Does it sound weird for a title? Well maybe. But it happens to me as much as it happens to you. I’m sure.
I meet me and you meet you.
Let me put it this way: I meet myself and you meet yourselves.
Still confusing? I assume you know what I’m talking about by now.
Well. For those who still have no clue, let me say it straight: we all change on a regular basis. Whether on purpose or not.
Quick example: New Year resolutions. Those of you who do them raise your hands. Millions of hands in the air. No. Don’t put your hands up for Detroit! We all love their city but I’m trying to be serious here. Sigh.
Talking for myself? I change a lot. But usually unintentionally. During the past few months? Extremely. I’m not going to go into the details but mainly my way of thinking has changed. My views for many things have changed. Sometimes I’m being too indifferent. Things that used to bother me don’t anymore. Most of my hobbies have changed. I’m becoming more and more interested in technology. The World Wide Web has become my Whole Ride Head.
Art: I’m appreciating paintings, books, and sculptures. I’m observing.
Beauty: I have not seen any ugly girl for the past few months (except for most of the silicon girls). Yes. I’m not joking.
I’m blogging. Who would have thought?
For all you readers out there: a revelation. I’m not totally right in the head. I have changed as a newborn grows.
Allow me to relief myself again. We all change. No? No matter how old we are, we constantly change. I guess life experiences contribute a lot in that.
People change but the greats will always remain great. People change but the sunrise will always remain in the east and the sunset will always remain in the west.
I still want to know what’s exactly on “The Other End of Sunrise”.
Someday I will.

Time vs Clicks
Hey guys. It’s me. Dany. Blogging.
Yes. again.
A new big thing is being discussed lately. I’m not sure if you guys heard. In case you did, just ignore this post and consider it as a simple duplication of information.
Make me feel I did something important by writing this post. Or you know what? Don’t worry. Send me your nice comments telling me how I wasted your time.
Anyway. Let’s make a long story short and get into the subject.
The new big thing I was telling you about is that online advertisers will start being charged for the time visitors spend on their sites and not for the number of clicks they receive.
It makes sense in a way. Those of you who click on ads by mistake, raise your hands.
I do ... I do ...
Now. Wait a minute. Is it good or bad news for the advertiser?
The answer? I have no clue. Maybe because not much information has yet been communicated.
Imagine the advertiser paying the same charge for the initial click and then paying an additional charge for every additional minute the visitor spends on his site.
And counting! That could be very bad news.
On the other end, imagine that the advertiser doesn’t pay for the initial click and pays for the first three minutes the same charge as one click in the old system. Wow. Now that could be interesting.
Hey. Don’t start dreaming. I’m sure some of you guys almost had an orgasm here.
The idea is there but the approval is still not. Big players like Google Adsense™, Bidvertiser™, Kontera™ and others will definitely have something to say about that. They will put some input into the whole thing and certainly come out winners and much stronger than they were.
Yes. There are strong people in this business.
Just a small overview on big financials:
Google's partner sites generated revenues, through AdSense programs, of $1.20 billion, or 37% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2006. This is a 50% increase over network revenues of $799 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2005 and a 16% increase over third quarter 2006 revenues of $1.04 billion.
Example of a Google™ partner site?
The Other End of Sunrise
If you click on the ads in the right column, then you would be contributing in the $1.20 billion mentioned above.
It’s up to you …
Cheers.
Yes. again.

Somewhere In This World - Someone To Remember
05:53 am - Landing zone (7 minutes early on schedule): The soldiers get off the helicopters.
06:03 am - Landing zone: Soldiers take positions. It’s too quiet. It doesn’t look good.
06:11 am - Landing zone: Still quiet. Something should be done.
06:14 am - Landing zone: Captain orders a move. Soldiers march carefully. It’s complete silence. Even the slightest heavy inner-breath is heard.
06:16 am - 300 feet to landing zone: Complete chaos. Bullets flying in and out. Soldiers running in all directions. Soldiers laying down. Some shot dead. Some wounded. Others praying.
06:24 am - All around: More soldiers laying down. Mothers, wives and children are remembered.
06:41 am - 200 feet to landing zone: Fire stops. Captain orders regrouping. Just a few soldiers show up. Casualties are heavy.
…
Yes. God created wars. And for that he created guns and bombs. Enemies and allies. People die and others survive. But how do they survive? Wounded. No solider makes it home unharmed.
We live in a world of violence where prides are prioritized for the sake of interests. Wins and losses arise but sadness prevails. Countries achieve but families lose. Mothers lose sons. Wives lose husbands and children lose fathers.
We are never in a position to realize that we are our enemies’ enemies. Do we realize that our enemies have some of their own? Do we realize that tears are dropped on the other end as much as tears are dropped on ours?
Until this day, prayers have not prevented wars. Have not ended killings. We have seen wars and never stopped seeing them.
Prayers should be used to forgive the people who order them. The world is a lesser place without the soldiers who dye everyday in the battle fields. Presidents claim sending peace by sending soldiers. Instead peace should be sent and taught to those presidents.
…
The captain died later during that battle. A hundred seventy one other brave soldiers died that day.
06:13 pm - Years later. Somewhere in this world: The soldiers are remembered.
Respect and affection.
