I am hosting a few blogs now here at Thalasar. Mostly the blogs are independent real estates agents. It turns out setting up MT is a bit more than your average joe can handle. Some are people I know and most are then referred by their friends.

I am pretty actively involved in Jeff Barr's project Syndic8.com which is a blog directory of some note. I am largely involved in approving and tagging feeds right now. I have a ton of roles there but it seems like the blog spam is never ending.

I have been working on a new project called Early Miser it's a pretty interesting project since it's the first time I have outsourced to India (I have outsourced programming work to Russia for some time now ever since I hired Andrew Maltsev as CTO of Brave New Worlds. Early Miser is best described as a meta shopping comparison engine. Currently it's not even up - I have parked the domain pending an August launch.

I am giving away a Playstation 3 to publicize Early Miser. I got inspired last night and camped out at my local WalMart which only had 9 people waiting to purchase 10 60GB Playstation 3s. Not to pass up a good thing I got in line and waited. I had my wife Roxane bring me the necessary equipment for camping overnight on a WalMart sidewalk.

As sometimes happens I am approached a domain I own. Typically people want one of my domains since I am "not doing anything" with it and then offer me $10 for the domain. For 99.99% of these requests I simply ignore the individual in question.

What can I say. I am an idiot. A total fool sometimes. I haven't talked too much about Best Buys Zone or Best Buys Zone UK lately but they were the sites that gave me the initial idea for Early Miser - compare everywhere at once. Best Buys Zone was a project a built a few years ago with the help of a top notch Russian programmer. It pioneered or rather completely invented the category of shopping by RSS.

When I first started Thalasar.com I also started a number of other blogs. Almost all of them got abandoned at one point. I guess I simply spread myself too thin. One blog that I am reviving is my computer security blog.

I had two projects this weekend. The first was a big outdoor planter/xeriscape project. The other was a complete re-mashing of Best Buys Zone UK. Somehow I managed to nearly complete both of them. Our house here in New Mexico is on a hill and when people put this house up, they couldn't be bothered to build terraces to minimize erosion. So I have been building rock xeriscape terraces around the house.

I have continued adding new features to Best Buys Zone UK. Last night I added Ebay.co.uk auctions to the product mix. The interesting thing about it - it's a mashup built on top of existing software tools. It's my experiment in building a mashup without any programming knowledge and it can be done by someone with no programming experience!
