Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I consider myself earwormed for the month, although this is a big month for earworms.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse, what kind of money does the affiliate link to Amazon generate? Would it be worthwhile to pimp it for the holidays? Like putting it on the front page? (I was considering buying a new tv.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, thank you! I keep meaning to make an announcement about using it.

Who are current stompies? I think the header is out of date. What skills are needed to be a stompy?

If b.org has a CMS, I could stomp. I have a fair bit of time on my hands and experience in Drupal, Wordpress, and a couple of custom systems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, we are so not a CMS. Hand-stitched from the deepest layer.

Thread created.

I'm curious about the money the Amazon link brings in as well. I've been doing a fair amount of Amazon buying, and the affiliate link is my toolbar link to Amazon.

Over the past year, we've made as much as much as $93 in a quarter, as little as $16. So it's a good chunk of change!

What are our operating expenses a year?

A little more than $300 -- our hosting is $25/month, and there's some costs for renewing the address and stuff.
