For some reason, I was struck by either the product, or the business
plan—three very interesting online stores:
- SmartFlix
-
For those of you who are into DIY, a website where you can rent thousands of
How-To DVDs.
- Heavy Ink
-
This is right up Jeff's alley—a place to
buy comic books (all 20% off) with free shipping. As the owner of
the site says:
Yeah, we lose big money on the person who orders one
comic book.
… but the value proposition is so simple and
compelling, that we get tons of customers, who soon start
buying enough stuff that it's, on average, worthwhile.

We already get flushable cat litter, but this … wow! We won't
even have to do that anymore.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
