google adsense sparklines

“since a couple of weeks, the infosthetics website contains a sparkline diagram of its relative daily Google Adsense earnings, updated hourly. in contrast to the quite static ‘unique visitors’ graph, this sparkline is more volatile & shows more complex patterns that are interesting to grasp. it is loosely based on a script that creates an Adsense RSS feed. instead of a RSS file, it now parses the data into a sparkline.”

Tribeless

“Something sunk in a couple of weekends as I attended DCamp. I am without a professional tribe. This realization has grown as I attend various industry events. I’m just not really grooving with the crowds I’m part of.”
