Welcome to Bits & Pieces! It’s where I post things that I find funny, amazing, interesting or that just strike me in one way or another. I like to think I pick out some of the best from other sites I visit and put them all together here in one place.
I scour the web, so you don’t have to. I know you and I won’t agree on EVERY thing I post, but just keep in mind that we’re individuals and you must have come here for something that you liked. Hopefully you’ll find enough here to keep you interested and keep you coming back.
A little history about Bits & Pieces:
I started Bits and Pieces way back in ’02 because I didn’t want to be that guy that was constantly sending friends things by email …. not knowing whether they really wanted to see them …. not knowing if it was too risque for them.
I had been a fan of J-Walk’s Blog for some time and thought “I could do that”. So I started Bits&Pieces on Blogger and let all my friends know where it was, so they could look if they wanted to.
It was pretty sporadic for a while… but after a year or two I began trying to post most every day. That’s when things seemed to pick up. More and more people were discovering Bits and Pieces which made it more exciting for me to do. I had a few posts that were picked up by Digg and Boing Boing and a couple of other more widely read blogs and the readers came more and more.
Then I decided to try to place some Google ads on the site as an experiment in April or May of 2007. From that point to the end of ’07 I made just under $1,000 in ad revenue. And I didn’t really have to do anything extra to do it.
Outgrowing Blogger and all my fun issues with GoDaddy.com have led me to the new site here.
I welcome you if you’re a new reader or one that came over form the old site.
Thanks for stopping by…. and come back often.

Hey,
Love the site. Check me out and add me to your blogroll if you like.
Thanks.
Jonco,
Congrats on the new site. You are a survivor!! I like your idea of widening the column, but I’ll still be here if you don’t. Your sense of humor is erriely like mine. You have yet to post something that doesn’t bring a smile or laugh. Keep it up.
Thanks

Glad I stumbled upon your site. A fun stop along the way.
Great blog! Reminds me of the days of getting stoned while working at Pantera’s Pizza. Party on dude.
Your blog is awesome. I have it saved in my favorites at work, and your blog is the first thing I read every morning! It wakes me up, and gets me started for the day. Keep it up!
I was just browsing google images and noticed your website. I will definately bookmark it because i always wanted to create a blog like this one. Great job!
I visit your site regularly…keep up the good work!
Dear Jon,
Just discovered your site. Fantastic! I already used the Life that Matters piece from AmyOop for a newsletter inspiration in my Rotary Club bulletin. I will be back to explore often!
But I, too, have a bit of a problem displaying your masthead. I see “Bits & Pieces,” and “We scour the web so you don’ ” — that’s all of your slogan. I’m using IE Explorer 7 on my 2002 HP Pavilion with its 15″ monitor. I have had no trouble viewing normally everything else that I’ve ever wanted. If this is unsolvable, that’s OK as everything else on your site seems to show up fine.
Thanks for a funny, valuable and very interesting website!

Hi Jonco,
Everything ok? The site disappeared for a couple of days – I had to entertain myself!
Jonco – How do I upload a thumbnail pic like others when I leave a comment?
You can email me with instructions if you’d like.

The little white silhouette thing just doesn’t get it for me. I want it to be a little more personable.
