If you’ve been bitten by the SNAFU that is RegisterFly, there is a new community site that tries to provide help and some answers.  At the very least, you can go there and join the pity party.

And by the way, DO NOT, under any circumstances, submit payment to RegisterFly.  As I understand it, they are now a rogue operation, accepting payment, but not actually registering/renewing your domains.  I urge you to transfer your domains to a new registrar ASAP.  GoDaddy is offering a refugee program:

Maybe ICANN will swoop in on their white horse and save the day, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Homer likes tennis balls.  If one tennis ball is good, then more tennis balls must be better.

Sadly, the decision proved to be too difficult for Homer, and his head exploded and he died.

The End.

I think the nurse practitioner was just being nice.  My guess is that we’re going to be 4 months late.

You Don’t Know Jack

Remember that game?  I used to play it in college.  Back in the 90s.  When you still had to hunt and kill (or gather, if you roll that way) your own food.  Back when Friends was still cool.  Back when Michael Richards was still a closeted racist.

Anyway, it was a fun pop culture game back then, and it looks like it still is today.  I only played one game on the home page, but it looks like they have done a nice job of updating the questions with current events.  I don’t know that I would buy a new version, but playing online is just as fun as I remember the old offline version being.  So go check it out and have yourself a good time.

I bought a Delphi SkyFi when Air America Radio first came on the air back in March 2004 so that I could listen to the now-defunct Al Franken Show.  In the years that followed, terrestrial radio stations started offering the show for free, and I eventually took on more work to the point that I was unable to listen to it at all.  Kelly used it for about a year while she was completing her masters degree, but by and large the unit has sat unused in our office for three years.  I can’t even remember how much the subscription costs per year anymore.  It started out at about $10/month, and by now I think it’s up to $13.95/month.  Anyway, long story short, it was time to cancel the subscription.

What brought this up was a news article I read today on MSNBC about the possibility of XM and Sirius merging.  If that happens, then I might be tempted to sign up again, but the FCC has said already this year that it won’t support a merger of the two entities because of language in the initial regulations that allowed satellite radio to begin broadcasting in the first place.  The merger makes sense to me from a customer point of view – one subscription provider, all the great content.  However, what will this do to the price?  Will it double?  Will it stay the same?  It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Thank you to everyone who came over on Saturday night for dinner, and, more importantly, congratulations to the Eoffs!

Holy crap.  In just a few short years, she went from Hottest Piece of Ass on the Planet™ to an emotionally wrecked fuggo.

Just received this email from a co-worker:

Saying The Right Thing

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Christmas Party.  Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn’t taste like alcohol at all.  He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party.  As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.

Jack had to force himself to open his eyes and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.  And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.  He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean.  So is the rest of the house.  He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.  Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in Lipstick:

“Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight.
I love you, darling!
Love, Jillian”

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.  His son is also at the table, eating.  Jack asks, “Son… What happened last night?”

“Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind.  You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.

Confused, he asked his son, “So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean?  I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??”

His son replies, “Oh THAT!  Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, “Leave me alone, I’m married!!”
