I've been meaning to get some updates on here the past few days, but there has been way too much going on the past few days. There was a death in the family (on Jason's side), I've not been feeling all that great, and my mom has been sick but refusing to go to the doctor. I will getting some stuff up, including an article (I hope), but not until Thursday. Tomorrow, Google is going dark in order to protest the SOPA & PIPA bills. Many sites are doing the same. Since Google will be...off...for a lack of better term, I don't know if I will be able to even long in to update. However, even if I could, I'm not. The SOPA/PIPA Acts will basicially shut down our country's access to the Internet. We will esentially be like China. I encourage everyone to contact their representatives and tell them to vote "NO". Here are a list of sites you can get some more info at:http://sopastrike.com/http://www.craigslist.org/about/SOPASince I can't exactly take to blog down for a day, there will be an ...

Quick note about ads
I'm running ads through ValueClick now, as you can see. I'm working on trying to filter out ads at the moment, so stuff may be all over the place for a while. If you happen to see one that is inappropriate or whatnot, please take a screencap of it so I know which one it is and email it to me. I've set filters to keep that kind of stuff out, but I just want to make sure that they are working and nothing is slipping through. ...
