I have removed the advertisements from this blog. Not because I worried about people not liking them (they were fairly unobtrusive). Not because they were slowing down the page load times (although they did, a bit). Not even because I felt that they were somehow impinging upon my editorial independence.

The perspective doesn’t match in that one either, but it’s not as bad as this. Maybe it’s just CAD geeks who notice this sort of thing?

I respect Roopinder, but this kind of “pure blogger” label irritates me. I have an ad on my blog [...] 25 March 2008, 9:12 pm | 20 comments | Tags: Advertising, Blogs, Ethics, Journalism, Matt Lombard, Rant, Roopinder Tara | Category: Advertising, Navel Gazing, Other Blogs, Rant I just spotted this image flash up on a banner advertisement on a CAD-related site.

Then I spotted Bentley logos elsewhere on the ad [...] 2 March 2008, 9:49 pm | 2 comments | Tags: Advertising, Bentley, Oops | Category: Advertising, Bentley, Fun, Pictures |
