I just saw a commercial for a new migraine medicine called Treximet. It is apparently the hottest new thing for bad headaches. The first side effect mentioned by the voice-over sounds just a little bit extreme, though. “Side effects may include sudden fatal heart attack …”
Call me crazy, but I can’t imagine getting headaches so bad that they make death seem like an acceptable risk. And do they really need to continue with the other side effects after that? If a potential patient is not worried about maybe suffering a sudden fatal heart attack, how is a “severe rash” going to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back? “It might kill me? Well that’s okay, but … wait … a rash? Oh, hell no. That’s too risky.”

Whoa. I don’t know how I haven’t seen this yet. Google lets you target specific sections of your page as more or less relevant to AdSense. This should be required reading for all bloggers and — hell — should be part of the default WP install …
What is section targeting and how do I implement it?

I just gave away my last copy of Adcult USA, so I zipped over to Amazon™ to buy two more. I’ve bought eight — eight! — copies of this thing since I first read it.

HTTP Ads just launched. I’m very impressed with the interface and site design. I’ve been reading about its development for some time and was excited to read that the service is now available. I’m going to do some more research, but it looks like it could be the next “killer app” for bloggers. Very interesting.

Has anyone caught the infomercial for Kurt Woodruff’s The Secret of Making Money on the Internet?
No, I have no idea who “Kurt Woodruff” is either.
With the notable exception of Planet of the Apes, I think the worst writing in the entertainment industry these days is being done by infomercial writers. Do they have their own guild? That would make sense. If you can’t get into the Writer’s Guild, you join the Infomercial Writer’s Guild!

If you live in the Gainesville / Ocala Florida COX Cable market you have a chance to see my mom on television. She’s in the currently-airing COX Happy Holidays commercial, sitting at her desk and waving at the camera. Wave to her and tell her how much you love being a COX Cable subscriber. Hi, mom!

Ron keeps asking me to create something like this. I knew someone, somewhere must have already done it.
