Battle of the Blogvertisers!

I've got a new article up at Associated Content: Making Money From Your Personal Blog: PayPerPost Vs. LoudLaunch, comparing the two blogvertisers and what they each have to offer.

In other news, today I'm feeling decidedly bleah.

More Than Hotel Reservations

Sponsored post alert!

In my vacation desperation, I'm wistfully making the rounds of the online booking sites and checking out the various hotel discounts. Hotel Reservations is a fairly new kid on the block that tends to get overshadowed by the creepy garden gnomes and creepier William Shatners in the neighborhood. Don't let the name fool you -- they're not just about hotels. You can also research and book flight packages, cruise getaways, and everything else you'd expect from a DIY travel web site. I'm searching hotels in and around Chicago, and I found some great deals for three-star hotels that fit nicely into our budget... assuming we can work the getting there part into our budget, as well.

Take an Art Break

Sponsored post!

Russian Artist Victor Lysakov is a former Soviet engineer turned full-time painter. He's a celebrated artist in his own country, and I expect he soon will be pretty renowned in this country as well. For the first time he's making his work available to the American public. I've been perusing his web site, and I gotta say, I like his work. Some of his more traditional motifs remind me of Van Gogh, and his more modern expressionistic work has a vaguely creepy, ethereal quality that appeals to me. He uses a palette of rich, calming colors that increase the dream-like quality of his paintings, except for when he trades calming for disturbing reds and dream-like for nightmarish, as in The Abyss, which just might be my favorite. I especially like the way there seems to be a story accompanying each painting, as though he's captured a brief scene of something larger. If you're interested, quality prints, digitally replicated on museum-quality canvas, are available for purchase from the Lysakov Art Company.
