Very tempted to purchase one!……. or do I stick to my original plan and buy a Canon 400D?! Not an easy decision, but luckily I’m in no hurry to purchase either of them yet.

May 25th, 2007 by Anthony

My ‘Diddy’ nana recently moved and found several old photos given to her over the years. I received these photos, scanned them and loaded them onto my Flickr account.

Below is a photo of my sister & I taken about 25 years ago in a park opposite my other grandparents place.

Domain name sells for US$9.5M

May 22nd, 2007 by Anthony

Anthonypannell.com may be worth a million or two but porn.com just sold for US$9.5M. Although a huge amount it’s not the highest ever, that goes to sex.com which sold for US$12M. If only I was quick enough to register these names!

The new owners of porn.com, MXN Ltd, released a statement on it’s website

“The possibilities with Porn.com are limitless, to rush its development just to get something brand new ‘live’ would be foolish. We will carefully evaluate our options before we decide the direction we wish to take it.”

I wonder what direction they’ll take, mmmmm!
