If you're here because I spent $20 promoting my site with a mini-ad on Blogger, welcome. If you're an old-skool fan, well then you're doubly boom-bastic. Seriously, though — are these mini-ads the Next Big Thing to hit personal publishing? MeFi introduced it, Blogger copied it, and who knows what the future holds? $20 for 6,666 impressions is pretty badass, but given Blogger's heavy traffic, I'll probably burn through the impressions by this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, make some coffee on Saturday night, because Mama Nature is treating us to a show: the annual Leonid Meteor Shower is gonna hit us Saturday (OK, Sunday, to be exact) from midnight until dawn. The nerds are predicting the best au naturel show in many a year. Hopefully I'm going to be camping out somewhere where the lights won't interfere with the fireworks.
Speaking of fireworks, Hey Mercedes' new LP, Everynight Fire Works is kicking my ass up, down, backwards and sideways right now. I'm a sucker for the clever, straight-ahead post-post-post-hardcore with a twist, and I'm here to tell ya: these fellas deliver the Rock.
Speaking of delivering the Rock, in an ecstatic shopping spree today I came this close to slapping an iPod onto my Visa, but I gathered my wits and decided that maybe I should collect a few paychecks first. Oh, well. Certainly are a sexy little toy, the iPod.
