When you’re in the bathroom, taking care of ‘business’, you really should be concentrating on the task at hand. But occasionally you do have time to kill, which is when this roll of toilet paper covered in origami instructions would come in handy.

$1 per year Domain Registration at Yahoo

Sometime ago I posted a method for getting $1 per year Domain Registration at Yahoo. Although it only works for 2 years but most websites barely last that long anyway, also still much cheaper then paying for it anywhere else even then Godaddy or Namecheap.
