Below a Buck - what happened?
Wow so after I got all excited copying Shoemoney’s Below a Buck idea, it looks like he is making so little from that site he doesn’t even care if it’s up anymore. A quick visit to the site shows an error:
Warning: connect() [function.connect]: Can’t connect to 127.0.0.1:11211, Unknown error (0) in /home/websites/belowabuck/html/config.inc on line 15

StumbleUpon Paid Ads Feedback
I have been using StumbleUpon’s Paid Ads for a few weeks now, and have some feedback.

What Happened to Jason Calacanis?
I used to read Jason’s blog all the time. Nowadays I can just get a pulse of what the hotbutton issues are for the day, and visualize what his blog looks like. Link to Mahalo SERP page for this, link to Mahalo SERP page for that.
Right now Jason has 15 articles on the front page [...]
Google Adsense Channels are not reporting

Feeling punked already, some Hollywood guy named Mike Hickey, an analyst at Janco Partners, commented, “The audience on this [...]

San Diego Wildfires
Fires have been raging throughout San Diego County the last few days, and it has been amazing to watch the process. We went through a similar ordeal in 2003 for the Cedar Fire, and it was much worse. This time around, fire officials responded MUCH better, and we have one confirmed fatality as opposed to [...]
People DO get arrested for linking to stuff on the internet
Popular TV streaming site TV Links has been shut down and the owner arrested. I won’t link to it here because someone has put up a typical domain parking page for the clueless traffic. Keep in mind this guy, who lives in the UK, wasn’t hosting any copyrighted content. He wasn’t stealing anything. He LINKED [...]
Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. “What a beauty of a bird feeder it is” I thought as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
