BlogDay 2007

So as I was trolling through my daily ritual of blog surfing and Twitter reading, I came across a mention that today is BlogDay 2007.

From their website:

What is BlogDay?
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors. With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.

So, what are 5 blogs that I recommend? Here you go:

• CC Chapman
  C.C. Chapman is a very creative guy who is well-entrenched in the new media culture. He is passionate, well connected, and well written. His blog gives me a daily "pulse" of new media and is a fantastic springboard off onto about 5,000 other things!
• Chris Brogan
  Chris Brogan is master of the "networked community". Thanks to his influence I have started using (and believing) the phrase "I'm here to help". Read his blog... you'll be better off for it. Trust me.
• BegoWorld
  "A Cup of Coffee and a Random Thought"
  The ruminations of a mom over a cup of coffee in the morning. Thoughts on motherhood, husbands, work, and all the wonderful and perplexing moments in a woman's life. Just plain good bloggy-stuff.
• LifeHacker
  Life+Hacks= Better life! I can't really explain this... just check it out!
• Engadget
  Everything gadget.... everything geek... you've gotta check this out daily!

Coffee Mornings - Miami?

Or should it be Cafecito Mornings?

I was listening to CC Chapman's Managing the Gray and he mentioned something called "coffee mornings". Apparently this is something that some creative types have started over in the UK and it has spread to some parts of the US. It has now also started virtually in Second Life. If you are into SL you can check out Coffee with Crayon.

Anyway, I did a quick Google search for coffee mornings in Miami and I couldn't find anything. It might be a good idea to spread the word and set up a monthly "Cafecito Morning" here in Miami.

Hmmm...

RobSuarez has been hijacked!

At some point in the next 24 hours I may lose my name.
Very sad. I know. I'm devastated.

Actually, what's going on is that I had all of my domain names registered with a company called RegisterFly.com (I'm not even hyperlinking 'cause it's just not worth it), one of those was robsuarez.com.
When it came time to renew the domain in December, I paid the renewal and it went into a "renewal queue". It has been stuck there ever since. On top of that, they charged my card for the renewal and switched the domain to point to some generic parked page. Yep, robsuarez.com was hijacked by the very company that I had it registered with!

I've had this domain registered for over four years, and it was all set up as my "author" website. I had a spiffy new Wordpress blog on there, and my podcast novels were going to be marketed from there. Now, it's not the end of the world because, let's face it... nobody knew that it existed. Also, I've now registered (with Go Daddy ) www.robsuarez.net and www.robsuarez.org, but it just isn't the same as my original .com address. Geeky sentimentality, I know.
