It's described as 'monetizing' now - selling adspace on your blog. I don't update often enough or get enough hits to bother anyway, but the term seems creepy to me. I have every wish to make a living from my art, but hosting random ads and then trying to lure my friends into clicking on them seems somehow wrong. Maybe if I was getting thousands of hits on all my various pages I'd think differently, but I hope not.
And speaking of selling crap, I went to a preview screening of 'Orphan' last night. Oh it's bad. People laughed. It wasn't a comedy. There was potential there but the premise was hackneyed and the plot was a mess. See review at http://rhum.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=484:orphan-film-review&catid=40:mr&Itemid=111
I got kinda stuck into it in the review but I don't think it's undeserved, particularly considering all the good films I saw doing MIFF reviews last month.

Rantings and ravings and musings and moments of silence punctuated only by the tap-tap-tapping of the keyboard. Welcome to the wonderful world of right here inside mmy head. There may be poems too, but mostly it'll be a journal.
About Me
- Steve Smart
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Poet prowling the night in search of wisdom or at least distraction from the relentless noise inside his head. But it's not all so bad, life 'tis beautiful for the most part. I've set up blogs before and then lost track of them (changed email addresses, lost passwords, just never bothered to post anything) but this one I'm going to try to stick at.
