What to do with my blog?

I am waiting for my machine organization section to start in about half an hour. I came across a blog talking about how to make money from blogging. I started thinking about generating income from my blog. I would have to place some google ads on my site to actually generate any money unless I wanted a private person to actually pay me for what I am saying. This does not seem likely as me specialty is not writing, but programming. The number of professional sites in existence that already describe programming practices and techniques, it seems that the likelihood of being paid as an independent writer is not very high.

I guess the whole idea is pretty bad since I do not want to whore myself to this idea of blogging more than I already have. I love using it as a way to share what's going on with my friends and possibly other people around the interweb, but it may be that I get disgusted with it if I try to use it as a tool to make money. It is probably similar to other situations where people try to make money from hobbies. It seems that it is too easy for money to spoil what we enjoy and I don't necessarily want to do that.

So I guess at this point I have decided to not try and make money off of my blog as it may offend the people reading it.

In other news, I went climbing last night and I finally started to see some improvement from weeks before. Unfortunately at the same time I have noticed that my elbows begin to ache if I climb too much. I have talked about this with people and the injury is actually very similar to tennis elbow. From what I have read, the only way to heal is either get surgery or climb less frequently. Neither of those are options that I like. One woman from the climbing gym mentioned some herbal remedies, which I may try out. Chris told me about glucosamine for sore joints. I will have to do some more online research before I start taking it. Whichever solution I choose, I am going to have to find one soon since my brother and I bought an annual pass to the climbing gym. Now I am pretty much obligated to regularly climb at least twice a week, so that I am not losing money. Hopefully with improvement in technique and muscle development this problem will go away.

Time to go section for 378. We are going to learn about branching and looping in assembly language. Woohoo! Hey, why weren't you guys excited too? I guess I will just have to talk about it with Eric this evening, since he will put up with me talking about it. Maybe I will blog about it on my codespace.
