I would like to offer my services as needed to setup free wireless for everyone on your island. I would also be willing to act as Minister of Dot TV for your people. I will agree to donate my entire first year’s salary to build an island computer school. When I’m not doing the people’s work, I will provide free computer instruction to the island children. This is a genuine heartfelt offer and I sincerely plan to visit this summer so that we can discuss this matter further. Until then, God bless Tuvalu.

This is actually the National Anthem of Tuvalu. I think it’s a nice tune and I may be making a remix for Dot TV fans in the near future. In the mean time, click play and enjoy!

I’m looking for a tour guide to stay with me during my trip to Tuvalu. The candidate must live in Tuvalu and speak English fluently. My trip is planned for the summer of 2009. I will be staying on the island for approximately one week meeting with local officials. Please contact me using the link above if you would like consideration. A college language student is preferred.

I’m currently seeking the position of CTO with a Web development company. My salary requirements are $225K per year. That’s less than my current hourly rate based on a 40-hour week. I must stipulate that my offer is good only if the Tuvaluans decline my offer to serve as Dot TV minister. The ideal staff would consist of at least 5 talented, motivated, young people that are team oriented. I have a strong conviction that all network servers and bandwidth be in-house and not colocated. Everything else is negotiable.

Today I was researching the Velvet Underground when I came across this video of Andy Warhol eating a hamburger. Warning: This video contains subject matter that may not be suitable for vegetarians.

Things are not looking good for Dot TV these days. I could fill this entire blog with numerous reasons as to why the extension is failing. But for all intents and purposes, the premium drop ratio is the best method for tracking it’s health.

Dot TV is the only TLD that has premium domains set aside by Verisign. The best domain names are available for lease at a premium. There are currently over 50,000 of these domains available for registration. When a domain is registered it comes off the pile, and when someone decides not to renew, it’s tossed back on.

If the pile gets bigger it’s bad news. If the pile gets smaller it’s good news. On the year, there have been an additional 356 premium domains added back to the pile.

After taking the boys to school this morning, I headed over to the dentist’s office. My dentist is Dr. Andrew Owings, DMD and his practice is in Ninety Six, South Carolina. He’s very interested in Homeopathic medicine, so I brought him this Dental Chart showing energy relationships between the teeth and body. After discussing the chart he got down to business and extracted the tooth (shown). I highly recommend Dr. Owings for those interested in natural dentistry. He even does root canals using special homeopathic materials.

It’s been another long day, but we’re finally moved. Tonight we will spend the first night in our new house. This site was down today for about 12 hours during the move. But the PowerEdge is now happy and humming along with it’s new IP address. I’m very tired and getting ready to call it a night.
