I got a notice from Google about my Adsense account. You can see the ad’s there on the right..(maybe) I have owned this site for several years.. I don’t blog on it much anymore. My brother uses it a lot – he is a film buff and enjoys reviewing movies .
So anyway Google sends me an email…
One or more of your sites has been in violation of AdSense policies.
Huh? What the heck are they talking about? I go over and look! Here it is! Yes.. My old blog… Violating Google Rules… What is it?
Well….The Email says:
AD MISLABELING: Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way.
How am I doin that? OH…. It said ‘KEWL’ above one ad. And ‘Stuff” above another.. It can’t say that. It has to say – Advertisements’ Or ‘sponsored links’ 😉
OK… I’m glad we got that cleared up. I have had this site up since like 2008. Hmmm 8 years. Sorry I didn’t wanna break any rules…Good they got around to telling me.
I took a quick look at my balance while I was fixing the problems.. A grand total of $76.66
It’s money in the bank……

The (trivial) setup in Reaper (Photo credit: Roo Reynolds)
Back in the music lab again…Recording my latest and greatest masterpiece… It is yet ‘untitled’ Maybe I’ll just keep that name for the record. Uh……..?
I must begin by saying that getting this 6 year old macbook is improving my lab tremendously. I have sought out to do some DAW recording now that it’s the computer age…But the PC hassles just seemed to be too much… I had recorded other songs.. Like one that my friend Neal wrote.
It was recorded on a PC using Reaper DAW software. It came out pretty good.
At any rate… I was having to many troubles at the time… And no energy to fight the computer issues…
I actually have video of some songs on my Youtube Chanel. . Including the one above… If your interested. I may blog about each one of them one of these days… – Whatever
All I know for sure is that those tracks can never be finished because I had the files stored on an external hard drive that was stolen by a past acquaintance. Hey… I luv them dudes and dudettes from my past… I just can’t chill that way anymore…
Why?
There’s to much life left in me… Ya know what I’m sayen?
So.. I have a 2008 Macbook… A Shure SM58…. An LP worth of electronica that I worked up with Acid years ago…And a fresh copy of licensed Reaper installed. And I’m laying down tracks… Cause Macbook and Reaper is where it’s at.
Hey…What else is there to do? I got something to say after all!
Do YOU?
Send me some files of you saying silly stuff… I put it on top of these techno tracks… Ya know? Blah blah blah…..

So if any of ya’ll visitors commented and your comment “disappeared” into thin cyber space I am truly sorry. (more…)

You ever call a customer service line and get the ‘automated’ machine? I think it’s funny. I’d like to give an example of what happens when you do this. Please be sure to let me know if you can relate! (more…)
