Just a matter of time – in game Political Ads

Ok, darn, didn’t Google  just launch AdSense for Games – Google playing games on us? Guess so.

Earlier today I read about Ideological whiplash from Paul Krugman’s blog – in the past, I’d not been able to find the information, much less the same day – now I can.

South Park – the one in San Francisco, not the show plus Cento – the coffeehouse at the heart of Web 2.-

I was taking a tour of South Park yesterday, while visiting Buzzlogic.com offices and Quantcast – Friday was a very productive day for me, and then I had dinner with Gary and Grace Angel and their daughters – Gary dropped me off at the airport – which was really great.

Did it – figured it out. Now, I wonder if I’m right – soon we’ll know

I just wanted to post and date this – if I turn out to be right about the VEEP choice – I’ll be one of the first, maybe, the first person to predict it.

Webmetrisguru.com problems I’ve noticed since blog went live today

You never know fully what your working with till you’ve tried it at least one, or twice – and that goes for anything – as much as you prepare (or don’t prepare) there will usually be somethings, or many things, that are unforeseen like …. needing
