A New Position
On Monday, I was offered a position as a moderator of the AffSpot.com forums, and I accepted! AffSpot is a community of affiliate marketers, managers, merchants and networks - everyone involved with the affiliate marketing industry (I’m refusing to call it “performance marketing” for as long as I can) is welcome to participate.
At just a hair over two months old, AffSpot is already growing by leaps and bounds. We’ve got more than 350 members, over 750 threads and more than 4,500 posts. We’re ranking well in Alexa (which, I know, isn’t exactly the most reliable stat) and we’re on page two for the very competitive “affiliate forum” key phrase at Google.
If you’re in the industry, or even if you’re just curious about affiliate marketing and how you can earn money online with it, come on by and say hello!
Art That Doesn’t Suck: Tribute to Felismina Roderick
This week’s featured art is Sunset in Miramar, Portugal by Fernando Cruz
Two days ago, my grandmother, Felismina Roderick, died at the age of 85. This week’s Art That Doesn’t Suck entry is dedicated to her. I’ve chosen a piece of art from our family’s - on my mother’s side - ancestral home, Portugal.
Life is far too short. Don’t take anything for granted.
Prices for prints of Sunset in Miramar, Portugal begin at $9.34, subject to change.

There is Never Enough Time
I’m trying to stick to a weekly schedule for updates here or else I wouldn’t bother. Today, it’s going to be very short. My grandmother, Felismina Roderick, died last night at the age of 85.
Please, take care of yourself and your family, because there’s never enough time. Don’t take anything for granted.
Political Thought For the Day - Disappoint Your Opponent
There’s a principle in poker that says it is best to determine what your opponent wants you to do, then disappoint him. This very neatly explains why Obama did not choose Hillary for his VP running mate. Simply put, the Republicans wanted Hillary.They have 16 years’ worth of material worked up on how to take her down and that’s just counting her national presence since 1992. It’s high time the Democrats stop giving the Republicans what they want.
It’s true in poker, and it’s true in politics: disappoint your opponent, win the battle.
Twitter: Google Killer?
Okay, maybe not a true Google killer, but allow me to share what just happened to me.
I installed the new version of iTunes earlier today, and I noticed a little while ago that the annoying little store links were showing up again in the tracks. Even more annoyingly, it seems Apple has removed the option in the Preferences to not display those silly arrows. My first instinct was to go a Google search, which, (probably since iTunes was just released,) turned up nothing. Then I thought, maybe someone on Twitter is talking about it. I went to http://search.twitter.com and searched for “itunes link store” and the second tweet I was showed had a link to a web page that described how to get rid of the stupid arrows.
Twitter, FTW.
Incidentally, if you’re running iTunes 8 on a Mac and want to get rid of the store links, it’s a one-line copy/paste into a Terminal window to take care of it. Check out http://bit.ly/3gBJ2V (thanks to @pjbeardsley).
