First check from Google AdSense

Today I have received the first check from Google AdSense. While these are good news, I am not shouting “WoooHooo!” unless I will cash it. I am not very experienced when it comes to checks and I don’t know how well the system works. I will visit my bank on Monday and will see how it goes. I’ll let you all know immediately when I’ll get the money. Meanwhile, please keep clicking on the ads of interest…

Peru and Ecuador pictures

Philip Greenspun has returned from a trip to Peru and Ecuador. He brought a whole bunch of excellent pictures with him.

Scarface

Today I wanted to see some classics, so I rented “Scarface” DVD. I have seen this movie plenty of times before. I even had it on video. That was way too long ago though.

The movie is based on a pretty regular “rise and fall” story. There is this guy who “rises” from nobody to a powerful drug lord. And then he “falls” and gets killed. The film is not so average though. First of all, it tells the story in a nice way and puts some romance into perspective. Secondly, Al Pacino delivers and excellent performance.

This movie is a must see for all Pacino fans. This movie is a must see for all fans of crime movies. This movie is a must see for all “movie drug scenes” fans. This movie is a pretty much a must see for a number of other reasons.

8 out of 10.
