I was wondering through webmaster world archives and found a pretty interesting post on the forum about website appraisals and domain prices.

The post is from 2002 and much has changed but what “Lisa” says seems very reasonable so I will republish it for anyone interested in trying to figure out what their domains may be worth.

I have outlined 13 metrics to judge a domain name in a self-appraisal. Read the rest of this entry »

It seems that the company that makes the Rolls is not too happy with China car manufacturers. The 2009 Shanghai auto show showcased a copy of the Rolls Royce for a retail price fractions of the original. The copy cat Rolls is priced under 50k and looks so similarthat it may fool anyone who doen’t work for Rolls. The fake Rolls is called the Geely GE and it is reported that Rolls has their lawyers on the case. I bet they do.

I want one of these so bad, but they are not available where I live. Check this out…

For anyone who lives in a small apartment with limited space this would be a blessing. The product I am talking about is the plastic, shrunken version of the clunky, expensive, metal, washer / dryer units available in most American Stores.When I walk into a Sears, there are isles of huge, stainless steel, washing machines and dryers. All of them need to be installed in a laundry area with appropriate hookups and the cheapest, no-frills, single cycle models start at around $300 USD.So, whats going on? why is it that in other countries, small, plastic, portable washer / dryers are available with tons of features and cycles for a fraction of the cost of ours here?  

The mini washer available anywhere but the US, I guess since I have never seen one in any store. The mini washer weighs a few pounds and seems perfect for apartment living.

The model on the left is one of 100’s available from many manufacturers in Asia. The mini washer weighs under 20 lbs. and can handle a few lbs. of clothing at a time. For larger loads, there are larger portable washers in a slew of colors and cool designs.

 There are also twin tub models available so you can do your delicates and cottons at the same time… ultra cool!

To dry your clothes, there is the mini dryer below. The dryer is only about 1.5 ft in height and can pretty much sit on your counter top. The product description from the manufacturer is below… remember, this is a made in china product and their english translation is not too hot. Also, I gotta add, the no fire thing… makes me wonder about previous models.

Product Features The dryer is recently developed by our company, it is suitable for all families, no fire, automaticly control temperatures according to different kind clothes, and clothes quality can be protected properly and unfold clothes fibre, after drying the clothes will be soft and level up as original new; It can keep air pollute form clothes and kill bacterium etc., it is the best coachfellow and assistant of your life. 

Here is another cool mini, portable dryer
