in louisgray.com: This Financial Scenario Says There Are No Experts on louisgray.com
I also lost a lot of money in the web 1.0 debacle, but how it changed my investment approach is quite the opposite of yours - I only invest for the long term (5 years plus), and have avoided individual stocks for the most part. A good example is our beloved AAPL which I've held since 2000.

From my perspective, this is just silly. I've moved totally to digital files, downloaded or streaming, for both music and video. I use iTunes to purchase both. Can we invent a new acronym: YAUPMF (yet another useless physical media format)?

in louisgray.com: Blogs' Never-Ending Battle of Page Views vs. Conversation on louisgray.com
My blog would be exactly the same without ads. It's a hobby, and I value the freedom of it not being a business. The biggest benefit: whatever I write about is what I genuinely think and am passionate about, not what I think advertisers - or even readers - would like me to write about. I wouldn't sell that freedom for any pile of ad cash.

Jason, you're one of the lucky ones. I respect those folks who can take a hobby and turn it into their career and passion, but as we know, there are compromises. So far, I've been lucky enough to not be pushed into the page views race. Visits are great, but conversations and ideas are greater.

Thanks for the friendly warning and tips. Being hacked is certainly a fear for any blog owner.
