Upcoming trip to Colorado

Hi Friends,
The planning is done, hotel/car and flights are booked. Colorado, here we come! We are going to this gorgeous place for a three day trip.

We searched the net a lot to comeup with a good itinerary. Finally, this is what we decided:
See Colorado Springs (Garden of Gods, Pike Peak) on day 1.
See Independence Pass, Maroon Bells (Aspen), and Lake Dillon on day 2.
See Rocky Mountains (Trail Ridge Road, Bear Lake, Alpine Visitor Center, and Mountain Shadow lake) on day 3.

I will let you guys know how the trip went. Do pass me if you have any suggestions! I wanted to see Denver and Aspen for a long long time now, finally it will come true. I am so excited! The only worry is weather as Colorado is already getting chilly. We will be there from Oct 2nd-Oct 4th.

Adsense Update 2

Hello Friends,

I have crossed the $20 limit finally!! In total there were around 42 clicks on ads on this blog, which translates to 50 cents per click. I have also updated my account information etc with Google. So I should be receiving money into my account soon.

I have also created Google Analytics account. The information that I can generate from here is just awesome!! I can see from which city page access came - to what kind of internet connection the person is using! Isn't that just awesome? It is mind boggling and puts the whole privacy issues to perspective.

Anyways, I am thinking hard to create another blog or site that can generate actual money for me. Any ideas are most welcome! This is real deal!! If you have not tried it, please do! Micro blogging is the way to go, and adsense can help you generate good revenue. It has really impressed me, so give it a try :-)

Barack Obama and George Lopez?!

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that Obama is appearing in a commercial to promote Lopez's latenight show? I have been reading left's criticism of Obama - sometimes genuine and many times outright ridiculous. But no one seems to be talking about how inappropriate it seems when President of US is attempting to promote Lopez's show.

It's not that I don't like Lopez or Obama. I love 'George Lopez' show, and support Obama as well. Still, enough is enough. I have seen Obama appear on ads for Stephen Colbert, Conan O Brian, and now George Lopez. On top of that his dialogue is as lame as it can get - "George, you need to change to LateNight. That's the change I can believe in". I think a president needs to maintain a certain sanctity of the office, and needs to project an image of authority. With ads like these, no wonder many critics are treating him just like any celebrity. That is trashing his image whenever they get a chance.

It is time Obama puts his time into more pressing tasks at hand - stopping the divide that seems to be developing after his election, healthcare and ofcourse economic uncertainity.

Apple picking!

On Sunday Sep 13th, me and Reena went for apple picking trip. It was not just us, there were atleast 25 of us!! The place we went to was Joe Huber's farm near Louisville. It was a nice way to meet, have pot-luck and basically have a good time. As you can see in the picture, the food was awesome!


I thought that apples will not be good, but I was mistaken. The apples were just so delicius that we ended up buying some. Our friends were not as fruit shy as us. Many of them bought FULL packets. Well good for them, but I love paranthas in the morning :).. Anyways, one pic to end the post (courtesy of Shyam).. pls dont ooh and aww... :)

Adsense Update

As promised, I am updating the findings of adsense experiment. I received a total of 110 page impressions so far - which basically means my blog was viewed 110 times. There were 10 clicks on ads which generated revenue of $3.73. If you look at the revenue per click, it is pretty impressive. This definitely means that incase you are able to built a site which keeps people interested and has fair amount of clicks - you can get some green dollar bills in your pocket!

I will keep you all posted.
