Rorschach: The only contract I ever had expired around august of last year. It was a simple four month exclusivity and NDA agreement. As for the “paying the bills” that joke’s semi- for my own amusement. While I wouldn’t object to anyone hitting the tip jar, I really don’t think I provide a service worth a whole lot. I provide it (the Wish List and tip jar) to facilitate other people’s insanity.

Other than that, there’s absolutely no explanation whatsoever.

Okay, maybe the fact that I’m totally bugfuck nuts and people love a good trainwreck.

Hey bud, I hear where you’re coming from…. Blogging is not likely to pay the bills anytime soon.

I know you are a member of PJM too (junior member =D) and I’m not sure what the contractual agreements are, but if they allow it you might want to check out Blogburst, it is a combinantion aggregator/newswire of collected blog posts. It is run by Pluck out of Austin. Evil Dwight posted about them last week. It is a beta service right now, but they intend to sell the feeds to dead tree media sites. The business model as it stands is that after the beta period and a market is established, then they will pay you for any post of yours they sell.
