A $35,000 Mistake

December 11, 2008 2:44 PM | permalink | comments: 0

The domain GeorgeWBushLibrary.com had been owned by Yuma Solutions, which has been a contractor for the Bush family for some time. However, Yuma accidently let the domain expire.

A company called Illuminati Karate promptly swooped in and reserved the GeorgeWBushLibrary.com domain. Then they sold it back to Yuma for a cool $34,990.

Yuma originally bought the domain from a "domain squatter" in 2007 for $3000. Now they've had to eat nearly $35,000 because somebody wasn't paying attention.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
