February 13th, 2005 by pleia2
It started yesterday, I felt like going shopping. Shopping? What the hell? I don’t even like shopping. Well I didn’t go shopping, friends are busy.

I’m a Google Junkie
February 10th, 2005 by pleia2
I hope google doesn’t become evil, they do so many cool things. On Tuesday they launched maps.google.com/ for the US. It’s got the best maps I’ve ever seen online. And they’re so slick! Not done with flash or java, it’s a very impressive piece of web craftsmanship. I want to box up it’s excellence and […]

February 6th, 2005 by pleia2
Average earnings per day: $1.59 Total for week: $10.35 As I had suspected, my daily earnings increased when I started taking the time to carefully place ads on pages where I believed people might actually click, rather than mindlessly including them on all pages. We’ll have to see how this progresses, if this is how […]
