Piers – Better Than Nothing
by Sue on Jun.03, 2011, under Life, TV
Ever since Larry King retired I find myself watching the Piers Morgan show on CNN. I don’t watch it live, I catch the rebroadcast that comes on really late at night. There’s no reason to make an effort to watch it live – they don’t take calls or anything. Piers is no where close to as good as Larry King, but he’s better than nothing.
Holidays are Needed
by Sue on May.27, 2011, under Fun Stuff, Life
The best of every month is payday. But the second best part is the holiday. Every month has at least one holiday that we either celebrate with family and friends or that means a day off work. All the months except August.
I wish there was a holiday in August – any reason at all would mean a day off from work and extra time to hang out at the beach or at least the pool.
Less Talk
by Sue on May.21, 2011, under Life, Technology
This morning I was thinking about how communications have been changing for people in my generation. Almost no one goes to the store and buys stationery or cards and puts them in the mail We use the internet to send things like that. It’s free, it’s easy, and there are lots of nice web sites that have cute animated cards that say everything you would want to say.
No one has a home phone any more. And unless your job is white collar that requires a phone at your desk for work, most of us don’t use the phone to talk to anyone except our closest friends.
Also, we don’t use email much anymore. . So much email is just spam anyways. I use Facebook and Twitter to keep up with my people, pus a short text from my phone. We talk a lot less but we still communicate.
Can porn survive the free sex tubes?
by Sue on Apr.13, 2011, under Adults, The Web
In case you do not have the internet and have not stumbled upon what is known by many as man heaven let me be the first to tell you about these things called free porn tubes. These things offer free sex videos for adults to see anytime twenty four seven. The question is if no one ever buys porn again than who will make it?? What is going to happen to the quality and to the actors?? Everything from video on demand to dvd sales are down in the adult entertainment industry and a lot of that can be consider to be because of the so called free sex tubes all over the internet.
Why have none of the porn companies sued these tubes yet and had them removed via DMCA complaints from the search engines?? It seems to me that many of these porn tubes are not using content from users or created by the users but rather by uploading copy righted content. I wonder what the porn industry plan is to take on the tubes because for now it is tubes 1 porn industry 0.
I am always curious to hear what you think can be done by the industry to combat the problem of free porn on the internet so chime in anytime!
The dot xxx effect
by Sue on Apr.13, 2011, under Adults, The Web
This is going to be HUGE I tell ya. The new .xxx domain name extension set to be released sometime this year. This will be the first time ever and probably not the last adult domain name extension to be introduced. I am going to pick a couple of simple .xxx domains just for keep sakes as owning a piece of history and a very cool extension is going to be an awesome thing. I am sure all the great domain will be pre-registered before they are released to the open public like myself but I am okay with getting a longer version of what I want.
Kind of curious why they choose .xxx to end it with instead of something like .sex or .porn and I wonder if other extensions like these will come out in the future. I have heard that these .xxx domains were coming out before but this time it is the real deal I am told and they have ICANNs approval for the go ahead. So if you have not heard the news yet about the .xxx extension let me be the first to tell you that .xxx domains are coming this year so go and reserve yours now!
What effect these will have on the web is still unclear but in my opinion if they start showing up at the top of big traffic keyword searches than the .xxx extension will take off as a whole. But these are the first adult entertainment industry domain extensions so if others come out down the road that would only make .xxx domains that much more valuable!
