Delayed Email

One of the things that seems to be happening once in a while now to me is slow email - particularly receipt. Monday I emailed a friend of mine at a local financial institution about getting together Monday evening to tear apart an old neighborhood picnic table and putting it out in front of my house for trash pickup (I know, exciting life - but it was broken, he has a truck, it all is legit, we don't do this sort of thing for kicks...). He called me Monday evening and we did just that.

Wednesday afternoon I received his email response - dated 6/9/8 - about time for tearing the table apart. I emailed him to let him know about the delay. I think that if you discover an email delay between yourself and another person, you ought to let them know - they almost never have the ability to check out their mailserver about possible problems, but at least they can tell whoever IS responsible for the mailservers about a possible problem.

HostMySite.com

HostMySite.com has been a great hosting environment, and vendor, for several years for us. Companies aren't sold and bought just to run them the same way they were run before. So news of HostMySite.com's purchase falls on concerned ears here. Hopefully the new ownership will be as customer-effective - and customer cost-efficient - as the original ownership was.

Pressure to Pay Sales Taxes

It won't only come from governments needing to find revenue streams, but probably from larger online retailers as a way of building a competitive advantage.

Amazon and eBay are likely to be forced eventually to pay state sales taxes. Ironically, he notes, this may work to their advantage as large companies, because they have more resources than smaller e-commerce players to collect such taxes.

Pink Blogs versus Blue Blogs

It's time to move on from the discussion over whether Obama or Clinton is most despicable. There's a much more important debate:

Evil Blogs

What Is The Main Color of All Evil Blogs

Blue
Pink
A combination of blue and pink
All of the above
None of the above
Web Polls ARE EVILLLLLLL!!!!!

HarperLee.com

I've kind of wondered about these kinds of sites.

*Please note that harperlee.com is a private website, unaffiliated with Harper Lee or her representatives. Her reps cannot be reached through this site and we cannot forward messages to them.

I'm not for lawsuits, and I recognize that this is meant to be a positive site about Harper Lee, but I do wonder if I was a celebrity if I would want somebody out there publishing a web site about me that used my name as the domain. There's a brand issue, particularly for authors, that I think I'd want to be protective of...
