DNS Mapping & Domain Transfer Hell

As someone who has been basking in the shadowy aura of techno geeks for the last ten years and spending much of my life as a "translator" between gearheads and business people, I consider myself relatively well versed in certain aspects of certain areas of technology. Alas--someone non-techie has to communicate DNS mapping and other overly complex web-based URL association to the general public in *english*. --aha it's really a techie conspiracy to rule the world forever.

Soggy Derby Day - Congrats Smarty Jones

I am finally putting my money (or rather keyboard) where my mouth is and starting my new public blog. It is somehow fitting that I would choose Derby Day. 

Every since I was a kid I have been one of those girls obsessed with horses.  This was considered especially strange for a girl who grew up Brooklyn, but I can't remember a time when I did not love horses.  Way before Seabiscuit, my favorite horse racing story was the story of Ruffian and her great match race with Foolish Pleasure in 1975 at Belmont Park.  That's a picture of Ruffian in the corner.  It is a story that has been named one of the 10 most heartbreaking sports stories of all time according to ESPN.  Read all about it in Ruffian: Burning From the Start, a great book about this great filly. For those of you who have always wondered--now you know what the Ruffian reference refers to...wink wink.
