Will Google Adsense Pay My Salary

photo-26I’ve been earning a small little sum of pocket money through Google Adsense on my blog. It’s a relatively steady flow, although also relatively small.

050620093024Do you fancy Mac OS X on a Lenovo IdeaPad S10? The S10 is a nice cool-looking netbook, and Mac OS X is a nice cool operating system.

Bumping The Curb Again

140620093101It would happen again sooner or later. The front of my Honda Stream bumper got nicked by a curb that was just slightly too high, and now there is a streak of black plastic revealed in the front left corner of the bumper. Unlike the previous incident which scratched mostly just the underside of the bumper, this time around the scratch is slightly more obvious from the front.
