State of the Rob 07162008
* I'm going to take another step in monetizing the site more than I am now starting tomorrow.
* That will be lead off with weekly graphic novel reviews that will have the option to purchase the books from Amazon. I'm sure I won't get rich off of that, but I'm putting it out there. The first will be the last two Jonah Hex collections with the beautiful Jordi Bernet art.
* The next thing will be an effort to up my hit counts on my stuff here. I've got a pretty ambitious plan in place that will start to be unfurled over the coming weeks but the gist of it is that I'll be paying people to link to my site. Cash money, playas.
* I'll also be updating my comix section to monetize that a little better as well. I need to talk with my tech guy to get that worked out.
* Are y'all enjoying 'Too Soon' so far? It's a slow build but you'll start seeing the pieces coming together in the next month. There's a big payoff coming, don't worry.
* Last weekend Katy and I were in Columbia for family stuff and we went to this amazing brewery called Flatbranch that had maybe the most interesting beer I've ever had. It was a green chili brew and I shit you not, it tasted just like green chilis, even with a little spice to it, and damn it was good. They also had a fantastic stout second only to Guiness, and I'm kind of a stout expert. They had a sampler of six of their brews, probably ten ounces each, for under six bucks too. I got nice and tight for less than one beer at a bar in the Power and White district. Deal!
* Have I mentioned lately that I love Indian food? Because I do. I love Indian food.
* Burn Notice is back on the air!
* Mad Men comes back July 27th!
* I'm going to be out of town Thursday night through Sunday. I'll be able to update the comic every day, but the archive won't get updated until Sunday after tomorrow. Don't lose any sleep over that, alright?
