Boggle!
I’m at the Boggle Tournament again this year. Stay tuned for an update some time in the next six months.
Just saw this, though I don’t think it’s all that new. Former Michigan fullback and NFL player, Jarrod Bunch.
I’ve hit the big time!
Some of you may be familiar with the cybersquatting phenomenon, like the case where a supposed fan of Pana, Illinois, registered www.panavision.com, dedicated to photography of that city … and then offered to sell the domain to Panavision International, a well-known camera equipment company.
I think a closely related phenomenon is when people register domains that are common typos of popular domains, in an attempt to obtain accidental traffic. An example might be www.hoogle.com. Google, however, owns www.gogle.com and www.goolge.com and redirects to itself. This is big business.
In any case, it appears that a cheap Colinfest imitation exists. Frankly, I’m flattered. I assume this guy is just trying to feed off of the success of www.colinfest.com. I mean, his name is Michael. Give me a break - Bolinfest? Well, on the off-chance that his website, www.bolinfest.com, obtains any independent traffic, I think I had better hurry up and purchase our shared typo domain, www.volinfest.com. Just a quick slip of the index-finger, and his would-be visitors will be directed to my site.

Also, stay tuned for news from Colinfest this weekend.
When my brother or I gets caricatures done, it’s like we have a 2-for-1 coupon every time. A new take on old news here, for the regular reader (that means you, Brother).
Sort of a typical carnival game. “Congratulations, for your $5, you won a $3 piece of junk!” But I always like seeing really talented people competing in silly games.
My brother won the “Guess What I Bought” contest today, almost immediately after seeing the blog post. You may remember him from such caricatures as this one, or from his excellent performance in the last guess what I buy on E-bay contest, where he submitted the correct guess just minutes too late. This guy’s a natural!
This edition of the “Guess What I Bought” prize package will include a VIP invitation to Colinfest, and a new (to him) watch.
Come on, somebody’s got to guess.
The contest continues. Guess what I bought.
Hints:
1) I only bought one.
2) Bigger than a breadbox.
3) If we play with it, I’ll probably beat you.
4) This is a picture of it
Job Hunt
Looking to apply for jobs. Just came across one position that sounds interesting. Does this reflect tight budgets and cost-cutting measures in Michigan?
