It's slightly worth it
For extra cash, I did my homework and found a few places online to make some money.
Nothing that a REAL job would take the place of, but a lot of people can make $300-$400 a month doing a few of these sites.
One of them is this one:
You complete a bunch of offers- no money out of pocket. Add that in with several other sites that pay me to complete surveys, and you can make decent pocket change.
Of course ALWAYS, ALWAYS read all of Terms of Service and small print before joining a site. I spent a long time doing background research and talking to people before signing up. I can also verify that E-rewards is legit- I have gotten 2 gift certificates for Borders from them- $15 each.
Also Synovate is legit, as I have received and cashed checks from them as well. :)

Youtube
I am starting to get slightly annoyed with Youtube.
Nowadays every 5 minutes a video is disappearing due to "Copyright claim by WMG"
(Warner Music Group)
EVEN official videos! Concert footage. I mean, come on! It's not like I am downloading and keeping the material from there...what's the use of making play lists just to come back and 50% of the videos have been taken down?
Check out Amanda Palmer's blog for more (Yeah, she is a WMG artist herself and pissed)

Time for some new space
I decided to try to get everything in one spot, so I added links on the side for Myspace, Flickr, and Last Fm. Hopefully it all works.
It's Friday- and I'm not entirely sure of the plans. You know, since we are money crunching AND the city is not up and running yet due to the snow/ice storm we had.
A chance for another movie night is always acceptable by me, though. :)
Right now I'm having biscuits and Darjeeling tea and listening to music.
I'm still tweaking the codes- so more links should be available soon- just let me know if you come across anything that doesn't work.
