Ah YouTube is a beautiful thing. A great place to pass the time if there is nothing fit to occupy you on TV. This little compilation I present to you today includes music, global warming, driving, and midgets.
I caught the under the radar comedy ‘Walk Hard – The Dewey Cox Story’. Highly under rated. Here’s [...]

Yesterday my Bidvertiser experiment was upgraded to debacle status, now I’m upgrading it to ‘balls’ status. In case you can’t be bother reading yesterdays post, basically Bidvertiser accused me of generating ‘invalid’ clicks, which is how they justified the 1 in 10,000 click through rate. According to them, only one click was deemed to be [...]

The Bidvertiser experiment has turned into a debacle. After 5 days I had delivered 10,000 impressions. These 10,000 impressions earned 1 click for a grand total of $0.03. Wanting to give them every chance of success I emailed Bidvertiser asking if there was anything wrong with my account, and whether or not clicks were being [...]

As I sit watching paint dry, eagerly awaiting my seven day bidvertiser experiment to reach it’s conclusion I’ve become reflective. In the past twelve months or so, I’ve joined a number of programs with the intention of making some cash from them. Some have been winners, some have been stinkers. But it’s always nice to [...]

After seeing the new Incredible Hulk movie I’m glad to report that it went a long way toward righting the wrongs committed by the 2003 Ang Lee atrocity. Edward Norton was excellent as Bruce Banner, and a much better fit for the character than Eric Bana was. Banner is weedy, vulnerable, but underneath it all, [...]

SwollenPickles.com has averaged over 20,000 unique visits a month for a while now, and whilst I’m happy with that, I’m also disappointed that my adsense earnings haven’t increased in proportion to visits. For example, in May this site had 22,302 unique visits yet made only $23.89 from adsense. Even with my dodgy math skills I [...]

On one of the many MSN blogs this evening I spotted a list of some of the worst tattoos of all time. Worst of all time is a very big call, but I’d have to agree, there were some dodgy tatts amongst the group.
Rather than force loyal readers to wade through the muck, I thought [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has copped its fair share of flak since its release. With that in mind, I was more than a little nervous when I took my seat in the darkened cinema. I’m happy to report, that my apprehension and nervousness was misplaced.
Contrary to what I’d read, Indiana [...]

Colon Cleansing is one of those activities I would definitely have to file under the ‘pretentious’, ‘wankery’ and ‘waste of time and money’ categories. I’m not a doctor, or medical professional, but the whole idea of ‘colon cleansing’ does not sit right with me. So I decided it time to do some internet based research.
The [...]

Share-A-Sale is the latest affiliate program I’ve joined in the hope of making my fortune. Up until this point I haven’t spent much time looking around their site to see how it works, and what sort of programs and creative they have available.
At this stage I’ve only joined up to two of their programs, Tshirtbordello.com [...]

I logged into Predictify this morning after neglecting my account for a few weeks and noticed they have redesigned their site a little. The basic functionality is the same, however they’ve tarted it up slightly with some ‘web 2.0′ gradients. Very nice, but the real news is a noticed there were more paid predictions available [...]
