@ Josh, that’s what I figured. Thanks for answering my questions!

@Gambort, that’s what I want to be when I grow up

Hi guys,

I am a builder, though I’m more interested in building the official sets than building MOCs. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to find time to build the 10188 sitting in my dining room.

For what it’s worth, and I should have mentioned it earlier, my co-writer is Joe Meno who most definitely is a builder, and a great one!

Thanks,

John

@Gambort – Is the online knitting community pissed off? What are your books about? I didn’t think they had virtual yarn, but I’ve been wrong before… :)

I think it’s funny that people are assuming he’s going to make money off this book.

I don’t have a real job. I write books cashing in on the knitting community.

@Zepher – Its the ads. We get a percentage for orders at Lego and a commission for click-throughs. Like I said, though, it pays for the blog. We don’t make a living at it. We all have “real” jobs. :)

Cool, thanks for explaining. How exactly do you make money? Ads or what?

@Zepher - we make enough to pay for the blog, with a little bit left over. Andrew actually wrote a post about what we plan to do with the extra. Its about half down this editorial. @sam42 - You did have a valid point. But I was a bit harsh too. I'm sorry for that. And I accept your apology. :)
