irregular times arrow pathsIt is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

strange hourglass

If you want the money, work at Burger King.

Filed under Economy, Media by Jim at 11:14 am

A study estimates that the top 50,000 blogs generated $50 million in income for their owners.

Wow!!!! $50 million!!! Divided by!! 50,000! Oh, that averages out to $10,000 a year.

New Headline: Top 50,000 bloggers make less in annual income than burger flippers.

  1. ROFL, Someone is getting my $10,000 a year too!

    The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer

  2. Well done. You’ve uncovered the mechanism by which the tech bubble of the 90’s finally burst.

    Investors came to realize that website traffic is no expression of value. :)
