I talk to some interesting people, but one of the more educational conversations I've had was with a confidence man/forger/defrauder/pimp who was getting ready to spend some time in prison. Apparently there's big money working parking lots around the Omaha area. 1) He'd wait in the parking lot...

I recently put up a new site that I'll be using as my personal blog. Why I didn't have a personal blog before, I don't know, but that's not important. What is important is that I'm going to be partially using that blog to address a question that I've been asked so many times that I'm...

Me: "2-A Super." Caller: "Hey man, staying out of trouble?" <---referring to my recent 3-day suspension Me: "Yeah, man, thanks for reminding me." Caller: "Hey, I meant to ask you, what was that website that you showed me, the one that helped you pick out those domain names?" Me: "Oh...

Rick Galusha, an ex-president of a local music retailer here in Omaha and the founder of a pro-retail organization, has written a column in our local paper bemoaning the lack of sales tax collection on online sales. Everyone has an angle. Homers, along with every other music retailer, was hit...

All for the same site. Banners are 300x250 and 468x60. Header logo is 350x100. PM me your rates and samples of grungy stuff you've done. Really looking for quality.

I've been wanting a Harley for as long as I can remember, but never had the cash in hand to pull the trigger on a purchase. Because business has been good, I should have the cash in late July for either a 2009 or 2010 Road King Classic. With the 09 stimulus bill, being able to write off...

From my hosting company: I'm obviously in the US. They're obviously in the UK. I would imagine that I'm covered under the 1st Amendment here. This is important information that the public should have. However, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Scotland Yard and don't necessarily...

is it a good idea? I have a dedicated server through LiquidWeb and have about 20 or so sites set up on that right now, with cPanel set up and Fantastico and so on. I'm questioning if it's a good idea to keep adding addon domains though, especially since I'm about to start up a project that'll...

I really need to figure out what the hell to do with the site in my sig. It's fun, it really is, but it's not pulling in much of anything. Between $100 and $200 a month. I think the best month I ever had was about $500 or so. So show me how and get paid. You put your links, etc, do...

Story Leon, the pot-smoking, cocaine-snorting, illegal immigrant with several different SS numbers, would like workers compensation for his injury suffered on the job, please. His brother Ivan, who is also in the US illegally, agrees. Thank you!

The wife and I are staying at the Michelangelo for a few nights, starting on the 27th and leaving on the 31st. If anyone is going to be in New York during that time and wants to go to dinner or something else write-offable, let me know. I prefer that you be clean and unarmed. We're going...

Maybe it's because I'm high on Piracetam right now, but I'm laughing:

For those of you who use sales contracts in your business, how have your contracts evolved from the time that you started using them to your current contract? Did you start with a template, customize it and get your lawyer to review the fine details? Did you just have your lawyer write up...

Former Husker finds his lost AFC championship ring after it's sent in to Cash4Gold. The 10-carat ring is valued at $3,000. I wonder how much C4G valued it at?

I love, love, love the entitlement mentality.

I have a co-worker who runs an Omaha private security company as a side business. The guy who owns the business is a great guy and a real pleasure to work with, so once I heard that he had paid a friend of his $350 for a website, I volunteered to take a look at it and give some of my opinions...

American Express paying customers to close their accounts I had my credit limit dropped by 2/3. I maintained a balance about 1/3 my total limit. I used the Amex for just about everything, including Costco. I was notified that my credit limit had been dropped when the Costco guy told me that my...

NAACP wants Washington Post cartoonist fired Chimp comparisons are ok if it's Bush, but if you're going to do the same to Obama, expect the feces to be flung.

Just bought an iPhone, which I like. It's a fun little device. After going through the itunes store for apps, though, I started thinking a bit. If you were to, say, get a KICKASS idea for a game app for the iPhone, who would you hire to do the work? I'm assuming that once it was delivered...

Wife and I are getting away for a few days in March. We're basically going to be there from Thursday/Friday until Tuesday. The kids will not be along. The computer will. The problem is that I have no idea which hotel to stay at. New York Marriott Marquis? The Benjamin? The W? (What the...
