watch a little bit of television a day though.

Bloggers getting paid?

General survey...

Do you think certain bloggers should get paid to blog?



My answer: No because I just feel blogging is a way to express what you are thinking or feeling or to tell a story about something on you're mind. I am open to others opinions though my judgement isn't rock solid.

Xbox 360

I love how so many Xbox 360's have had the "ring of death". The ring of death is three flashing red lights on the system where it usually falshes gree. This error is usually due to code errors or hardwar failure. In the first couple months when the Xbox was first released there were numerous cases of this error happening. It still happens today even though it seems less frequently with the newer Xbox's being distributed. Though many system errors happen when a new system is released. I honestly believe it is because the companies are so eager to get their product out as fast as they can to please the publics demand, but most times its at a cost. I think if companies took a little more time on their product it would be worth the wait.

Class Online

I enjoyed having class in chat. I felt it was easier for me to talk and I know I said more than I do in class. It seemed like we got alot discussed.

What did everyone else thing?

Livenation

Livenation is a great site to get tickets from. My boyfriend and I got out tickets for the upcoming Paramore / No Doubt Summer Tour on it the day (actually the moment) they went on sale. The site is easy to use, and the ticket delivery usually delivers faster than the estimated time. I have never had a problem with livenation or even ticketmaster. I don't know if anyone else has or not. I go to alot of concerts so those sites are my life line to my concert life. I'm a major music junkie.

I cannot wait to go to this concert. I'm not as big a fan of No Doubt, but the only reason I really am going is to see Paramore (it will be my fourth time seeing them) my favorite band in the world. I pretty much idolize Hayley Williams (the lead singer) its hard to find a female vocalist with a voice like hers in my genre of music. What's even more incredible is that she is a month younger than me, and they started when she was only 16 and the drummer Zac Farro (the youngest member) was 14. It's nuts how they have traveled the world and seen so much at such young ages.
