Very Interesting Video. Music is what struck me the most though.

it's nicely un-natural. i like this kind of electronic element. very emotional or compelling.

An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore's dvd on Global Warming

2007-01-17T19:33:00.000-08:00

just made me think again why al gore didn't win the election...
and on top of that bush won twice..
i can't seem to find the right answer to it.

actually what i'm concerned about the most is how come i am not the president of USA even't though you can't spell USAMA without USA.
i should at least establish the USA Mortgate Association and make lots of money...

either way it wouldn't hurt to watch this dvd on global warming.
(well actually it hurts to watch that..)

so like people don't even believe that's happening right now or something?
especially bush... don't think anything other than what's happening immediately and never thinks about future? i hope people realize what it means to be "selfish"

in my opinion people who thinks only about the immediate future are selfish.
human got alot more to do nowadays whether you like it or not.

and the music on it is awesome.
it's like godspeed you black emperor. strings, guitars, and some weird voice, etc, etc.
love that stuff...

from dvd:
number of scientist who disagreed that we are causing global warming 0%
number of press who were not sure about the fact that we are causing global warming 53%
so yeah like he was saying just let people know that you are part of the cause.
USA ranks the highest contributors to the global warming.

another thing i need to point out is that this DVD was released in 2006
in Japan, this kind of thing had been said almost 10 years ago as i've learned these issues when i was in middle school. and that probably is true for most countries except US for some stupid reason like industry will be fucked up economy blah. pure sign of laziness. irresponsible child. that's what i meant by "you are selfish" if you didn't get it.

midphase - thief

2006-11-13T00:26:00.000-08:00

so yes these people are theives and have horrible customer support so don't ever sign up with midphase.com

midphase.com thinks that their service is good but midphase.com is not good at all.

i warned you. never ever sign up with them.

to give you what kind of host they are.. they have numerous "fake review site" saying that they are good! and that's their marketing strategy. their fake review sites tell stuff like "customer reviews" "5 positive, 0 negative reviews" and "high quality" blah blah blah and that's how they try to win your initial trust over. yeah for a year and new customer they can be good because you dont' know whole a lot about them. but if you stay with them for a year they suddenly becomes horrible host. their server is down all the time nowadays and just as a host not good either.
back in the days maybe.. two years ago they were good but not anymore. stay away from this one. and again but their customer support SUCKS!

also 1and1.com they are cheap but they are seriously cheap. they have numerous links or buttons inside of their control panel saying "order" bad thing is that they are mostly no refund option. once you click on it you won't get your money back.
they say they will issue refund bla blahy blah in the email but in the end they won't. they just say stuff in the email.

those two hosts. just never sign up with them. i told you already. remember this. midphase.com and 1and1.com are both thieves.

AdSense Widget for Mac OS X Tiger Users

2006-08-16T14:53:00.000-07:00

i have found AdSense Tracking widget for Mac OS X.

it's a widget so only Tiger or 10.4.x users can take advantage of this neat budget.
AdSense Stat please be sure to download this widget if you are using adsense.

• No log-in from browser when you check your AdSense revenue.
• Shows you report for past 5 days and its total and average.

it's small app so simply that's all there is but saves your time when you just want to see how your AdSense is doing. In the end, it does its job.

2006-08-16T14:25:00.000-07:00

These are well documented, bullet point, How-To articles on making money, drawing traffic, etc.

Ecto - Mac OS X tool for Blogging

2006-08-16T04:16:00.000-07:00

I just downloaded this blog tool called Ecto for macintosh. Blogger's web interface is very easy to use but yeah it is kind of tedious if you are managing multiple blogs.

Pros:

Switching between multiple blogs, multiple blog acounts
Undo - just like word
Email client like interface
Amazon, iTunes, iPhoto integration
Save Draft Feature - you can store couple of posts before you actually post them
HTML/Rich Text editor - you could code yourself / just format using their special editors.

Cons:

Amazon codes previously made didn't show up correctly
Still kind of buggy. it runs fine but small small errors. (one or two that i've found)

i haven't been using so i can't tell but i think this is pretty cool tool to have. it is just $17.95. i will try for like 20 days and maybe i'll purchase or not i will figure out later.

If you haven't checked it out go to Ecto web site to download and give it a try.

Search Engine Keyword - Online Casino

2006-08-15T12:57:00.000-07:00

i have found a video on how to search for keywords.

on this Pro Blogger.net he has posted so many tips on making money. this site is very good. main topic is about making money with blogs but he do post stuff that i can see that he has ethical considerations.

as that high pay keywords are things like... online gambling, las vegas, casino, black jack card games, money, porn, etc etc you know where all the money are...so it's kind of like selling soul if you are not into that stuff. if you wanna blog about casino, las vegas and such then.. yeah maybe.. but i don't know how good they will be for money.

anyway, i'm reading post on making money on blog for beginners and it seems to be pretty good.

also, Joel Comm is the guy... he has couple of books/ebooks so be sure to check him out...
as i mensioned before his book is..

other than that, google site itself has pretty good video on how to maximize profit using AdSense. it tells you to have as much page with good ads as possible, include many keywords, etc.
