Money from Games

As I write this post, I have already received a check for about $20 and have $45 in my account at moola.com. The best part is - I HAVE NEVER DEPOSITED A DIME into ANYTHING! All I have done to make money is use their "Search and Win" feature every now and then, but there are a bunch of ways to make money.

You can play games gambling the money that Moola gives you after watching an advertisement.

You can shop from their affiliates and get "Cash Back Boosters."

You can spin the wheel o' money after simply using their search engine.

AND THE BEST - you get 4% of the money that anyone you recommend makes... and 3% of the money from anyone they recommend... and 2% from who they recommend... and 1% from who THEY recommend.

It's basically a pyramid scheme without the "scheme" part of it. It's worth a look! Oh and they're still new, so most people don't know about it. Get an invite here:

Check out a new blog that I'm writing with Cece Garcia:

Ghee-tar

I've never taken a guitar lesson, so I don't know if my teacher was relatively weird or not. I do know that he said things like, "I might suspect you of the sin of sloth."

And when I said something about how our eyes are able to interpret color because of rods and cones, he delicately explained how wrong I was and then proceeded to explain ROYGBIV as it pertains to the rainbow.

When teaching us how to pluck, he conducted us with enthusiastic arm motions that gradually evolved into the zone out stare of a human metronome. We only played one note repeatedly for about five minutes.

The way he watched us was as if he could hear a magic in the notes, or maybe in all the other notes we weren't playing. Maybe he heard something powerful in any music and was just easily enchanted, like a toddler with cartoons. But I think maybe his former passion for music has evolved into a passion for teaching.

Why My Hand is a New Shade of Purple

I was visiting my friend Paul Berry for the first time in a few months yesterday. I opened the door to see him and his dog yapping at me from a leash that his mom is holding. “Don’t worry, he’s not as dangerous as he looks,” says Paul. The dog is acting a little aggressive, but he is a pet, so I reach out to pet him thinking I’m not afraid of dogs. Next moment, the dog bites the shit out of my palm leaving a swollen white mark that faded into a dark purple bruise. Naturally, I yelled.

“Why did you try to pet my dog?” Paul asked.

Gas Station Politics

The following quotes are from an overheard conversation I heard when I was listening to a gas station clerk talk politics to a customer.

"It was either $30 million or $30 billion of debt when he left."

"Back when Clinton was in power we had money. We was in the red."

"He used scare tactics to get in the House of White."

Google Rumors


Digg!

This is a compilation of articles, videos, and forum discussions that are relevant to recent Google rumors. Some of the rumors are older, and some are fairly new. I will update more rumors shortly.

Google Galaxy
:
Forum discussion of NASA and Google's agreement.
Google's PR about the agreement.

Google's Second Life:
Interesting video sponsored by Google TechTalks discussing Second Life.
Old article of Google Earth and SketchUp as "entering into the same territory as Second Life."
More recent article describing layers with buildings.
Recent post on Official Google Blog declaring competition for recreating a university campus.

Google TV:
See the hoax on YouTube. Or read about my speculation concerning the events at this article. One of several video rebuttals proves the video false.

Other Rumors:

The Great Mystery of Google TV

What the hell is the deal Google TV? I think the entire internet is trying to censor any knowledge about it. In fact, this entire blog may be shut down just for mentioning GOOGLE TV.

It all started with this story by Mark Erickson which everyone immediately claimed to be a hoax. It seemed like a good prank, but shortly after, the story continued with a very emphatic claim that the hoax was no hoax. Maybe Erickson wanted a spike in traffic for his outrageous claims, but it is unusual for someone to defend a hoax. Also, another person verified that he was also able to get the beta version of Google TV on his 114th try. This claim's credibility... not great, but still it's there.

Now, searching through digg.com, I can't even find links to Google TV. And a Reuters article that previously had Google TV in the headline now reads the following:

We're sorry... this story is not currently available.


And when I google "Google TV," I'm not getting anything reasonable in my search. This is pretty unusual for the best search engine in the world. Is Google hiding something big? It seems like it. If anyone knows anything else about it, please let me know.

All of these together are making me very suspicious. It seems like Google is censoring the internet right now to prevent any more word about their TV beta testing from getting out. I love the company too much to get angry...

Here's the Blog: CHiPs!
