TUTORIAL – Amazon Associates: Three Ways Affiliated Sites Can Advertise To Adblock Plus Users

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

I recently discussed AdBlock Plus whoring itself out by trying to raise money through allowing “non-intrusive” ads, and instructions on how to fully cleanse the addon of its whitelist. Even though I make use of Amazon ads on my site, I have no ethical problem with usage of Adblock Plus, nor can I understand “ethics” [...]

I think I’ll wait a while before writing a column…

It’s too early for anything to be said. Iowa is only the first state, next week being New Hampshire, and there are 48 other states still. Yes I was very disappointed with Mitt Romney’s 8-vote lead over Rick Santorum. I was happy though that Rick Santorum got so high, he a least has a Religious [...]

A Ron Paul Halloween: 2012 Edition!

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Last Halloween 2010, YouTube user malmohuset created a Ron Paul Halloween video, featuring a sped-up carving of a Ron-Paul-resembling Jack-O-Lantern, dubbed over by classical music and a speech. Now, via Lew Rockwell’s Political Theatre, here is Bad Dream Pumpkin, dubbed over with a speech on the nightmarish state of the world and Golden State song [...]

Glenn Beck Ripoff Alert & Yahoo Widget Clock

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

So I was in Borders and noticed that in the budget bin there was an audiobook called “Idiots Unplugged” by Glenn Beck. The covers and description claimed that it was clips of Glenn Beck “debating” with a fictional character on his radio show, “The Idiot”. I never got much into Glenn Beck and didn’t know [...]

Told you so…

I was right when I said they’d just keep the same Middle Eastern neocon garbage going: A leading Senate Republican voice on defense issues said Saturday the United States should consider neutering Iran’s navy and air force if Tehran does not halt its nuclear program. “Instead of a surgical strike on their nuclear infrastructure, I [...]

Fun!

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

For once in my life, my vote actually counted – I was always too conservative for the rest of the state to have every candidate I vote for win, but not this time I’ve started taking this out from the depths of my computer and who knows, maybe I’ll actually finish something! I just saw [...]

Beefing up the “original material”…

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

I decided today to increase the “journal” portion of this site to a regular thing. The news and politics and funny pictures and videos won’t go away, and there will still probably be more of those than journal entries, but I think it’s a great way to add stuff to the public domain, whereas these [...]

Funny dream the other night

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

I decided to auction a Taco Bell meal on eBay. People were bidding for this Taco Bell meal, and when they won, I shipped them just that – an actual taco. Soon the FDA came in, seized my stuff and fined me heavily. Then the talking heads got involved and turned it into a debate [...]

“Virtual Goods” a $1.6 billion/year industry

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Diane Medved at TownHall writes: Help me here. What is it about “virtual goods”–imaginary own-ables in online community or commercial fake-world games–that leads Americans to shell out a projected $1.6 billion this year in our jobless economy? Facebook hosts and profits from the virtual barnyard antics of FarmVille (75 million monthly active users) and a [...]
