Selling Out


Helping to support your favorite bloggers in the style to which they are accustomed.

 
I’m trying out Google ads in the hope of catching some of that good Chicago themed search-engine juice that I have so far allowed to flow through my fingers. Or so I imagine. Now, finally, after thousands of years of suspended animation we shall see what my dreams are made of! Or perhaps not. My guess is that this experiment won’t generate much revenue but, in the Chicago spirit of empiricism, why not give it a try.
 
UPDATE: Someone pointed out to me that Google’s TOS prohibit suggesting or implying that viewers should click on one’s ads. So, in case it is not clear, I am not suggesting or implying that Chicagoboyz readers should click on my ads.

Help Wanted

I’m looking for people who have served on juries or are interested in the jury system to help with a new Web project. It should be fun and will only cost you some time. If you’re interested, please email me at jonathan at chicagoboyz dot net, or at the support email address found in the upper right corner of this page.

Thanks!

Disappearing Comments

This blog’s automated anti-spam system occasionally (more frequently for some commenters) blocks legitimate comments. I used to check the list of blocked comments periodically and manually restore comments that had been blocked in error. However, the spam flow became so voluminous that I stopped checking the list. This means that if your comment is mistakenly classified as spam I will not know about it unless you tell me. So if your comment does not appear within a minute or two of when you post it, please notify me by email (use the support email address or my name at chicagoboyz dot net) so that I can restore it.
