Well it finally happened!

I am sitting on the porch to my sisters house in Houston Texas just chilling and checking some mail as I am writing this. We have just come from the hospital where my sister gave birth to a healthy and beautiful little boy. It’s amazing to see such a little guy with all his tiny fingers and toes His name is Benjamin Martin Blair and will be coming home from the hospital saturday morning. This is their 3rd boy so good luck and have fun raising three little warriors!

Well I have had this probably rather silly idea for some time now and felt like it was time I shared it with you. I’ve never really known if I should do something about it, but today I guess I took the first step. I ordered the domain name DareNick.com from GoDaddy (I only added the ‘from GoDaddy’ bit because I hate seeing a punctuation after a domain name).

So what’s this idea all about, well the funny thing is I haven’t really made a lot of market research on this one because it will just be a site for fun (at least to begin with). So I have no clue how many people have actually done this as I refuse to believe I am the first lol.

Anyways what I was thinking was creating a simple video blog where visitors could dare me to do various stuff. I would then have someone document the dare and place it on the blog as a video. Sounds silly eh?

Yeah that’s what I thought for a long time too (and still do).

So why even do it … well I’m a big fan of expanding boundaries and experimenting with my comfort zone. At least I used to be very good at it when I was younger but today it’s a little different. I also think it could be quite fun as long as I don’tget sent to jail for doing obviously stupid and illegal things.

Is this a completely stupid idea or do you fell like throwing dares at me already?

Would you believe … my last server hosting experience turned out to be a complete disaster? True story, the guy apparently decided to close down the server, disconnect his phone and never reply to any emails. I was hosting two sites with this guy and they both just dropped from the face of the earth.

New hosting company new story!

This time I decided to host with one of the largest hosting companies in the world. These guys are extremely pro and their chat support is available 24/7. I feel completely at ease and safe with them.

But enough with the ramblings - more to come - stay tuned!
