(false advertising)

i just noticed that i can have ads on my site. not that i want to sell out or think that enough people read this that it's worth anything to me. in fact, i pretty specifically don't want ads on my site.

there more to it though (which ultimately culminates with my decision to enable ads). for one, i think that ads actually tend to inform a site's content. you write about haruki murakami and get links to buy his books. and then there's the unintentionally fitting ones, like links to rehabs clinics and crisis centers beside elliott smith lyrics on songmeanings. finally, i'm curious what they'll come up with. i've written about all kinds of fairly irrelevant and esoteric topics (see: drowning cats, mike draper), so who knows what inspiration i may derive from adsenses machinations. i'll find out in the next 48 hours, at which point i may or may not end the experiment.
