In a recent post on WebWorkerDaily, I read about another Adobe Air-based rapid mockup tool: MockFlow. One of the interesting things about MockFlow is its… Continue Reading Rapid Mockup Tools

United’s now offering unlimited domestic upgrades for its frequent flyers, matching programs in place with Delta, Continental and US Airways.

I released some of the domain names I’ve been holding for various projects and this enterprising fellow took a look at what I had registered and what was newly available and decided to offer to sell me the .com hostname related to the .org hostname… Continue Reading Domain Cybersquatters
