success*
*. That’s what appears whenever I click a SocialSpark-sponsored link. No idea what’s wrong with their site, but that’s how I “stumbled across it”. I’m a bit bothered by the lack of opps I can take on SocialSpark, and thanks to them not telling me why, I’m not sure I’ll stick around terribly long. Can’t fix a problem if I don’t know what...
socialspark - more money to burn
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hi all.
Recently, I have been trying to make a bit of money for a few things, like, say, a Nook, and stumbled upon SocialSpark. Though I found it somewhat by accident, I was intrigued and did proceed to make an account, which was quite easy, and I like how the site works quite a bit. For those of you who...
hosting, etc.
Haven’t been keeping up lately. That’s a normal thing for me and blogs, the whole not-keeping-up thing, but I’ve been considering a Nook (like the Kindle, but better, for those who don’t know what they are) and working on webdesign. Got a new, $200 contract, which in my opinion should probably be worth more, but it allows me to get some very, very nice hosting for me and...
more music, anyone?
Haven’t posted in a while. Here’s some fun music, and I’m off to buy an Amazon gift card so I can buy a few Kindle books, thanks to the new Kindle reader for Android/PC, which I shall happily use.

linked, synced, and inked
I was intrigued by the idea of posting any song I happened to be listening to in Grooveshark Desktop, which has become my go-to application for music over the past several months.

reblogged
Looks to me like someone agrees with my music taste. My post involving Joe Metro by Blue Scholars a short while back got reblogged, and it appears that person also enjoys Modest Mouse. On account of this, more music is posted below.
scallops and snow peas
Ah, yes. A satisfying meal after a long day of doing absolutely nothing. Almost snapped a few pictures along the way, but forgot to take along my camera. Finally had a good experience with scallops though, at a local Asian restaurant called Chopstix Bistro. Tasty stuff. I plan to return for more some day.

Just noticed how amazingly good tumblr looks on mobile. Amazingly visually appealing on my Droid Eris.

today's beat
Fun song for those of us who appreciate truly good hip-hop, not the terrible stuff they play on the radio. Good lyrics. Good music. Have fun.

herein begins the blogging
Here goes tumblr, a likely more-updated blog than my Wordpress blogs in the past. This should go much better, since it’s going to be quite a bit more focused on photography and quotes rather than myself.
