I’d like to add that in the future, the space formerly dedicated to Google’s AdSense program on my website will be devoted to promoting the projects I’m currently involved with, such as Smyles & Fish and Bloody Mary. Until then, however, those areas will be left blank as a stark reminder of the events of March 27-28, 2006.

Thanks to Valleywag for the increased traffic. Now if only there were some way I could get my Google AdSense back. Oh the irony is delicious!

Mike,
I am interested in purchasing some products and/or services. Do you have any advice on what I should purchase, based on the kinds of things I enjoy seeing on your site?
