At the risk of sounding like captain obvious, somebody took my Taobabe.com domain and put it up for sale at the asking price of $8K. Eight-thousand US dollars!!! My initial reaction was laughter. Did they honestly think I was making money off my sporadic impromptu writing? Heck, if that was true, I would have been... Continue Reading →
This is what I get for not paying attention to my blog for 2 years. Somebody bought taobabe.com, so now I'm stuck with taobabe.whateverelsethatsavailable. Bummer I will announce my new taobabe domain name within the next few days, once I figure out whether .blog is better than .net or .us. In the meantime, I will... Continue Reading →

It's spring, y'all, and you know what that means. It's spring cleaning time. Time for me to scour through all the links to the right ==> and check to see if there are any (to be continued) articles that dropped off into the deep end, never to find their promised continuation.
