This is great! Let's say these numbers continue the trend, and I end up with about $10 a day. Hey! That's not bad! My RackShack server is costing me $100, so I'll be making $200 a month off the deal. Neat!
Damn I wish they had done this *months* ago!
All hail Google! Google is Good! Google is Great! First it taketh away my ranking, but then giveth me back $$$CASH$$$ in return. Woohoo! I'll take it!

[Russell Beattie Notebook]
Hey Russ - I missing something here. How are you making 'all' this money? I don;t see any ads on your blog? Where are these click-throughs happening? Where are they?
Helping Big Dave.
Dave Jacobs needs a kidney transplant. "Can you imagine what it's like to bury a younger brother who died from the same disease that's almost certain to kill you?" [Scripting News]
Every day we are reminded that there's much more than RSS and weblogs. Let's hope that in this case weblogs will make a difference. Best wishes to Big Dave. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]
Today is BigDave Jacobs day at Marc's Voice. Hopefully Xeni and Doc will come through as well and we'll get this meme going.
Barcelona Street Scene.   The street performers here are almost as interesting as the architecture. The devilish character on the right in the top photo saw me taking pictures, and motioned to the donation hat in front of him and his partner. When I snapped another picture, he gave me the finger; unfortunately I didn't capture that move or I'd have posted it here. (I gave them a couple of Euros anyway, because they were good at their act.) [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]
Dan makes the scene in Barcelona.
Maybe he can make it to Madrid to meet Russell Beattie and grok what Russ is up to. At leats he's making money off of Google!

Matt Webb is back. Not sure what he has to say, but I BET it has something to do with FOAF, Echo and RDF.

 I finally I get to beat Howard Reingold to the punch. Here's a real Smart Mobsey kind of thingie.... (all in time for the Tokyo moblogging conference...) (unless of course he reported on it back in March and I missed it!)
The GoGame....
My buddy Dave OneBrick - turned me onto this coolio experience game today......
The Go Game is an all-out urban adventure game, a technology-fueled, reality-based experience that encourages hard play and a keen eye for the weird, the beautiful, or the faintly out-of-the-ordinary. The "rule book" is reality, the "board" is your city, and the "pieces" are the players -- you and your team.
Through clues downloaded to a wireless device and hints planted in unlikely places, you'll be guided through a city you only think you're familiar with. Clues can appear at any time, anywhere. Perhaps you didn't notice the woman on the bus reading a magazine upside-down. Or the note stuck to the side of the bathroom mirror of your favorite bar, or the electric scooter parked outside with your name on it. After a day of Go, you will.

Guan Yang: I Love RSS. Me too! [Scripting News]
I got a chance to meet Guan in Copenhagen. Really smart guy. Here's the comment I left on his blog.....
It is completely possible to make all sides win.
1. When Dave says that RSS 2.0 is frozen - he's saying that we need to maintain compatibility and not break software. Agreed. And that will stay true. So claims that Echo will kill RSS are absurd at best.
2. When Echo people call for something new, that does not mean "we hate RSS" - it means - there are a bunch of things that need to evolve and be added - and if RSS 2.0 is frozen, how do we do that?
3. Everything else is just politics, bullshit and a waste of time. Please stop.
4. BTW I don't hear about anyone complaining that Echo will kill RSS 1.0? Or even the older RSS .91 etc. It is perfectly reasonable that modern software packages can support multiple APIs and data structures. That's not rocket science. So everyone just take a chill pill.
It could be worse. You could have to hook yourself up to a dialysis machine every other day and require a kidney transplant!
RCN Offers Home Networking Package. In growing trend, broadband operator RCN offers home networking package: They'll install adapters and allow multiple computers on the network, while providing tech support for the basic networking function (but not file sharing or printing, wisely of them) [Wi-Fi Networking News] [Scott Mace's Radio Weblog]
RCN is 'gonna allow' multiple machines connected to their Internet access. How liberal of them. They just want an additional $15 a month. But you can't have more than four PC's attached.
In the spirit of Dave Jacobs, I'm going to stop posting about Echo vs. RSS and move onto something more important. If you're an "O-blood type" I hope you consider donating your kidney, too. I'm considering it for the first time, but I'm not an O. Can anyone who has donated a kidney send me email and tell me what the process is like? How long were you out of work?
[The Scobleizer Weblog]
Response from BigDave......
Hi Robert,
Thank you doesn’t seem enough. I really appreciate you helping get the word out.
You know most of us can be a living donor to someone and help save a life. There are currently over 55,000 people nationwide waiting for a kidney transplant and the list is growing exponentially. Even if you can’t help me, you can contact a transplant center in your area and offer to be a donor. And I always encourage people to sign a donor card usually found on the back of your driver’s license as well. To me it is a nice thought that if some tragedy happens someone might benefit from some part of my body.
Thanks again.
David
P.S. check out these links for more information on the donor experience.

Phone GPS. Dan Brickley: FOAF + location + photos... How about mobile phone + camera + GPS + RDFmap + ordnance survey data?... [HubLog]
I just love these RDF folks. They remind me of the dreamers of yesteryear. Nothing wrong with dreaming - I'm just wondering when the implementation/deployment phase starts.
Once SixApart ships TypePad - I think we can say FOAF has started. Morten Fredericksen has updated his FOAF Explorer tool - to enable "Add a Friend".
Coolio. Anyone can come to this page and 'Add me as a Friend'. We don't need no stinking Friendster!
Now we just gotta get FOAF to track beyond one level of connection.
Dave Jacobs needs a kidney transplant. "Can you imagine what it's like to bury a younger brother who died from the same disease that's almost certain to kill you?" [Scripting News]
As a reminder that all of this RSS stuff doesn't really matter in the big picture, I saw this post: "Dave Jacobs needs a kidney transplant." My best wishes to Jacobs. [Scobelizer]
On this day in Y2K, a birth notice here on Scripting News, for Dave & Amy's second son, Cassidy. "Ah, child of countless trees. Ah, child of boundless seas. What you are, what you're meant to be. Speaks his name, though you were born to me, born to me, Cassidy." BTW, John Perry Barlow, also a Berkman fellow, wrote the song. [Scripting News]
My own version of this story goes like this ---- for over 15 years Dave has known this day was coming. It's not something you can forget about, put into the back of your mind and store away or pretend like it's not gonna happen. Dave has known he was going to 'die young' since his father died young.
So the issue is: enjoy life now and live as long as you can.
We (MacroMind) stole Dave from Microsoft back in 1986. He was employee #435 - or something like that. I remember calling him up there - and he was busy helping Bill Gates' mom with her PC. In those days Gates used to roam the hallways of Microsoft checking up on who was still working - late at night. BigDave would almost always be there.
Dave is the utlimate gadget freak, a car freak - he wrote the Fetish column for Wired magazine - back in the day. He was employee #7 at MacroMind. He was employee #7 at Marimba. He is employee #7 of Broadband Mechanics. They don't make friends, people or humans like BigDave anymore.
But none of that says who Dave is. He's Marley, Cassidy and Meyer's father. he and Amy are about ot have yet another child (good luck Amy!) I raised my first set of kids with Dave and Amy and now we're raising our second set - as well. How do you appeal to teh blogosphere for help for your best friend?
You call up Scoble, Doc, Boing Boing - anybody you can - appealing for help! Thanks Dave for starting the meme.
