where the magic happens 
Blogging has been real good for me. It started out as a creative outlet way back when, then I met and got to know other bloggers, some of whom have become real life friends. And as mentioned in my latest podcast, blog advertising has also given me a nice little side income.
And this is the latest toy that I’ve bought with that side income: an LG 20″ widescreen monitor, $299. This is on top of the camera I bought in May for $399 - a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7.
The ironic thing is, if I wasn’t a blogger I could have made do with my older camera, and if I wasn’t spending so much time in front of the computer, I would not have been tempted to upgrade the monitor.
Oh well, never mind. I’m now working towards the funds for my end of year holiday.

Congrats. It’s nice to be able to earn some cash off blogging. I’m still working towards my first paycheck.

Great that you can write about things you love and get toys on the side.
Methinks you need a new keyboard though! The one in the pics looks like it came from 1995
