Comprehensive post about Azores! 30 Useful Things to Know Before You Visit the Azores.
My wife and daughter visited Kunming a few years ago and really liked it. Kunming, China in 4 Steps & Why You Need To Know About This Important City.
This is great, a website all about paper airplane designs, love it!
This is a short and inspiring video about single women in China are courageously standing up against the pressure of being labelled “Sheng Nu”, or “leftover woman”. This hit in the heart.
Hilarious game: You are Jeff Bezos.
Here is another fun website: Time Traveler. When was a word first used in print? You may be surprised! Enter a date below to see the words first recorded on that year.
I am always interested in what he has to say: No such thing as a stock picker’s market, says investor John Bogle.
Amazing collection of photos of libraries: Browsing the Stacks: A Photo Appreciation of Libraries.

This is great too: A Visual Guide To Europe’s Member States.
Another day, another free award trip using British Airways Avios flying AA from NYC to Detroit. As son decided to stick around more in NYC to look for housing options when he starts his new job next year.
So saddened to see the three terrorist acts committed in the US last week. Can you imagine our President’s reaction if they were done by a non white person? Phuck it…

I think there is too much fun going on over the weekend so readers are justifiably slower to start the week 🙂
For Ramsey: This is why only morons take credit for short term stock market gains, sad!

Good morning. Please let’s stop talking about Azores. Don’t want them to become a new Iceland. thanks!
Buzz-
You missed on this one. As I am sure Ramsey would point out, President Trump is only in charge of market gains, and he deserves all the credit for those.
Market losses are a whole other area and Trump has nothing to do with them. Probably the Dems, or the media or his former colleagues and lawyer awaiting sentencing and pardons.

Not sure where your 50c per 1000 page views from Adsense number comes from.
I just had a look at our September numbers and we are well over 10x that in terms of revenue per page view. And it’s not as if we go heavy on the ads.
Sorry, that was for Charlie and his piece on bloggers. If BA is telling him that Adsense will only get him 50c per 1000 page views so they are ‘better’ then he is being told big porkies 🙂
That was off my old GA numbers before I joined BA. with a site of your size, you are definitely going to do better than small sites with Google. Also, your target audience involves higher paying ads as well.
BA takes a 90% cut on ad revenue?
What? No, I was referring in my comment above to before I went on BA. I’m sure ad rates as a small site with Adsense have fluctuated since then but my cut from BA ad revenue is definitely better than what I would ever get on my own now. BA definitely doesn’t do 90% – far less but I can’t really say what. I will say that their cut is quite low for what they provide.
If I ever make it to BA…can you put in a word for me not to be placed next to Rene, thanks!
NOT Fake News:
It is amazing how deflated it is to check on my Amazon/CC conversions every morning…
November 12 is my 6 year anniversary blogging here.
It is time to find something new to do you guys…
#AboutToEvolveAgain
P.S. Can the corp behind conversions take my links away for failing to meet the monthly minimum quota for two months in a row now, come on!
P.S2: I hope Trump gets booed today in Pittsburgh! He watches FoxNews and calls the other media fake news….WTF!!!!
Good read: “How an outsider in Alzheimer’s research bucked the prevailing theory”

Thanks a lot, it is in the queue.
Wife was finally approved for the Hyatt card. The days of ChaseInstantApprovals are long gone it appears. I kept calling 1.800.432.3117 to check on status of the application. After being stuck in the “30 days” mode, I finally got the “You have been approved” message.
Only question remains…will this be the last conversion EVER?
