Support Different River
We now pause for this commercial message:
Blue Sky from American Express is a credit card designed to unlock the world of travel rewards. This one of a kind credit card offers members the opportunity to realize savings on any flight, hotel or rental car at any time, without backout dates or seat restrictions!
Of course, Blue Sky gives cardmembers flexibility and independence, too. Purchases can be paid in full or over time. There is no annual fee, a 0% APR for the first six months, and all charges are covered by the American Express’ Fraud Protection Guarantee. With Blue Sky, cardmembers can say good-bye to travel reward restrictions. The sky’s the limit.
How does this support Different River? If you apply for, and receive, that card through the above link, I will (allegedly) receive a small commission. I will apply to hosting and domain registration fees. (Hosting a blog is pretty cheap as hobbies go, but it’s not free.) In the event that I receive commissions in excess of my blogging expenses, I’ll apply the remainder to other worthy causes, such as charity, personal expenses, and income taxes. (OK, maybe that last one isn’t all that “worthy.”
)
Of course, you can always support Different River in other ways — such as telling your friends to read this blog, linking to it in your own blog, and so on. In fact, since I write this blog to be read rather than to make money (since I don’t, so far anyway, make money at it), recruiting readers would be even more supportive!
And of course, if you need any books, shoes, or computer equipment, you could also click on the links on the right sidebar below the blogroll. Thanks!

I never saw the ads at the bottom of your sidebar. Next time I order shoes from Zappos, I will be sure to click here first.

Thanks!
Maybe I should move those ads up a bit…
I was trying to avoid being “in your face” about the ads, but perhaps I went too far.
