Or else, they will create one for you. That’s the truth.
Do you know who’s going to inherit the world? Arm dealers. Because everybody else is busy killing each other. That’s the truth.
Somewhere in Africa? Or maybe not. Probably in Eastern Europe. Let it be. It takes a single flight, a price list and here you go. The shipment will be on its way.
Yes. As simple as that.
In case the market is down? Well. Not that of a big issue. Few phone calls to big-shot politician friends and a war is announced. You realize that intelligence services are spread all over the world. And they do their jobs.
You know. Arm dealers have families to support. Yes. We should understand.
Kids get their books to read in some of the most prestigious universities in exchange for bullets other kids are shooting at each other. That’s the truth.
If it were for a certain cause? For people who’ve been resisting a tyrant enemy for decades? Why not. Unfortunately they need it. But does a ten year-old kid in Freetown need it? I don’t think so.
Death has always been a source of living to some people. Shall there be wars and killings, there will be big black tie parties and bottles of champagne being opened.
An expiry date in a certain part of the world is a fresh product in another. Why throw arms away. Instead they sell it and transfer it. But this shall never happen shall there not be conflicts somewhere.
Again. If there are any, they will create one for you.
And that’s the truth.

When I Met Me
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.
