Just read an interesting article from Business 2.0 on Kevin Ham, one clever guy. Is he making the world a better place? Maybe, maybe not. But damn! Way to spot an opportunity and outsmart the hell out of the rest of us. It was like the California gold rush in 1849 - except instead of ground with gold in it, he staked out domain names people would go to. And only a handful of people - now a very rich handful - ever found out a gold rush was going on, even without Donner Pass in the way.
Investment banking friends: it's okay to be jealous. We're all jealous, at least a little bit, in our own ways.
A reminder that there's brilliance in simplicity.
Also, the article unearthed a cool little tool that Overture left online... wish the Goog had something like it, but they're too smart for that.
