It has been 12 years since I registered this domain name. It’s about time we did something with it.
It was conceived during our regular Wednesday night poker game in a studio apartment in the Mission District in San Francisco. We drank, we smoked, and we reveled in the endless possibilities of the California Dream. For those of you who were not in San Francisco in 1998, you missed an epic time in American history. It was the absolute pinnacle of the Dot Com Boom. Everyone was dreaming of unimaginable riches created out of thin air from ideas that would have seemed absurd a few years earlier.
Pet food ordered online, groceries ordered online and delivered to your apartment by a fleet of tan colored step-vans. Books ordered online… actually that one turned out to be a good idea. Everyone was an idealist and everyone was hoping to be a dot com millionaire. Some made untold riches, others like me moved on to less lofty endeavors.
I have a vivid memory of watching the Nightly News with a friend in 1998. The NASDAQ had just hit another record high and Tom Brokaw was reporting on the boom. I said to my friend, “remember this, the economy will never be better than it is right now.” As it turns out, I was right, unfortunately… You know the rest of the story… dot com bust, Enron bankruptcy, Worldcom accounting scandal, recession of 2001, they all seem so quaint and so long ago.
Flash Forward to 2010, I have finally gotten off my slacker ass, mostly because I have been unemployed for months, and put together this web site. Some of you might refer to it as a blog. I prefer the term wrant, as in web rant.
If I can stay off my slacker ass and actually keep up with this site, you can look forward to my wrants. I plan on focusing on injustice. Specifically Economic Injustice…(what else would you expect from someone unemployed).
Thanks for reading…
Stay Gold,
Aimlow Joe

Lots of luck on your new endeavor.
Great intro, lots to think about here. I too have said much the same thing to people regarding the city of Boston during the Dot Com Boom. Everyone and anyone with half a sense of entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a few ounces of creativity was blooming with ideas and promise. It was indeed something to behold. I’m glad I had that experience even if it didn’t net me untold riches, I was however part of something larger than myself and I won’t soon forget that time in history.
I wish you well and have nothing but high hopes for Aimlow.com
Well, you couldn’t pay me to have kids at this stage of the game but you can now pay me to watch your kids. Welcome to the new World Economy. No college degree and 25 years in Real Estate (speaking of aiming low) and it all comes down to 3 ten hour days with a pascel of kids…Actually easiest money I ever made and it sure beats the cleaning business I took up post divorce (pre mortgage broker) life 15 years ago. My motton then? I used to have one, now I am one. I heartily applaud your incarnation with this WRANT. Will pass it on to everyone. Thank you for proving, once again, that another door, or window or crack, opens in the universe somewhere when it bottoms out.
Best!
This is a repeat post from elsewhere in here.
I’m a lady with three grown kids, from Australia. Just ‘fell’ upon your site thru a post at infowars.com. Never say/post such things Joe. But …you are hereby dubbed ‘Sir Very Fucking Funny’. Seriously and beyond the humor (and yes, yes, all you ‘I’m-offended-just-be-positive’ arseholes out there – it’s just my own opinion) you Joe actually have a handle on things. Keep digging and get deeper. It’s a suppurating sinus of puss under all the diplomatic correctness out there. Odd find these days. Like it. Take care. Hey …you single?
Thanks for the getting it.
Aimlow Shemp is single. He is much more fun, taller and better looking than Aimlow Joe. And he lives in Brooklyn which is much cooler than where Aimlow Joe lives.
Just when my bookmark folder has been filled to the top with neat sites to cruise, I find I must add one more! My Mac threw up out the DVD port when I did but I beat the hell out of it and threatened to turn it off unless it behaved like the slave it is.
(The damn thing has a complex too – when I tell it to sleep, it does – and then won’t wake up! )
Like the straight out approach and I hope you guys/girls can hang in there long enough to reach a lot of real people..
