For a long time, I resisted putting ads on this blog. Mainly because I didn't think enough people came here to justify that kind of thing, but also because I thought it would kill whatever cool factor the blog had. Then two things happened in quick succession to make me rethink the matter. First, The [Legal] Artist was mentioned several times on the popular legal blog Above The Law, driving an unreasonable amount of traffic to this site. Second, a friend reminded me that I'm about as square as they come and that I have a family to support.
