I was a webwhore before I started blogging in 2001 so from the beginning my blog (and later blogS) were moneymakers selling porn memberships to my own paysites and other people's, not scraping by selling real estate and trying to post a bunch of bullshit to make advertisers happy.

I'm proud of my longevity and immunity to the sudden realization other sites are coming to that advertisers aren't going to financially sustain a hundred billion thousand cool, pseudo-intellectual blogs with writers staying up 23 hours a day to make $5 a post and get into retarded flame wars in comments. I post what I want, when I want, and sell myself and other stuff I know converts. It's a lot tighter than other business models and I don't have to kid myself like others do who think they're cool geeks because their web presence is just a "hobby".

Capitalist whore and proud, geeky sorta-sex blogger.
