Many eons ago, in a moment of inspiration I decided to supplement my meager salary by implementing Google's AdSense on my blog. I reasoned that people visiting my blog would be so enthralled by the words of wisdom they came across that they would happily click on any text ad that showed something remotely connected to my posts. But after more than 6 months my 'earnings' are virtually nonexistent to say the least. I was shocked. Horrified even. Was there anything wrong with my posts? Naah, couldn't be. So I checked the kind of ads that Google had deemed suitable for my site.
Go through the list below and then ask yourself whether AdSense should be renamed AdNONSENSE or even AdCENTS.

Comment: Mr. Wannabe-Novelist... did we even ask you for your opinion? More like 'The End' of your literary career.
No wonder I haven't earned enough to even pay for one month's broadband connection rent. Larry & Sergi, give me a break. Stop talking about saving the world. Instead save your company and give us relevant ads.

Hole in the Sky
Ever wondered why your life feels incomplete? You know, like something is missing and you cant seem to figure out what that might be. Well, pull out the single malt scotch and grab a bean bag. Coz it aint you that is going nuts. Its the whole world, oops galaxy, oops Universe. Yes thats right. The Universe.
Turns out that some geek called Rudnick who seems to think that we can find answers to our questions by staring at far off balls of gas and rock has discovered that there is actually a 'hole in the sky'. Apparently it is nearly a billion light years across. Now the moment one geek says one thing, there will be hundreds of others who oppose him. Been happening right from the time someone said that the earth aint flat.
The Practical Preacher thinks that there are more important things to solve on this tiny planet of ours before we go around mucking up the Universe. For instance, the electricity in NOIDA where lights go out every day. Or why we continue to slaughter whales and gorillas. Greedy pigs... oops, sorry to the pigs.... Greedy primates. Thats what we are. P2 couldnt care less about holes in the sky . He's more worried about the hole in the ozone layer. For all we know, it could places where the Silver Surfer (Fantastic Four) visited. Yawn. Lets focus on issues that matter.
Damn, there go the lights. I really need a generator!!

Green Computers
This has to be one of the most innovative ways of campaigning for a greener tomorrow. Greenpeace has begun a campaign for greener electronics. They've targeted the iPod and are try to convince Steve Jobs and gang to build a 'green' iPod. Pretty cool idea.
Broadening the scope of the campaign, Greenpeace has this page which allows u to send an email to all the big computer manufacturers' CEOs telling them to wisen up and smell the salt from the rising sea levels. So to speak.
All you have to do is:

Dear CEO
When I next need to replace my computer I would like to have the choice of buying a greener computer.
Your company, along with others in the industry, has improved environmental policies and promised products free of the most hazardous chemicals in 2008/9.
My challenge to you is to be the first company to put on the market a computer entirely without the worst chemicals (Brominated flame retardants, Polyvinyl chloride) to clearly demonstrate your leadership in greener computing.
Yours sincerely,
