Google Adsense Says No to Images

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

Well, I am sure this is going to get the award for CYA in 2006. Google has decided to state publicly that lining up images with your Adsense ads is a no-no. Well, hardy har har. I am sure they are going to run out and ban people all over the place…because I [...]

S&L Crisis Round II

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Well, many of you who actually know me in person, know that I have been pretty bearish on the national real estate markets for some time. In short, I feel that the lack of oversight and allowing interest rates to hang as low as they have is going to cause another real estate crash like [...]

Zawodny Busts Google

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Pretty funny post over on Jeremy Zawodny’s blog about Google copying Yahoo.

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Ozomatli at the Fillmore Tonight

Friday, December 1st, 2006

I need to make sure I get a nap in this afternoon as we are going to see Ozomatli at the Fillmore tonight. Last time we saw them play there, they brought the entire band off of the stage, including the entire drum kit, out into the audience and played 4 or 5 songs. [...]
