    Car sites

    I have a bunch of old car sites in my inventory that I used to put a lot of PPC traffic through. Several months ago I moved onto other things and just don't have the time to give to the sites anymore. Revenue for one of the sites was about 5k in 2010 and 2.5k in 2011. Absolutely nothing in...

    My 18-month-old son has terrible taste in music

    So I ran an experiment a few minutes ago with my youngest son. He loves watching "Wheels on the Bus" videos on YouTube, so I figured - hey, let's see what kind of music he likes. We sat in front of the kitchen computer while we're waiting for shrimp to cook and I brought up a bunch of Youtube...

    I hate it when the media talks about a site...

    ...and then forgets to give us a link. The story: The defendant can't get a fair trial because PYSIH.com wrote about Joshua Durcho and people are being mean to him in the comments section.

    Why does this workaround for my workplace internet restriction work?

    So my day job killed access to the internet earlier this month and it has everyone all freaked out and annoyed. Anytime you open IE and go anywhere but the authorized sites, you're supposed to get an "Access Denied" page. After a little fiddling, however, I found out that you can click on a...

    Free computers for everyone! Test scores rocket higher with free take-home laptops!

    It's money well, spent, schools issuing laptops to students. With all these school districts passing out laptops as if they were condoms, you'd expect all the test scores to rise and all the academic inequality to vanish into thin air. After all, only rich people have the money to buy...

    Mom helps daughter fight other teenager, records video and cheers her on

    Stay classy, Omaha! Watch the video if you want to feel a little better about yourself. This is why West Omaha refuses to have anything to do with North/South Omaha, other than eating at a few of their restaurants and hiring day laborers from their neighborhoods.

    Illegal immigrants steal trailer from old man, one gets shot. Old man goes to jail.

    This seems fair. So remember, you're not allowed to actually stop people from taking your things. You can yell at them, and tell on them, but the moment you equalize the playing field by shooting at that person who is actively stealing from you - you're in the wrong. After all, those guys...

    Internet Politics

    Mort Sullivan, here in Omaha...is a little out of his mind. From our crappy local news website: Some of Mort's websites: HEARTLAND TIMES HEARTLAND TIMES http://www.powerloss.com/ CREIGHTON MEDICAL CENTER SUCKS - best one in my opinion  DISHONEST LYING DOCTOR AT CREIGHTON MEDICAL CENTER

    North Korea demands the US pay 65 trillion for hassling them

    Is it just me, or do the North Korean generals have slightly over-sized hats? Maybe Kimmy Kim Kim just wants everyone else's heads to look bigger than his.

    United States Throwing Israel To The Wolves

    United States government supports a resolution calling for removing Israel's nuclear capability, while the resolution ignores Iran's nuke push. The article As tired as I am of the problems in the Middle East, I'm not exactly sure the best idea to solve this problem is to subtly indicate that...

    In the event of a mass extinction event...

    how long would the truly important things keep running? By that, I mean electricity and the internet. I'm guessing that electricity, in small amounts, could be taken care of by solar power, generators, etc. But if there was, suddenly, nobody around to refill the gas tanks and flip the...

    Best steak you've had?

    Wife and I went for a ride around town tonight and decided to stop into Anthony's Steakhouse for dinner since we've heard good things about it. I had the prime rib, medium rare - like I order at every steak place I go. It was pretty decent. Nothing to write home about. Probably on par with...

    May 20th is going to be "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"

    This is a cause I can get behind. From the article: So, please. Do what you can on May 20th. Support Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor (CACAH) and make fun of a major religion by using the power of the pen. Obviously Islam seems to be the most anti-humor religion out there, but...

    Niche failures + Niches you always wanted to try, but didn't?

    I like skipping from niche to niche, trying new things out and seeing what works and what doesn't. I must have tried/tested 30 niches in the last 2 years. Of those niches, I've probably had 5 that worked out for me profitably and another 5 that paid for themselves. Some niche failures of...

    Can you bring teh funnay? Can you be an opinionated, antagonistic, snarky SOB?

    Needed - writer who can reliably give me at least 500 words every 2 days. Self-starter who can wake up, hit Google to find a worthy subject and get the work done without me e-mailing him/her over and over to ask, "Is it done yet? Have you finished yet? When will it be finished? Have you...

    vBulletin 4 publishing suite or forum-only?

    Has anyone picked up vBulletin's 4.0 Publishing Suite - or are people sticking with the 4.0 forum-only software? Any thoughts on either? The price difference isn't too bad, but I'd rather not throw cash away on something that's crap.

    Writing for my fun and your money

    I can't work on my sites from my day job easily, so I'm going to try to make my daytime hours more productive by writing for some lucky person. Normally I wouldn't even put myself on the market, but I figured it might be fun for a change. Bachelor's in Journalism, several hundred thousand...

    Home Servers/Windows Home Server

    We've recently had our second Toshiba laptop fail, which is kind of a pain in the ass because my wife's been keeping all our pictures on it. And, of course when you send the laptops in they don't do anything to keep your data...they just send you a new laptop. I was looking at backup solutions...

    Polygamy - let's do it!

    It's an interesting social construct. I've talked to several women who seemed dead-set against it, some who thought it was interesting, and some (a small minority) who had been in an open relationship before and had mixed feelings. The women who were dead-set against it mentioned that they...
