Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

I started putting ads on my sites a few months ago, after an episode of the dearly departed "The Screensavers." I put AdSense on, and I joined Commission Junction. I dreamed of the waves of cash that would be rolling in, allowing me to pay off bills and live in a big house on top of a hill overlooking Fredericksburg. This was in September.

I checked my AdSense account the other day. I've earned a whole $10.63. Most of that after I joined Blog Explosion.

My boss asked me to put AdSense on our site (linked above). In 24 hours, they earned $2.67, and are already up to $7.24.

Of course, their site is business oriented, and mine is just a bunch of half funny stories. It's still depressing!
