Having run Google’s Adsense for a few months, I am dropping it from the site.

I don’t have any major expense, other than time, to offset on this site.

More importantly, I didn’t care for the ads being displayed.

If ads ever appear on my site again, they will be for products and services I believe in completely.

In my opinion, ads on blogs reflect the author.

Some of the products and services (other than my own) I do recommend are:

• Apple Computers (Mac OS X, Xserve, Mac mini and Powerbook)
• Hostedsolutions.com
• Basecamp by 37 Signals
• TextMate
• Ruby
• Ruby on Rails
• Lighttpd
• Firefox
• Tinyurl.com
• NetNewsWire
• MarsEdit
• Bizfilings.com
• Godaddy.com
• IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads
• Ubuntu Linux

I would add MySQL, however, with Oracle acquiring both InnoDB and Sleepycat, PostgreSQL is looking more attractive each day.
