Burn Notice

USA Network's Burn Notice is the newest cable network series. And they're getting into the Spy business.

BURN NOTICE (bûrn nō'tĭs) n.

1. An official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable.

And that's just what's happened on the newest series. The main character, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan), while on assignment has received a burn notice. And now he's got to find out why. He's got to fly totally beneath the spy network radar to clear his name. So that got me thinking. What would I do? What would I be doing to ensure that no one knew who I was while going about my investigation?

I would be a master of disguise. I would refer to the skills of the other spy's that I've observed and be able to change my appearance with the simplest of materials. I imagine myself being discovered and stopping ducking into the nearest drug store to see what I can get. Wrapping paper would make a great wrap around skirt. We know they sell different kinds of panty hose and tights so that would be easy. Find some funky hair pieces and putting them here and there. Some nice big sunglasses and a big bag and I'm done. Blend in with some group while getting out while they're searching for the person that I used to be.

OH I want to be a spy now. I would of course have all the best gadgets that you can get on the black market at my disposal! Whoo! I can't wait! I so know what I want to be when I grow up.

So check it out and live out your Spy fantasies through USA Networks Burn Notice.

I've said it before.......

and I'll say it again.

I HATE SPIDERS!

So the other night I was in Beaumont as I am every other weekend trying desperately to get some sleep in the overly cold room that is Chad's. I finally doze off to dream of working, with Ellen Degeneres no less, at some kind of school carnival. Well we're working away and I get sent to the back room to get something that we've run out of. This dream has gotten pretty fuzzy but this next part I am having no trouble remembering.

I go to the back to get whatever it is and I'm hunting frantically. The next thing I know I discover a GIGANTIC spider in the back room. And I mean gigantic. This thing is at least 6 ft from leg to leg and I can't handle little ones let alone spiders that are big enough to eat me whole.

I'm scrambling over pallets and crates trying to get away from the Monster Spider only to hear this overly sweet voice coming from the other side of the room. And who is it? It's Ellen. She's calling to her pet spider. Yes. I said pet. Why did she bring this thing to a kids carnival? I don't know. But she's over there kind of bending down and clapping her hands the way you would for a dog and calling this "things" name. I don't remember the name but we'll say she called it Fluffy.

So I'm cowering in a corner hoping that this stupid spider is going to finally answer his owners calls when I FELT this thing touch my back. When I say felt. I felt it. Not just in the dream but when I was awake. I leaped out of my dream state and out of the bed in one motion, which is really easy when you're sleeping on an air mattress. I was looking frantically. Maybe Grayson was trying to wake me up. Nope. He's silent. Not waking up at all. Chad is at work. This spider really touched me!

I'm shivering right now thinking about it. I can still feel it touching me in the middle of the back now! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So this is for everyone once again. I know it was my dream but I'm taking this as my chance to remind people. Especially you people with spiders name Charlotte. I hate spiders and if they touch me I will kill it. I don't care! I hate them. They scare the crap out of me.

Ok. Done.

You feeling Lucky?

NO! Not like that! My beloved Pay Per Post has acquired 7 million in additional funding and they are spreading the love. Between noon today and this time next week they are putting up an additional 7K in post opportunities and I intend to get myself a piece of that pie!

But that's only 7k! What are they doing with the rest? I know. There's people to pay, and bills to pay and just the general overhead of running a company but come on! Put some more money out there. I'm just a little bit money hungry? Can you tell? Give me something to write about. I love Pay Per Post and that it's so easy to earn a little extra money so keep it coming.

Actually how abut putting a little toward launching a notification system. Email us and let us know when new opportunities are available! I would be checking my email all day to the tune of a cash register ringing in my head. Whoo Hoo.

The PayPerPost Revolution Accelerates, Sponsored
Blogging Marketplace Secures $7 Million Series B

Draper Fisher Jurvetson leads round and joins Board of Directors

ORLANDO, FL – (June 12, 2007) – PayPerPost, the leading marketplace for advertisers to reach bloggers and other consumer content creators, today announced it has completed a $7 million second round investment led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an investor in the company's Series A and one of the world’s leading high-technology venture capital firms. The financing brings the total amount of capital raised by PayPerPost to over $10 million, giving the company considerable resources for further development as the industry’s leading Consumer Generated Advertising marketplace. Additional participants in the round include existing investors Inflexion Partners and Village Ventures as well as new investor DFJ Gotham. With this investment, DFJ Managing Director Josh Stein also joins PayPerPost’s Board of Directors.

“PayPerPost created this exciting new advertising space and has established itself as the industry leader,” said Ted Murphy, chief executive officer of PayPerPost. “Although we’ve only used a portion of our first round capital, this added support from investors unlocks significant growth potential. Our content creator and advertiser ROI metrics clearly demonstrate the upside for PayPerPost’s model. We intend to use this capital to build the infrastructure, visibility and professional expertise necessary to reach and retain a greater network of advertisers and content creators than ever before.”

Since its founding in June of 2006, PayPerPost has signed more than 6,500 advertisers to its groundbreaking service, which has enabled Consumer Content Creators to be compensated for their efforts discussing specific companies, products or services via blogs, videos or other media. The content creators are required to disclose relationships with advertisers on their blog, providing transparency for the end reader. Over 125,000 Internet postings, most in the form of blogs, have already earned money for their creators through PayPerPost’s innovative marketplace. PayPerPost recently released PayPerPost Direct, a disruptive new service that allows advertisers to contract and negotiate directly with individual bloggers they identify through a safe, managed system.

“PayPerPost has laid a strong foundation for the future,” noted Tim Draper, founder and managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. “It continues to attract a critical mass of participants from both the advertising and blogging communities. Analogous to Overture’s sponsored search model, we believe PayPerPost’s business model holds disruptive potential and will enable the company to thrive in the evolving paid-content arena.”

To mark the $7 million dollar funding, PayPerPost has launched a new website detailing the company’s service offering at http://www.payperpost.com. Bloggers and advertisers can easily sign up at the site and begin leveraging the self service marketplace.

It's One of Those Days!

So I get up this morning and Grayson is all sunny! He has his breakfast with minimum fussing that he got Corn Pops and is dressed and ready to play outside. He gets out there only to be pushed into the wading pool! Argh! He's on his 2nd pair of play clothes and it's only 10 in the morning. So we get him changed and I tell him he needs to stay inside for a while because he wasn't supposed to be at the pool to begin with. And so begins the whining! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOU WHINE! Period. I don't care if you're hungry, you just had breakfast. I don't care if you're thirsty, there's juice on the table. I don't care if you want to go outside. You didn't mind and stay away from the pool when I told you to so you need to keep your butt inside for a little bit. Learn your lesson.

So that's the first couple hours of my day. Keep your fingers crossed that the next few will be better!
