Why is Popeye on Google?

That’s what you might ask if you happen to visit Google’s home page today. Its logo is replaced by a doodle of Popeye the Sailor Man about to eat his fill of spinach.

Why is Popeye on Google?

You will find the answer if you hover your mouse over it. It says, E.C. Segar’s birthday. When you click it, you will be directed to the search results page for the name E.C. Segar. But who the hell is E.C. Segar?

My First Infolinks Payout

Category: Personal

For my making-money-online venture, I don’t rely just on Google Adsense alone.

Yes, Adsense is my bread and butter but in order for me to maximize my income, I utilize other advertising networks as well. There are also times when Adsense ads won’t show up due to some “stop words” that can trigger the commercial ads to be replaced by public service ads. Like this post I made about Marge Simpson’s Playboy spread which contains some nudity (NSFW).

So even though Adsense ads won’t appear, I have other alternative ads. I already mentioned Chitika from which I received my first payout after 4 months. The second income generator for me is Infolinks.

TUF 10 Heavyweights: Finale

Watch The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 Finale

After 12 episodes, the UFC-produced reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights is finally coming to an end with its season finale on December 5, Saturday 9:00 PM PT/ 8:00 PM CT at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

At the first semifinals bout held during Episode 12, Roy “The Big Country” Nelson used his belly to pin James McSweeney to the ground in a crucifix position and threw 21 unanswered punches to McSweeney’s head which prompted referee Steve Mazzagatti to stop the fight at the 4:11 mark of the 1st Round awarding a TKO victory to Nelson. Incidentally, that was the same technique used by Nelson against Kimbo Slice on Episode 3. Afterward, UFC President Dana White said that The Big Country finally impressed him.

In the other semifinals match, Brendan “The Hybrid” Schaub and Marcus “The Darkness” Jones clashed it out. Jones started strong and was able to full mount Schaub but the latter escaped. At the stand-up position, Jones delivered a knee to Schaub’s head which momentarily staggered Schaub. Schaub came back strong with a right hand that sent Jones to the canvas. He immediately unleashed a flurry of punches to Jones’ face and the fight was stopped at the 2:11 mark of the 1st Round by referee Josh Rosenthal awarding a KO victory to Schaub.
