Tonight as I sit at my computer and sip this glass of (previously cork-tainted, but now recovered) Biltmore Estates Pinot Noir, I was thinking about the long, rocky relationship I’ve had with Google as a blogger. I won’t get into the whole “no-follow is stupid” debate here (even if it is), but over the years…
Ads Mostly Gone!
Hi everyone. I noticed the site’s been ungodly slow lately. The ads I was running were not making me any real money to speak of, so I’ve canceled their existing subscriptions and notified the advertisers.

SocialSpark Friends: Gator-byte.com

I was going to go to grad school to get a degree in professional writing. But I decided ultimately that I can already write (even pro writers need an editor for typos and…
