About Ed Blood

    My name is Ed Blood and I currently live in south Florida (greater Fort Lauderdale area).

    Currently, I am employed with one of the major wireless communications provicers in their IT department and I've been doing this for almost a year now. Before that I was with the same company as a technical service representative in retail stores (including a two year period as a lead). My duties included repairing customers' cell phones, inventory management, fraud and loss prevention, and training of new hires.

    Before that, I spent a short time as a retail specalist for MarketStar on their Hewlett-Packard team. I travelled from store to store training the sales representatives on Hewlett-Packard products along wiht auditing displays and inventory levels.

    I also spent a few months as a technical support representative for a computer company (Fountain Technologies) assissting customers over the phone with their computers. (I was laid off from this job).

    Not much before that that is interesting other than a job as a technical sales representative at Staples and an assisstant deli manager at a grocery store (and deli clerk etc..)

    Along with my current job I enjoy doing basic and fast loading web pages for friends and family (several of the sites are listed in my blogroll over to the right). I am also a very small time domainer (only ~200 domain names) but some of the ones I have are good for me (including this one) and my needs. I currently don't buy any domains you hear about on the news, though.

    I also help my wife train our dogs (Casa Del Mango). We have two Belgian malinois, a German shepherd (imported), a rough collie and a Finish spitz. Wr also have 3 cats (2 generic American shorthair and a show Siamese).

It’s like asking someone in high school why do they play [...]

Emails from “Domain Notice”

It seems that there is a huger harvesting of domains going on right now and a company called “DomainNotice” is sending out email.  Plain and simple - this is a scam.
They offer to keep your site indexed by “search engine” (what, they don’t even know Google?) and if you do not pay them $75 for [...]
