Hey, What's With the Ads?

Yeah, I signed up for Google AdSense tonight, so you'll start seeing an ad or ads showing up after some of the posts here. Hopefully the ads won't be too intrusive. I don't expect to actually make any money off of this blog. I am kind of curious about how this Internet-advertising thing works, though, so I figured the best way to learn about it would be to get some first-hand experience. And hey, if I do end up making a few bucks, great! Any little bit helps. If not, no big deal. I'm not about the money. I'm all about the writing, man...the writing!
