Understanding the accumulation of data

Disclosures

In keeping with my philosophy of transparency regarding external influences on this blog, I will keep this page updated with recent sources of income, favors, and gear.

Advertising

This blog costs a bit to run now that I’m well past 100,000 pageviews per month. Therefore, I’ve implemented a few features to help pay the bills:

  • Amazon Associates links for items sold by Amazon
  • VigLink associates links for other things
  • Google AdSense ads
  • Direct advertisement clients:
    • SNIA (former)
    • SolarWinds

Gear for Review

Vendors often contact me to review their gear on my web site. Although I’m flattered by this, I cannot possibly spend time examining and posting reviews of everything I get. I also often write about interesting gear based on my own purchases, only to have manufacturers contact me later offering additional equipment.

I have recently received the following gear free of charge:

  • ioSafe SoloPro
  • Cradlepoint MBR1200, power adapter, antenna kit, and PHS300 case and battery
  • Seagate GoFlex 1 TB drive, Pro 500 GB drive, cables
  • Iomega ix4-200d
  • Iomega USB 3 SSD
  • CalDigit USB 3 PCI Express Card
  • MeteGeek Wi-Spy

I’ve paid for pretty much everything else I write about.

In summary: Send me your equipment if you want, but I won’t guarantee to write about it. And I’ll write about other stuff (and pay for it out of pocket) if I want.
