100 comments in just over two years. On one post. Wow. Somewhere around the 50th comment, I started to wonder if I needed to do something. Once the count reached 75, I stopped wondering. And so, I made myself a light promise. If the comment count on that single post ever hit the century-mark, I …
Less than a week later, and it would appear that this blog — for the first time in its eight-year give-or-take history — is almost self-supporting. Thanks to a few LinkWorth ads, our monthly upkeep (hosting through Dreamhost that includes Alenda Lux and the NFDC Blog, as well) will be handled and covered. Who knows, …
I’m tempted, you see. It would be nice if this blog was somewhat self-sustaining. It costs relatively little to maintain, only hosting and the occasional domain renewal, but all the same, it would be nice to tap some small vein of income. Just enough money to feed my gaming and gadget fascination. I’m an Amazon …
For the curious few, the WordPress folk, you’ll be pleased to know that Asides (the in-line, Kottke-esque kind) still work in WordPress 2.2.

Some of you might recall that I participated in the late stages of LOTRO‘s beta testing. At the time, I wasn’t very impressed. Muddle Earth. Character …

Wow. Five ads. Really. I was expecting less, I think. Will have to look into this when I have time. Update: I’ve dropped the ads down from five to two. Apparently, Performancing is beta testing their advertising means by running “network ads.” Until an individual blogger’s ad-space is sold, the network ads will run in …
(This is going to be one of those nerdy self-referential posts where I write about this blog, as opposed to writing about something truly interesting. You might want to skip it.) As a dedicated WordPress user, this is where I’m supposed to mention kindly this new theme that now frames my blog. In particular, this …
