I was able to take a number of cool pics while we were there. This particular one is pretty funny to me. Personally, I need a little more compelling reason to stay at a Motel than they were offering.

I wrote a quick blog post about this picture over at the DDS blog too.

So, I’ve had a few questions from folks about how I’m getting MacMall, Amazon, iTunes, and other businesses to advertise on my family blog. The reality of it is this, my business, Digital Design Solution, has established several Affiliate relationships, which include MacMall, Amazon, iTunes, and 37 Signals. The relationship works like this; we place their ads on our blogs and websites, as more and more people read our blogs and visit our websites, they click on the ads and buy things. Once they make a purchase, we get a percentage of that purchase. At present, it’s pretty much a tip jar at best, but our hope is to work towards make it gas money and eventually earn some significant income from these Affiliate relationships.

That having been said, almost everyone buys books from Amazon and music from iTunes. If that’s you, we’d appreciate your support. It’s as simple as getting in the habit of heading to this site or over to the DDS site when you are ready to make an Amazon order or purchase some music from iTunes. From there, click the appropriate ad and once you are in the Affiliate website, we get a commission on everything you buy during that visit. As well, if you or someone you know is planning on buying a Mac anytime soon, please send them our way as well. MacMall has some awesome deals most of the time and we also have an Affiliate relationship directly with the Apple Store online.

So that’s my sales pitch for the week. Stay tuned for some more baseball news shortly. We’re preparing for our trip to Cooperstown, NY, where we’ll play baseball for a week and enjoy getting to finally see the Baseball Hall of Fame. I’m looking so forward to having that experience with Stephen.

I ended up checking Stephen out of school and taking him. My business partner came along and brought his son as well. This is what happened between the 8th & 9th innings.
