So you've already noticed my first writing nussance, the "...". I'll try to be sparce with it, so call me on it if it gets annoying.
Bear with the reorg, as I like to call it. This is going to be a comics blog, but I ain't throwing away all the old stuff.

Lame update.
So I haven't posted in a while. Why, you say?
Because things are sloooooow!
Sure, Readbud is a cool new site, and I've been trying to get some signups for peoplestring, but the real exciting stuff is the surveys. Earning $4 in 20 minutes is exhilerating, but I haven't been able to do many of those lately and therefore a lackluster mood has fallen on me. Maybe they slow down for summer.
On the flip side though, I have been actually getting alot of cash lately. I've got $55 spendable dollars at the moment and many bids ongoing at eBay, lol.
The only exception is Webperspectives, where I've been waiting for a month for a 300 point survey to clear. And what do I find this morning? A 200 point survey, that I finished a full week after the previous one, has cleared, still leaving me 100 points short of cashing out! **grummble**

My well earned money is slipping through the cracks…
So here’s how it works. As I’ve said, I report my earnings in USD. Why? Because most of it comes in that way, and I spend most of it that way, too.
Now you’d figure if I were to report something Canadian, I’d to a quick conversion to American when I earn the funds so I can add it to the list. The only problem with that is when I go to spend it. You see, it’s not the exchange rate at the time of earning that matters, but the exchange rate at the time of spending.
I just rewarded myself by buying the Lifetime Membership at comicbookrealm.com (don’t worry, the site is still free, it just gives me a cool little badge). But when the transaction was over, I only had 0.65CAD left (0.62USD), instead of the $2.29 I should have had, according to my spreadsheet of earning and spending. Since most of the funds on paypal were CAD at the time, I got hit had on a terrible exchange rate.
Now don’t get me wrong, the rate has been excellent lately, but I guess I’ve just been getting too used to it. In total, I lost $1.67USD. I split it evenly among my Focusline and Lightspeed earnings since they were the only two CADs I had at the time.
One new thing I've learned on this venture. Still worth it!

MyPoints: Spin & Win
I think the daily spin wheel is gone. Now I rarely ever won anything, but I did thnk I would be able to redeam the points for some money some day. It seams less likely now.
June Totals, a bit late...
Here's the scorecard for June.
$20.00 Focusline
$10.00 OpinionOutpost
$10.00 Clearvoice
$9.79 Ipsos
$5.00 Swagbucks
$3.45 Gagabux
$2.00 Neobux
$0.11 Buxism
Grand total... $60.35. Feels good, but I don't think it'll happen again next month. I'm predicting another solid $35-40. Feels great though!
