Yes!

I started to make some money on Cashcrate. Took a while to get the offers and referrals sorted out, due to my location, but money's a-coming!

'Blasphemy' row over erotic shots

2009-08-02T15:05:00.000-07:00

This is ridiculous.

It's "God's masterpiece" but any attempt to capture it's full beauty is "blasphemous". I mean, really, the female body is sublime, and anybody claiming design would surely praise the design and, consequently, the designer, no? Why would a proud (and dammit, if the god of the bible isn't a proud bastard, then I don't know what pride is) be offended when someone decides to praise his work?

And, if he was offended, I would think a deity would be quite capable of saying so, instead of having old dolts in odd-looking clothes take legal action (which, in my experience, is a tortuously slow process). Surely a statement and a lightning bolt would convey the message both clearly and efficiently?

Note that I'm an atheist and I'm just trying to see it from a theistic POV. As usual, it's not making much sense.

Site Discovery: Cashcrate

2009-08-01T17:09:00.000-07:00

Cashcrate is a make money online website that works by having advertisers pay to have users try their products. When you complete an offer, they (cashcrate) are simply passing that money on to you.

The bulk of the offers goes to the US users and they can make hundreds of dollars on completing these offers. For non-US users, the referral system is the way to go: The referral program has two levels. You get paid 20% of what your direct referrals make and 10% of what THEIR referrals make. Members can make hundreds a month just by referring other members to the program.

The best thing about Cashcrate is that it's free, it's actually safe, it does not tolerate spammers (to me, this boosts credibility) and you can make a nice amount of easy money.

Definitely worth checking out.

New Find: Condron.us

2009-08-01T16:34:00.000-07:00

Condron.us

What is it?
It's a blog-surfing engine, a google of blogs.

How does it work?
I don't know. That's way to tech-savvy for me.

What does it do?
"It" (I presume that it uses bots or something) roams the net for blogs and archives them. Then, when you visit their homepage you get a a sort of slide-show/ tv channel that displays blogs long enough for you to decide if you want to read more or if you want to "blog surf" more.

An interesting find,to be sure.

Weird Christian sex website

As if things couldn't get weirder

Here's a sample:

Anal Sex in Accordance with God's Will

Are you saving yourself for your wedding night? The Devil wants you to fail, that’s why he puts stumbling blocks in your way. But God wants you to succeed, and that’s why he has given us an alternative to intercourse before marriage: anal sex. Through anal sex, you can satisfy your body’s needs, while you avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and still keep yourself pure for marriage.

You may be shocked at first by this idea. Isn’t anal sex (sodomy) forbidden by the Bible? Isn’t anal sex dirty? What’s the difference between having anal sex before marriage and having regular intercourse? Let’s address these issues by debunking some myths about anal sex and God's will.

That's not something you see everyday.

Cashcrate

Basically, you join up, fill the info required (name, email, country, address*,etc), and start completing offers, which are mostly free. Some aren't, some are free from CashRate but the offer company charges (example: sometimes they're software offers and you buy the software) and some are paying. You can ignore the non-free ones, of course.

They also have a referral system and it works like this, I quote:

The referral program has two levels. You get paid 20% of what your direct referrals make and 10% of what THEIR referrals make.

It should be noted that US-based users get a larger amount of offers when compared with other countries, so Americans have a really sweet deal with this.

Note: You will not get rich quick. This is an easy way to make extra cash, but it will not make you rich.

*They need this to send the check.
