The Record Breaking Blog

After asking a local taxi driver here in Punta del Este if he knew where I could ask about advertising on those ubiquitous airplane banners, being given the number of a friend of his that is a friend of one of the pilots, and then calling up that friend to get the number of the pilot, and finally speaking to the pilot, I have finally scheduled my domain to go live in the air (literally) for all of Punta del Este and its beach citizens to see (and wonder what the heck it is)! That's right, my domain is going sky high tomorrow at 6pm local time (FYI: it gets dark here at 9pm), during a very exclusive beach fashion show that will attract a lot of people to the beach, weather permitting. Don't take that last party lightly, though, because the weather today is terrible, so if the weather does not improve tomorrow, I will have to reschedule for Sunday (weather forecast for Sunday is sunny, so it's a good enough Plan B!). I've also organized them to do a few 360 degree turns where I'm going to be at so that I can get as many pictures as possible, which I will obviously be posting up here. In line with my "advertising my domain in unique ways wherever I go", this should prove a very good investment!

I've started to post up the translations of the site that one of my sponsor has been working on. So the Spanish-speaking crowd here in Punta del Este should be able to understand what this is all about when they click on the "Español" link on the homepage. Eventually, this site will be in Chinese, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese (and English of course!). This is a WORLD record attempt, so it has to be in the world languages for everyone to understand and support!

I'm also in talks with a Web Designer to be the Official TheRecordBreakingDomain.com web designer and turn this whole site into a more serious venture and get rid of that "get rich quick" feel to it. I got the idea of a re-design from people in the Forum, which has been very active lately, thanks to Tino and Fred 5000, the new moderators. I want the Forum to become a more central part of the site and to be the reason people come back, so I'm going to be working hard on making it so.

I just hope it's sunny tomorrow...
