    Does it annoy you when I do THIS?

    by  • 11/28/2005 • geek, insanity • 0 Comments

    I’ve been toying around with advertising here, removing some things that just haven’t been paying, and fleshing out the Amazon products that I have in random rotation. The Amazon stuff is mostly a combination of things I personally have now, or that are on my own shopping lists… I actually read the content of the [...]

    by  • 11/26/2005 • life, meta---ging • 0 Comments

    I’d forgotten about Feedmap, but managed to stumble across my own site in the index when checking search engine results.

    I’m still a little sketchy on how the “Friends Program” works… Thanks to those of you who have gone through the initial sign up process so that I can see how this thing works. If you’re already a member in the Vancouver area, let me know – I’d be interested in finding out what kind [...]
