First off, let me say that I am not a gambler… Sure, I gamble with my life every time I walk out the front door, or drive on the freeway, but that’s just the way I do it. When it comes to putting money on the table, I rarely have any to put down. Still, I know gambling is a popular pastime and I’ve learned a thing or two from Kenny Rogers (as well as Kenny Loggins) over the years, so I thought I’d impart my wisdom to you…

Casino.de is in German, and I don’t know much German, except for Willkommen and a few other words, but the design of the site is actually pretty fitting. Graphically, it’s well done, and while I could do with less of the blinky animated GIFs, it’s probably right for the intended audience, which in the marketing world, is all good…

I noticed they went with XHTML 1.0 Strict for the DOCTYPE when authoring pages, and while I often use Transitional myself, I do like to see people use Strict, but… they missed the mark on this, as there are a number of errors, many from using <br> instead of <br /> and a few cases of using attributes that do not exist in the Strict DOCTYPE. These are problems that are easily fixable, and I’d give the site a higher score if it was valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.

That aside, they have an English site at online-casinos.com which I can read. Again, not knowing much about gambling, I am at a loss, but with this site they choose to use HTML 4.01 Transitional (which I personally only use for HTML emails nowadays.) There are just a few errors on the home page, and again, they could be easily fixed. Again, the design is nice, and fitting to the subject, and… they’ve even got an RSS feed, which is nice to see. I did not see an RSS feed on casino.de, which I think it should have.

Casino.de appears to be running on Drupal 5, and hey, I always like to see more Drupal sites. But, they seem to be using Drupal 5.7, and I’d at least want to see them upgrade to the latest in the D5 branch, which as of this writing is Drupal 5.12 (sure, Drupal 6 would be better, but there may be reasons they’ve not upgraded to that yet… I mean, I still have Drupal 5 sites out there as well.)

So in conclusion, I found the design of Casino.de to be well done, and the content is probably good, though I don’t read German very well, and don’t know about gambling, and the code (well, the theme in this case) could use a little cleaning up, and they get points for using Drupal, but they should really upgrade.

It’s no secret that I drive a Honda CR-V, and while it’s 9 years old, and has it’s faults, I love it. Honda makes good cars… and now they make hybrid cars. Heck, if I had the cash in hand, I wouldd run out today and replace my Honda with a hybrid car. Let’s all work together to save the planet… your kids will thank you, and so will I.

And while were on the subject of kids… I know many of us grew up expecting flying cars, and that didn’t happen, and we are angry, but now… we have a chance. Tell your kids about the future, where they will be driving electric cars, and buying gasoline will be something they won’t have to deal with, just a memory of the past, and the air will be clean, and we won’t go to war over oil. Hybrids are a good start, get one if you can!

Web Hosting Pal has reviews of web hosting companies, and yeas, there is a ton of information. I know, you think you can just ask a few friends who they use and get the scoop, and hey, that might work, but Web Hosting Pal… man, those dudes are your Pals! I looked up Globat and it said “Globat has been removed for too many complaints” how awesome is that? It’s like one of your bros looking out for you. “Dude, you wanna host with XYZ Hosting Biz? Run, run fast! They suck hard!” yeah… that’s the kind of information I am talking about!

Right now they have a top 10 list of web hosting companies, but I’m hoping that gets expanded in the future. Why not the top 50, or heck, even the bottom 50? You gotta know who to avoid just as much as who to go with, right?

The focus seems to be on low-priced hosting packages, which is good, because that is what most beginners need, and need to know about. If you’re running as root on you own VPS instance, you might not get as much value from Web Hosting Pal, but if you are just starting out, and have no friends to ask, hit up Web Hosting Pal and see if you can learn a few things. Deal? Yes… got it.

There were not a lot of options. She needed medical attention, but not just any medical attention, medical attention that could only be found in a far away land, and we had to get there. Fast.

Things were getting worse, and I knew that no automobile or watercraft was going to get us there in time… but we had one hope, and that hope rested on an air ambulance service.

But where would one find an air ambulance service at this time of night? Wait! What’s this? A web site that can provide information? Why, it’s air ambulance service! Yes! Our prayers were answered…

We were able to charter a flight from New York to Hawaii and get the critical care we needed. While we started to worry about her fading fast during a cross-country road trip, our worries turned to relief knowing that she would get the medical care possible while flying in an airplane, all thanks to the amazing powers of the air ambulance service.

Now an air ambulance service is not for everyone. I mean, if you don’t care about your loved ones, then by all means, put them on a bus, or charter a small fishing boat, and see if they survive the trip. But come on, that’s just not right! If you care about someone, damn the expenses! Charter a flight and get them on an air ambulance. They’ll thank you for it when they’re recovering, and they’ll remember it in their later years when they are giving away their millions… and you’ll be right there in line to get what’s due… all thanks to air ambulance service.

I like chocolate. I hope I can get some coupons for chocolate.

In the old days, you had to get coupons from the newspaper. (My daughter likes to cut out coupons, but I think it’s more the process of looking and finding and cutting that interests her, she never buys anything!) Anyway, nowadays you can get coupons online. Yes, that’s right, online coupons from places like UltimateCoupons.com

10% off, 15% off, even 20% off! If you purchase products, coupons can save you money.

This one time, the window in the van I owned broke, and when I called the insurance company, they couldn’t help me because I lowered the coverage about a month earlier. Damn!

People tell me that when you have insurance, and try to make a claim, the company will drop you. I don’t know if that is true, but supposedly it happened to this guy I know. (Or so he says!)

On the upside, I did get enough insurance so that if I die, my kids will get a huge freakin’ pile of money. I’m still not 100% sure I should have mentioned that to them, so watch my back! If I mysteriously disappear, please check into it.

Anyway, if you are really into insurance, supposedly the folks at Find Local Insurance.com (aka InsureMyHouse.com) can help you… you know… Find Local Insurance (dot com…)
