Targeted ads is abusive by design. A website, app, or service can advertise just fine by knowing themselves and their customer base. Otherwise, ads can be “targeted” to the content of the page.

How I made almost $40,000 selling my card collection on Ebay
Bottom line, I found out my card collection was worth a LOT which made me nervous. I couldn't afford to insure them properly and I didn't want the risk of them getting stolen, damaged, etc. So I sold them and made enough money to buy my wife the truck she'd always dreamed of!

I made a video explaining how to make a Star Trek Original Series Vulcan with Phaser rifle in City of Heroes. It’s fun to run around and blast things in character while saying on-theme things like “illogical” and “beam me up” 🙂
Ohmu-Rice – The best Ghibli/Japanese Food Mashup
I'd been thinking about this pun for a while – mixing the giant Ohmu from Nausicaä with Omu-rice (egg and rice omelets from Japan). I set to work designing it and think it turned out really well!

Today, I had the misfortune of copying files from another computer on my network only to discover that they, and all folders below them, had been tainted with the Windows "group by" feature for some reason.
