I’m delighted to announce that we’ve just added a new award winning site to our network, Say No to Crack a humor for all ages blog. I’ve been a fan of SNTC for a while and when the opportunity arose (and it being the end of my tax year) I just couldn’t resist.

Just Turned Down $200,000 for Coolest Gadgets
It’s been a funny old time, I’ve turned down two interesting offers for Coolest Gadgets in the space of a week, I won’t say I’ll never sell but it’s worth a lot more to me than was on the table.
Much more importantly (for me anyway) I’ve just launched another site, Self Made Minds which is all about making money on the Net (my second favourite past time after gadgets) and will include a full history of how CG became what it is in the past 18 months (traffic, revenue, mistakes, warts and all).
Sorry for making this a bit of a “me” post but I’ve also just been interviewed about CG by my good mate Dan over at Daily Blog Tips, it’s in part of his interesting blogger face off series and I was up against another mate Vic, the master behind Uber Review, as it’s a face off competition I need votes so please check it out 
So if you want to make (more) money on the Net check out Self Made Minds, read the quick fire interview go here or read more about cool gadgets scroll down.
Thanks for reading this somewhat self promotional post.
