Saw the first add for Season 2 on HBO starting in April. So cool, can't wait

Been reading up on the bloom box after seeing a short clip on TV, very interesting, the future of alternative power sources is huge. a bunch of startups in Silicon Valley are working on it, but none has generated as much talk as Bloom Box. they have units deployed in production for a couple dozen high profile customers, including Google, FedEx, eBay, Walmart and more. Would be awesome to see these power cells powering up homes in a few years. Could potentially be the beginning of getting homes off the grid, and of a decentralized power system. Will have to watch it closely.

Google decided to give me a second free $100 credit to play with adwords, they make way too much money to afford being able to give random joes hundreds of dollars in advertising credit.

I used the credit to drive traffic to my product pages, and connected those to adsense, in addition to the Amazon links they already have. I am curious to see what will make more money, the Amazon affiliate links or Adsense units. BTW, Google already owns me another $100 from the adsense ads I run on my old soap opera sistes, expecting payment soon. Free money, helps pay for site hosting.

Going to bed soon, the great long weekend is coming to an end.

found a bunch of old cell phones yesterday in a box i was moving to the basement, haha! check out the Nokia, the matrix-like black one with the sliding front cover, the flip ones. i am missing the first blackberry, i think i gave it away, though I do have the second one.
