It came to pass

Well, that happened faster than I expected; guess I should’ve been paying more attention.

Amazon has chosen to kill payment for its California affiliates. At this point:

  • All the links at the AAUGH.com store still work, still send you to Amazon. It won’t generate any money for me, but that’s fine.
  • All the links to books on the AAUGH Blog still work, but will send you now to Barnes & Noble, who does give me a cut.
  • All the links to things that aren’t books on the AAUGH Blog will send you to a page on Barnes & Noble’s site letting you know that they have no idea what you were looking for.
  • A “tip jar” has been set up on the left margin of blog.AAUGH.com, for those who want to throw money in the kitty.

Some of these things will be changing as I have time to fix them and figure out ways to serve both you and me better. Thanks for sticking by me – we’ll be back to our usual nonsense very soon!
