It’s Tuesday morning and I’m off to the races with a day that is jammed packed with meetings.

Monday was a highly productive day, coming off a very busy Mother’s Day Weekend and Baby Shower weekend for our princess (arriving in less than 10 weeks).

As for domaining news, here’s what you need know and read this day:

Read DNGeek.com’s latest post, and learn about the synergy of keywords, and how their quality and relevance impact the value of domain names.

Andrew Alleman has launched a new service as an easier way to find engaging guests for Podcasters: PodcastGuests.com. It suppose to make it easier to find new podcast guests, and assist podcasters and experts to get booked as guests on other products.

Is it pivotal for your business to own a .com domain? That’s the question of the hour today.

Today’s title plays on a massive $254 million Series C investment with a whopping $2.8 billion valuation recently awarded to Pivotal, a software and services company that provides agile development services on an open source platform.

As reported by TechCrunch, Pivotal has swooned the wallets of Ford, Microsoft, EMC, VMware and GE for a quite a hefty investment.

Life is quite short and can change without a moment’s notice. One minute you’re here. The next you’re there. The next you’re gone.

Those thoughts passed through my mind when we encountered a deadly crash on our way from Conroe (north of Houston) back to Austin on Highway 290 yesterday.

We didn’t get close to the crash and it was back up for miles.

It’s Mother’s Day Weekend, and I can’t wait to spend it with both my mothers and one of the best mothers I intimately know and cherish daily: my wife!

If you have a mother that’s living, might I strongly suggest that you buy her flowers, a card or at least give you a phone call just to say thank you and how much you love her. We only have one biological mother, and that’s all we get and have in this life.

Yes, there are mother-like figures, but only one person can say that carried you 9 months and delivered you. With no list tomorrow (as usually is the occurrence Sundays) Happy Mother’s Day to all of you!

As usual, the domains below are in their closeout or buy now price, and likely to drop catch or deleted should they not be purchased.

Although I don’t provide much commentary on the domains selected for Friday’s Bag Ole’ Domains, the names I select are based on being good domains to brand as your business or simply a business-in-a-box type of a domain.

The selected domains only have hours to be purchased in some cases, so don’t think you’ll be able to wait forever and a day to purchase.

It’s Friday and I’m glad about it. Lord willing, we’ll travel to see and spend time with our mothers this Mother’s Day weekend.

To all the mother’s out there, I hope you are thanked endlessly for the thankless job you do to nurture us only as a mother should and could.

I hope you get all the flowers, cards and love any and all mothers deserves.

Happy Cinco De Mayo… or happy 5th of May said another way.

It’s Thursday, and we’re having phenomenal spring weather this week in Austin.

I’m enjoying it while I can because I know it’ll soon disappear and the welcome to heat hell signs will appear.
