Happy Halloween

Great horned owlHope everyone had a great Halloween!  I got a great Halloween surprise, I got an up-close-and-personal encounter with a Great Horned Owl.

I volunteer for the American Wildlife Refuge, a non-profit organization that rehabilitates and refuges injured raptors.  A raptor, in case you don't know is a bird of prey that kills its food with it's feet, like an eagle, hawk or owl.  I'm licensed to handle and temporarily possess raptors.  I discover raptor rehab in college, and I've pursued it ever since.

Why I'm ditching Godaddy

I've decided I'm ditching Godaddy.com.  After years of recommending them to clients, I finally came to the conclusion that my loyalty is outweighed by my need to vote with my pocketbook. 

Why Bob? Do you really need to say "Viewer Discretion Advised" to advertise your personal blog, "Straight talk from Go Daddy's CEO & Founder".   I mean, what does that say about you, that you are a straight shootin' CEO who gets down to business or that you shoot from the hip?  Ewww, I can't click on your link because I really don't want to know.  

Actually, I haven't wanted to know for a while.  I've been ignoring all those ads about enhancement, and Danica Patrick, who should be a role model for women, but who is prostituting herself to be your spokesmodel.  I used to tell my clients, "Yeah, I know the ads are cheesy.  But it's an easy service to use."  You know what?  So is Register.com, and my old nemesis of registrars, Network Solutions.  Both offer domain names at comparable prices, and I don't have to pretend not to see their ads.  

Sorry, Go Daddy.  I'd like to say you've been good to me, but actually, you're just old.  And there's other fish in the sea.
