When you are working with true professionals, one of the best things to do is to ask them to choose for you. Japanese have a special word for it – “omakase“. When you say “omakase onegaishimasu” in a sushi bar, the chef will create a custom meal for you, based on the freshest and the best ingredients available at the moment.
If you ever give your money to Warren Buffet, your hair to Jonathan Antin, your floundering computer maker to Steve Jobs, the choice of where and what to eat to Tony Burdain — they’ll do a good job. Doing the same with any stock broker (is likely to churn your investments or worse ), the Supercuts barber (might style you ala Gates) , Carly Fiorina (might make poor H and P spin in their graves some more) is a capitally bad idea.
For a while I’ve been running Amazon’s “omakaseTM” ads on my blog, and I’ve got to tell ya, they stink. I, personally, would fire the business dev suit running (or rather running into the ground) Amazon’s Associates program. This person is never going to be fired, because by it’s nature, Amazon Associates is an amazing thing, one of the best business ideas that Amazon ever implemented. It’s like an Abrams M1 tank – even a drunk moron can drive it around and do a lot of very impressive damage, but it takes a highly trained soldier to really unleash it’s true destructive capabilities.
I am very disappointed in Amazon Associates products, especially omakase, and because of that I am building my own Amazon Associates ad server in my spare time. Lately I haven’t had much spare time, so the project is moving rather slowly. I’ll be pulling omakase ads off though, and meanwhile I’ll replace it with a holiday gift for my readers.
I will replace the ads on my website with promos for some blogs and websites of my readers (as well as some of my favorites). Do you you have a site you’d like to promote? Comment here or send me an email. Suggest as many as you want. If you have some “creative” – that’ll help. And if you won’t suggest anything (as it usually happens when I ask for suggestions) and make me feel very sad, instead of promoting your sites, I’ll do the same with all the splogs that sometimes spam me. At least they take the time to leave a comment.

I just found your blog today, thanks to the Dugg Starbucks siren article. I have a website called Photocase.com, we’re based in Germany and we are for the most part only serving German folks. We think people in North America would like Photocase too but you never really know. Most Germans I know don’t like Root Beer for example and it’s a pretty popular drink in North America.
Anyway, if this offer still stands it’d be great to be included. If it’s way too old and you’re not doing it anymore, maybe you could take a poke around photocase.com and see what it tastes like to you.
thanks,
peter
Sorry, I’ve been a bit busier than I anticipated. I’ll get around to this pretty soon, though.
Sure thing. I’ll probably get around to putting ads this weekend.
I’m thinking of promoting some of the less-well-known blogs I read, but not in ads.
Hi Michael,
What a great opportunity! I have been enjoying your blog for about a year now – I am also a Brooklyn College alumni and I am very familiar with the parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan in your photographs.
I am currently in Seattle and would like to promote my online jewelry gallery / store B.Dina jewelry (www.bdina.com). B.Dina jewelry features limited-edition and one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry created by independent artists. The selection is purposely diverse and fresh exhibiting work by up-and-coming artists as well as seasoned contemporary art jewelers.
Тhank you,
Dina.
