Dollars and Adsense

Posted by admin on February 5th, 2008

 
So I am setting up adsense for the first time. Adsense is google’s program to allow folks with websites to embed ads on the page and get paid for clicks from that page. The content of the page typically delivers ad results from a particular category, in this case presumably real estate.
I am [...]

Hey Bill, thanks but no thanks

Posted by admin on February 2nd, 2008

Mr Gates,
first, thanks for Vista. I am singularly unimpressed and should have known better. Which brings me to my much larger point.
Please stop trying to squash the Open Source Software movement with your economic clout. You produce software like the government produces corruption; there is a lot of it, it all looks [...]

Eye-Fi, with my little eye, a BUG

Posted by admin on January 13th, 2008

Pretty cool.The Eye-Fi card won the Last Gadget Standing competition at CES 2008. Wi-fi meet memory, memory meet wi-fi.
I’m still not sure what I might want to do with it, but I am sure I can think of something. Direct applications for real estate are a bit narrow. Sure, you can send your pics of [...]

So your newish neighber sleeps all day and makes noise at absurd hours in the am. Of course you have shared your frustration with your family and friends, but that still leaves you feeling frustrated and needing some kind of closure. A quick search reveals that there is a user-contributed content website (lets [...]

RE Surface - imaging is king

Posted by admin on September 26th, 2007

Imaging IS king. There are plenty of audiophiles out there who will argue with me, and certainly humans have a remarkable reaction to coordinated sounds, and an even stronger reaction to smells (nothing can evoke powerful memories of a place and time quite like an odor).
At the end of the day, however, we are [...]

Why MAX? Good Dollars and Sense

Posted by admin on September 25th, 2007

Why MAX, or more precisely, WiMAX? Well, in brief, because WiFi seems to be dying out faster than the dodo, at least at the city level. In reality, while there has been a wave of bad news, there is positive news on some fronts according to CNET. But when the title of [...]
