A visitor recently posted a comment on my blog about how they had been scammed by a Nigerian miscreant who weaseled them out of $137. So I thought I write a few tips on how to prevent and/or recover from being weaseled.

War.  Huh, what is it good for?

Scientists and the military have finally invented a “ray gun” – funny how we’re always copying Hollywood!  This new ray gun is the latest advancement in warfare and crowd control.  Watch the video for a taste of how it works.

I’ve been trying to sell my Dell E1505 laptop as part of my mountain bike fund and because I hardly ever use the machine.  So I listed it for sale on Craigslist in Provo.  I’ve received several emails about it from some pretty unscrupulous people.

A Lesson Learned - Keep Your Domains

Posted Wed, 03/26/2008 - 23:00 by Clint

Back in 2004 (wow it seems like a long time ago). I created a couple of self help web sites. One was called My Computer Training and the other was called Student Loan Review. I'm not going to provide the links because the people who own the URL's now have put up some lame-o click-on-all-these-ads-and-make-me-some-money sites. Which are deplorable.

I worked my butt off when I owned the domains, 2004-2005, to really build up the Google page rank and establish the sites as very relevant for my target audience. My Computer Training had a 5/10 rank and Student Loan Review was a 4/10.
