Calling it Quits!

Sorry people but with Epinions dropping our penny a view plan I have decided to stop writing.  I will continue to read and rate when I can, and you never know if customer support stays the way it is you may see one of my custom rants here or there. 

Epinions has grown to a point now where it is just not worth writing. I think the next step will be that they will discontinue counting the non member hits when calculating the income share.  In our best interest of course.

I am one of the few who will admit that I am in this program for the money.  The monthly checks were quite a nice bonus.   With my new schedule I just don't have time to write.  Some of you already know that I am saving up to buy a home and have had to work many extra hours to make it come true.  It is true however that I really enjoyed writing these reviews and I thoroughly enjoyed reading yours.

I want to thank everyone who has read and rated my stuff in the time I have been here.  There are tons of great writers here and I am sure many more to come.  I wish you all the best of luck.

Who Am I Really?
Well to start off with I work for a newspaper primarily doing the layout for the "Arts & Entertainment" Section, but I also write the movie reviews.  Most of my time is spent seeing movies (new and old) and working on the layout for the the next paper due out.  I mostly do reviews on older movies and movies you may not have seen since doing reviews on the new stuff may be considered a conflict of interest.  I also cannot mention what paper I work for since I do not want to complicate anything with the higher ups just in case they have a problem with me writing movie reviews for this site.   If you want to know more check out a pretty old review about this.

I used to work for a computer company doing troubleshooting, repair and upgrades, which is why most of my Epinions are on computer parts and software. I worked for a small company not a large chain and I have seen some strange things come through the shop.  This also is what lead to my dislike of the large "chain" stores selling people sub par computers with the guise of it being "top of the line". 

I know its a pretty strange transition going from a computer repair tech to a newspaper man, but actually while I was working for the computer shop I was actually volunteering (20 hours a week) at the newspaper FOR FREE!  They actually would not hire me because of lack of experience, but after telling them that I would work for free until I proved myself I was made a part time employee for 18 months before actually landing a full time pay position.  After 2 years of that I was made head of the Arts & Entertainment division of the paper, on top of being the new movie review person after the last person retired.  It goes to show that hard work and a little sacrifice can go a long way to earning what you want

Anything else you want to know about me feel free to e-mail me. 

 

What's Up With My Handle? (Destinys-Child)
Since I started here at Epinions I have received a few e-mails asking me if I was in the group Destinys Child or did I just love their music. 

The answer to both questions is NO!

My job is stated above and I am actually a fan or Rock/Metal.  Hip Hop, Rap and Country actually drive me up a wall.   The name Destinys-Child came about 5+ years ago when I needed a logon name for some service.  It was later used as my AOL name and then as my ISP name.  I made up the name long before the group became public and my only dread is that it is named after a hip hop band and not a metal band.
