How to Destroy a Conversation

in

I’m gonna lead with the thank-yous this time.

A big thank you to Bacon, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Explosives for having sponsored the comic for the last two weeks. Thank you to all of you readers who went and checked out the blog during the sponsorship. He says he had a nice bump in traffic in the last two weeks. If you’re interested in sponsoring Basic Instructions, please drop me a line.

Thank you to everyone who has used or is using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada). They are performing well enough that I’m seriously considering removing the traditional pay-per-impression ads from my site permanently and just throwing up Amazon banners to products I personally like whenever I don’t have a sponsor. That way I know there’s never an auto-playing audio/video ad, or an ad for something I don’t want to endorse.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the comic. Progress remains slow but steady, which is fine by me. I’ve moved the progress meter to its permanent home in the upper right-hand corner of the page. From here on in, expect a brief progress report once a week. For the numerous people who have contacted me expressing concern about using Paypal, I am looking into options. You are not being ignored.

How to Share a Meaningful Insight

Basic Instructions is generously sponsored by Bacon, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Explosives: The blog about livin’ la vida Northern Idaho!

First, for those of you who don’t know who Bob Ross was, here’s a taste.

Fans of Wil Wheaton (There’s a divisive way to start a sentence! There are two possible reactions, you either ask “Are there fans of Wil Wheaton?” or you immediately say “I am a fan of Wil Wheaton, please proceed.”) will remember that I made him an Infini-Tee which was given to him as a gift by Paul and Storm. Well, an iPhone developer named Michael Zoellner has made the following, which I think is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a very long time.

The Amazon links (US, UK, Canada) continue to bring in extra cash, as does the donation button, thanks to all of you. The subscription service continues to gain ground at a gradual but gratifying … (what’s a word for “rate” that starts with a G? Think Meyer, THINK!) … rate. We're up over 250 subscribers!

Yes, I know I said I was going to start making weekly announcements about the subscription service rather than mentioning it every post, but it was pointed out to me that people who read the RSS feed were hearing about the service without seeing the place where you actually sign up for it. So, I’ve embedded the subscribe button below. Enjoy, and thanks for your patience and support!
