It’s not that I stopped doing it. Rather, it’s the general lack of opportunities that I would be interested in, and thusly, do not want in my blog. Sure, I could blog about the various health supplements, detox centers, or MySpace Layout pages that are showing up on the Blogger Dashboard over at PPP, but I won’t for these reasons:

1) I could care less about those health supplements. I’d be more inclined to point out Vuru for vitamins and supplements than I am to take something that random. Why? Because I found out about Vuru while at a Doctor’s Office. It may sound odd, but if I’m going to put something in my body for medicinal purposes, I’d rather hear about it first in a Doctor’s Office, than I would off the Internet in some stranger’s blog. (p.s.: if you’d like to check out vuru, please contact me. I’d like to earn the referral bonus that comes from pointing Vuru out to people. thank you! :))

2) Detox centers are all good and gravy, but the offerings are all for the Pacific Coast. If there were some ATLANTIC coast offerings, I’d be more inclined to take another detox offering. Suffice it to say, I don’t have any hatred against them. I just want the next one to be on the Atlantic side of this continent, so that I can reference the previous post and point it out to people. East coast? Here. West coast? There.

3) I don’t believe in MySpace.
I have a MySpace account, at the suggestion of several coworkers (and former coworkers), and I haven’t bothered checking it in several months. Why? Because MySpace is just a loud, obnoxious version of Orkut (which no one cares about anymore), mixed with the dramas of LiveJournal, and is full of drunk, partying teenagers who don’t think that what they say will ever affect them down the line when employers decide, “Hmm, let’s see… Assistant! Go grep the web for this new hire candidate. See if you can find anything that will damage our reputation.”
Personally, I’d love to see every server at MySpace’s colo just implode from all the teenybopper angstramas and copyright violations, etc etc. That’s just me, though.
Want to make yourself known?
Buy a domain. Buy some hosting.
LEARN SOME HTML.
PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, Cold Fusion, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Firebird, ASP, ASP.NET? Learn some of them. They’ll be useful to you later on down the road, when you try to get a job.

So, what have I started doing in the place of PPP, to earn a few extra dollars?

I can’t tell you how I found CashDuck — I really don’t remember. I just know that I like duckies, because they’re cute, and there’re a number of free trial offers, or low cost trials floating around there. Doing a few of those with the extra cash that PPP has granted me (literally, I’ll take a dollar trial or something at CashDuck from the $5 or $10 that PayPal has given me, and hold out for the trial. Once the trial is about to end, I kill it, and still get the credit), and I get a bit of cash just like that.
The ups to CashDuck?
I can earn money without blogging.
The downs?
I have to spend a little money here and there to earn some of the rewards.

Also, a reminder: I’m still trying to earn that Free Nintendo Wii. This means I need ten referrals still. Please give it a try, and help me earn something modern.
