WOW! Talk about a jinx.

WOW! Talk about a jinx. I should have kept my mouth shut. I got an announcement from Google this morning they are discontinuing their affiliate program. Boo hoo. The gravy train will end Feb 1. Can we reach $25? Get your searching in quick

iPaulo is now soliciting opinions on alternate search engines and (begin maniacal laugh) other money making schemes (end laugh).
I will continue to use Google. I like it and would use it regardless of
the 1 cent commission. 😎 I’ve been thinking about joining buy.com’s
affiliate program. If iPaulonesians use the site as launching pad for
their shopping for computer gear at buy.com, I could have real money in
no time. Then a hosted, open bar party might actually be a reality. Send iPaulopinions.

Yahoo…. In 9 months, iPaulo’s google search box has generated a
whopping $21.43! Good job folks. Keep it coming. The dough is rolling
in…fast! Like any good dotcom in these troubled times, however, we
are burning through capital at an astonishing rate. Our net losses are
over 50% and climbing. Venture capital is being whooed even as I write
this. Wish us luck.

not to give away all

not to give away all the secret workings of iPaulo, but I’m hoping to
find time for some redesign soon. sg suggested i look at eye candy underground
for ideas. more designer-ish than i want in most cases but i was
looking for inspiration not a cookie cutter idea. if you see a site you
feel would inspire a better iPaulo, feel free to email me.

ok. blogger has been really slow for about 2 weeks. only through
several attempts and many javascript time outs was i able to bring you
the 1/2/01 issue of iPaulo. alas, there was an 1/4/01 issue. after
painstaking writing, blogger’s overloaded servers ate my post. i
decided to wait for the blogger server fund
to upgrade the blogbackend. they’ve been given an astonishing $10k so
far and a new server is now load sharing. so updating ipaulo is no
longer the tedious nightmare it has been recently.

sadly, the
1/4 issue which never appeared told you in a very timely manner the
whole monolith thing is just a marketing idea for a rerelease of 2001.
oh well. art,shmart, let’s make some money and if public officials can
be paid to lie to the press in the name of making a buck, great!

for fun, check out the van gogh-gogh’s site (the site is dead but this is a good link. try later). fans of the 80’s band the stray cats should go to leerocker.com.
that’s it for now.

Here we go. Commuting is good for something…fun news stories for
iPaulo. 2001 is a great book and a movie with great space toys.
Inspiring enough to an artist to build a monolith to usher in the new year. It made a big splash in local news with a second story and then mysteriously disappeared.
(3 different links) I regret none of these links include pictures so
the written word will have to do–kind of fitting actually.

Where have I been? Obsessed

Where have I been? Obsessed with Everquest of course. My mind continues to rot during hours of computer gaming. Oops.

Let
me shout this from the rooftops: Owners of old televisions need not buy
a new tv to enjoy many of the benefits of DVD’s. Don’t listen to the
twits at the store. You can use a $30 RF modulator from Radio Shack. If
you’ve been gunshy about forking out the cash for a new tv and dvd
player, just buy the dvd player now. This came up with two people
recently. I’m thinking there are more people out there who might like
this kind of thang.
