Rick: Let's see what the competition looks like today... oh, good. Only 118,673,465 blogs still up. Jeff: How's the blogging going, Dad? Rick: Okay, I guess. I'm piecing together a living, but only barely. Turns out all those years at the Post count for very little... it's tough to leverage a byline in a media environment where anyone who can TYPE gets a byline! I'm competing for eyeballs with millions of narcissists... almost none of whom expect to get actually paid! Jeff: Whoa... that sucks, Dad. Rick: Sure does. Jeff: Want me to take my blog down? Rick: No, no, son - you're raising my game.
Heh. I’m tempted to plug my blog, just to increase hits, thereby increasing the chance that I MIGHT actually get paid someday! ;)
