  1. @maddox congratulations!!
  2. @mwalters haha
  3. @sljesq @farmerrussell we are the 44%!
  4. every time I see a URL still with ".asp" in it, I smile a bit.
  5. @chairmanbrando that was my thinking. it would be interesting to see what it would go for somewhere like sedo.com
  6. the "statefair.com" domain name just sold at auction for $50,000 ... will be interesting to see what the buyer does with it.
  7. ...as in, that is what the bidding is at, not that I'm placing a bid at that amount
  8. Bidding on "statefair.com" now at $10,250 with just 10 minutes to go... a bit more than what my bidding limit was!
  9. @FarmerRussell Congratulations!
  10. The online bidding for "statefair.com" has entered the final 30 minutes at over $3K
  11. on the subject of cool scrolling web-mags RT @EditsQuarterly: Edits Issue 2 publishes soon. cbus.se/KPgqRS (cc: @leecostic)
  12. a process designed to protect people's confidential participation & then has someone non-BCC all participants makes for interesting reading
  13. @WiFi_Pirate oh I didn't mean for you to put your /good/ whiskey in there. I keep a bottle for mixing, and a bottle for sipping.
  14. @WiFi_Pirate you need to put more Whiskey in your Ginger Ale then.
  15. more scrolling web-mag goodness! RT @leecostic: @busse Also see this (referenced by Eephus creator as inspiration) cbus.se/LEqa6W
  16. @OneFineJay you're welcome. IIRC, that book also discusses the social stratification b/w different Protestant sects. it's a good read.
  17. @OneFineJay you are looking for book suggestions? Check out The Americans: The Colonial Experience by Daniel Boorstin amazon.com/gp/aw/d/039470…
