 | T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and Rick Latona Auctions to use Proxibid in Milan
As much as I want to get our live auction platform at Latonas.com out the door and being productive, we have decided to delay it further and use Proxibid.com in Milan for both our live and extended auction.
We've done a great deal of enhancements on our own system and have lowered the lag time to

| T.R.A.F.F.I.C. to once again focus on ccTLDs in Milan, Italy
Domainers who focus on the ccTLD market will be happy to know that our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. schedule for Milan is once again focused on their market.
Amsterdam in 2009 was a great success and we want to carry on that momentum with our annual event about country-code domain names.
Like Amsterdam, we are getting commitments from the centra...

| Mount Kilimanjaro, Rick Latona Auctions, & TRAFFIC
Rick asked me to shoot out an update today. There are three things that I wanted to cover:
1) It is Day 3 of the Mount Kilimanjaro climb. Since the group is taking the Machame route, they should be at Shira Camp now. Tomorrow, they will pass through Lava Tower and hit Barranco Camp (3950m). The

| Why I rode a bicycle from Atlanta to New Orleans
After eleven days of rain, wind, cold, chasing dogs, shady casino adventures, cheap hotels and endless hills, David and I arrived in New Orleans for Domainer Mardigras.
I’d love to tell you the trip was all fun and games but that wouldn’t be very truthful. More than anything, it was the weather that broke us. I

| Latona’s to start selling watches. Why that is good news for domainers.
As I've said before, my ambitions in the domain industry start and stop with the auction company, loans and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. I have no intention of setting up a parking company or doing 40 other things that could possibly make a buck.
All I want to do is sell things. In our offices we are constantly reminding

I'm currently looking to hire four sales people to help with the promotion of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. events. A small base and a VERY aggressive commission plan is available.

| You just can’t make this stuff up. Our shinny new hotel was raided yesterday
So yesterday I blogged about finding this Oasis of a hotel actually called The Oasis. It’s a brand new and very comfortable resort outside the city of Montgomery.
The plan was to take a day off from cycling and work and rest our legs. I didn’t even leave my hotel room until after our auction ended

| LongIsland.com reserve lowered to $350,000
There has been a lot of interest and action on this name so I thought the seller lowering his reserve to $350,000 deserved its own blog post.
Please note that there are some stipulations at this price. If you are interested, contact us for details.

| Good things can happen to good people. Lost in the woods, we found an Oasis
There’s an app for that. Right? Well, as a loyal iPhone fan I’ve been navigating mine and David’s journey to New Orleans with my smart phone. Between the map app and an app from mapmyride.com everything had been going smooth…. until today.
What I’ve been doing is using the map app and having it set to

| Sweet Home Alabama - Three days down
So David and I have now completed three days of the cycling trip from Atlanta to New Orleans for Domainer Mardigras.
Yesterday was so brutal that I’m just now getting this post up, and we still have to ride another 50 miles today to Montgomery.
Thankfully, the weather will be terrible tomorrow. That means we can sit

| Who knew that north Georgia to the coast was all uphill?
Either I've been riding a bike for two days or David snuck into my room last night. I feel like I've been sitting on the curved handle of an umbrella for a week straight.
Today while we surely lost altitude, regardless of my post title, it felt like an endless climb. Every time we went downhill,

| I ride for domains, I ride for clean water but mostly, I ride for me
Sunday morning David Clements and I went on a bicycle ride. Our journey will take us from Atlanta to New Orleans for Domainer Mardigras.
While that may not sound like a lot to those of you in peak physical condition, it’s a heck of a journey for two middle-aged, over-weight guys like us.
