My entrepreneurial spirit

LessonSeek.com has launched!! Someone clicked an ad, and I made my first 6 cents!

Of course, it cost me 67 cents of Google ads spending to get that 6 cents...

Two notes - I don't see the Google Ads on my site using Firefox, which isn't cool. [They're there, I just had ad-blocker on my Firefox] Second - to my friends, don't just click the ads! Google kicks people off the ad network for exhorting others to click on ads.

Facebookin'

When you're looking up friends on Facebook you never know what you're going to find. Like a group devoted to hating a friend of yours (or at least a person with the same name)

Some other interesting finds below. I blurred the names to protect people from the massive scrutiny that would come from being mentioned in my blog, of course.

Jake - is this a pic from sophomore year with Neal?


Frank - I knew him when...


Negin?

Optimal smoking

Tim Hartford answers the question, "So at what age could I sensibly start smoking in order to achieve sufficient pleasure to make the shortening of lifespan worthwhile??"

If you’re 20 years old and smoke in full defiance of the risks, you still have a chance to look brash, daring and just a little bit sexy. If people see you smoking at 60, they won’t realise your brilliance in taking up the habit at age 58. They’ll simply assume that, pathetically, you’ve never been able to quit.

My advice, then, is that the optimal consumption path for cigarettes is either never to start, or to start young and stop fairly quickly.

Nice, me. Still, I can't wait to take up smoking again at age 70.

Here's the link to Tim Hartford's writing, which I recommended to a friend recently. I've blogged about a post of his before.

Online dating

Not the best ever, but let's just say the topic is hot among my crowd.
