Comments down, earnings up?

This blog is hardly a huge money maker, but this month has been quite unusual for me and I felt that I had to share my experience with you all. I’ve been running Adsense for several years now, and its primary purpose has always been for the payment of my hosting and purchasing small items online. This month has been special however, and my page impressions have almost doubled yet my blog has gone unchanged.

What I found odd was the fact that my comments have been way down, yet my page impressions have skyrocketed. As a fan of comments, I’ve actually been quite disappointed with sparse amount I’ve had recently. Sometimes I think the comment function is broken! However, I can’t complain too much because my earnings have been so good. Maybe its just coincidence. I guess I’ll see how things turn out in November. haha.

Xbox 360 Elite – Red Rings of Death

rrodkoLooks like even the Elite version of the Xbox 360 is not free from the red rings of death. When I left for vacation earlier this year my Xbox was in perfect working order and I just finished a good session on Live with some online friends of mine. Before leaving the house I unplugged the console, tucked it away comfortably in the corner, and didn’t touch it for a little over a month.

My vacation went well and I returned home looking forward to a couple games of Call of Duty 4 which I was itching to play for over a week already. I plugged it in, booted it up and the screen froze up on me. I thought it was a fluke. Again, I shut the console down waited about 30 seconds and boom, it happened a second time. Finally on my third attempt instead of freezing the three infamous red lights turned on and from that point on I knew it was done.

Honestly, I forked out the $450.00 for the Elite expecting this problem to be fixed already. Apparently the term “you get what you paid for” is not always true. I’ve only owned the box for a little over 11 months and calling the repair department at 1-800-4MY-XBOX is more of a chore than a service. The automated voice gives you a complete run around and it gets pretty difficult to speak to a service representative right away.

The Montauk Monster a water Pokemon?

Montauk Monster I’m sure that some of you have already seen this photo posted on various sites across the internet. Well, being so intuitive and smart I just had to put my two cents in. According to various sources, this creature supposedly washed ashore on the beach in Montauk which is located at the far eastern end of New York’s Long Island. Ninja Turtle sludge? Not likely.

I don’t know about you but at first glance the monster actually does looks pretty realistic. Of course I’ve been wrong before and with so many really good photoshopped hoaxes abound it really wouldn’t surprise me if that’s just what this is. A hoax. There have already been quite a few suggestions circling as to exactly what this creature might be. A dead dog, a dead sea turtle, an X-files experiment and an Alien. I don’t believe any of those theories.

Over on the Dragguam Forums many of its members have had a very unique opinion about what the monster really is. After careful consideration and research I have to agree completely. Its a genuine water Pokemon! What else could it be? So to all those folks who don’t fully understand the nature of this creature, to wake their kids and break out their water Pokemon cards.

Gotta catch them all! More on the Montauk Monster can be found at Gawker.
