House Bill 3659 Passes, Amazon Affiliates Canned
Mar 10th
I just received an email from Governor Quinn’s office stating that House Bill 3659 was signed into law. This means that I will shortly be receiving an email from Amazon notifying me that my affiliate account is being terminated. Oh well, Illinois loses tax money because the Government wanted to get greedy and it backfired.
Before I even get that Amazon email, I am going to Start switching my Amazon ads on the niche sites and blogs to MaxBounty and affiliate links. I suggest you do the same » Inline Ad Purchase: Intext Link Incoming search terms:

How Amazon & I Just Got Screwed by State Government
Jan 6th
Just 5 minutes ago, I received an email from Amazon. To my surprise, it was an email informing me that thanks to the Illinois Government, Amazon will likely terminate my associates account. The reason? A new tax scheme that basically aims to eliminate affiliate programs. See the details here.
Note that if my Governor decides to be stupid and sign this (as he most likely will because he’s stupid), then I will lose a revenue source. What’s next? Clickbank?
This kind of crap makes me want to build a spaceship and leave this forsaken planet of ignorant asses who think they can control More >

Help a Person in Need… Firefighters Won’t!
Oct 6th
I was inspired to write this post because of a Yahoo! News article I read late last night when I should have been sleeping. But the title of that article just caught my eye because it made me think I was in Iran or some other 3rd world country where people don’t understand what civilized means.
The article in question? It was about a guy in Tennessee who’s house caught on fire. When he called 911, the firefighters refused to come and put out the fire because the homeowner didn’t pay a required $75 fee ahead of time for their services. More >

Did You See Debra Opri on CNN Tonight?
Aug 4th
This is off-topic, but there is a celebrity attorney I follow to stay up to date on the latest Hollywood cases. Debra Opri is a high profile lawyer and regular analyst for CNN. She has been on the Joy Behar show, and tonight she appeared on Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss a few major stories in the news.
One of the stories was about the two year old that went missing, and they recently found his body face down in the mud. Apparently he walked in circles for 4-miles while his mother was asleep. Another boy the same age and size has More >
Self Hosted Blog, or You Will Be Shut Down!
Jul 17th
The other day I came across this news item that was in my Alexa toolbar. It was about U.S. authorities shutting down a WordPress host with 73,000 blogs. The thing is this.. The host was shut down because of the number of blogs on that server that shared torrent links for movie downloads. I understand that those sites would be shut down for having illegal content. What I don’t understand is the thousands of blogs being shut down just because they are collateral damage. Those blog owners didn’t know they were hosting their blog with a company who attracted illegal file More >
How to Find High-End Customers
May 12th
The high end customers are basically the customers with the most amount of money. These are the ones that will pay $5,000+ for a simple product or service. Of course, the product or service must match what the average high end customer is looking for.
To find out what a high end customer is looking for, just turn on your television. You can see an example of high end customers by watching the red carpet, or checking out shows that target rich people like The Kardashians, or Million Dollar Listings.
Keep in mind that you are getting yourself into something serious when More >
Breaking News: Giant Vacuum Cleans Up Oil Spill Disaster
May 8th
Breaking News: Giant Vacuum Cleans Up Oil Spill Disaster! Ok, not really. But it would make sense to do that right? All of this oil spilling into the open sea, and all they can come up with is a stupid box that’s supposed to catch and store oil. But what if they simply set loose a giant vacuum in the ocean and collected as much oil and water as possible?
They can separate the water from the oil later and put it back. I think it would be much better to do that kill everything in the ocean right now. You More >
