I recently realized that I could probably put together a few small sites using the tech I developed for development now. I’ve received numerous comments from visitors saying how the arrangement & information helps them find the information they need, so I might as well leverage it to help out people in other areas. So the first of those sites is blackjackjungle. I’ll use it as a testbed for tech & ideas, since I don’t want to mess with developmentnow too badly. Plus, I visited vegas recently, and let’s just say I stink at blackjack & poker. I didn’t want to play slots, and I’d be afraid to visit most gambling sites (popups, spyware, etc.). So a nice forums site focused on content & information exchange would be a nice thing. Hence my new site.

An aside — if you visit blackjackjungle you’ll notice a number of ads for the jungle book and other jungle-related stuff. I stripped out the word jungle everywhere I could, but apparently some of my pages are unclear enough that Google latches onto the word “jungle” in the domain name. So a word to the wise — when you’re picking out a domain name, be careful what you choose. Because it could come back to bite you (in the jungle). 🙂
