Godaddy disappoint .me
This entry was posted on July 17, 2008
The .me domain became available for purchase earlier, and people have been snapping up domains like crazy. There are so many funny possibilities with this tld.
tickle.me
cuddle.me
doyoulove.me
Getting caught up in the excitement, I registered jai.me, because “J’aime” is a great word, and aweso.me, just because it says “awesome”. I even had my email receipt from GoDaddy about these two domains.
However, an hour later I got another email from GoDaddy stating that the registration didn’t go through for jai.me.
Bugger.
An hour after that I got another email from GoDaddy stating that jai.me didn’t go through (talk about adding insult to injury!) and I had an email stating that aweso.me didn’t go through either. Double bugger.
So, I’ve tried to register tyrannosaurus.me because of my love for dinosaurs. If this one doesn’t go through either, I will be really miffed! Even tyrannosaurus.com is available.

A Simple Plan Fansite
This entry was posted on June 2, 2008
It’s no secret that I love Simple Plan. I’ve seen them no end of times (well, five times if we’re being pedantic) and they’re a band that means a lot to me.
So much so, that I’ve made a Simple Plan fansite! “Operation Simple Plan” is a project that started off small and kind of grew into a much larger project. It would not have been possible without the help of my friend Claire; she has been invaluable throught the whole building process.
Operation Simple Plan is now open to the public! We’ve got a forum, a gallery, and loads of ways to get involved! So, if you’re an SP fan (and even if you’re not), please do check out my Simple Plan fansite.

Blog Advertizing
This entry was posted on May 29, 2008
I received an email today from someone called Elmer, offering me blog sponsorship. I’m all for being paid to do something I love, but being sponsored to blog? That’s not something I’d be interested in, to be honest. I can’t help but feel it would give off the wrong “vibe” to my blog.
When I see sponsored blog posts on other blogs, I feel like the sponsorship affects the way the blogger writes; it has an influence on them, and that’s not an influence I like seeing. I want to read 100% honest blog posts, not an opinion that can be swayed by something so trivial as money.
So, whilst it was nice to hear from you, Elmer, I’m afraid I’m going to have to refuse your offer, and not just because your website is weird and you can’t spell “advertising”. The same goes for anyone else who wants to sponsor me to blog. Feel free to give me money (I wouldn’t say no to that!) but don’t try and “sponsor” me to say what you want me to say.
