Some (by last count seven) of you may have noticed that there are some slight changes to the look of the ol' blog. There are ads here now.
I initially hesitated to do it in the spirit of keeping the Big Brother ad machine away from every facet of life. One feature I do like is that I can now see how many hits per day the site gets. That information may one day be worth putting on a resume... if I turn out to be any good.
I figured I'd poll the audience to see if the trade-off was worth the annoying ads, but then I realized that I could turn this into a principled attempt to stand up for paid content, intellectual property and writers earning enough to eat.
So that is why there are ads here now. I'm not happy about it either, but maybe when I'm rich I can buy some new righteousness.

What is this advertisement doing here? Now at first I'm a little disapointed that the one place I go for no ads I find one. Then I have a change of heart...here is a promotion to win $200 every week. Why not pass this along?!
ReplyDeleteThen ego sets in, I think I'm one of the few people who read this blog and also lives in D.C. So as an homage to the readership, management wants to extend it's affection for that beloved rag and thank the DC crowd for their patronage.
