I did an experiment a few months ago by putting some google ads on my blog. I was just curious what would happen. I replaced one of them after Katrina with a more worthy cause than my own, but left the others there. I have basically forgotten about them until I had a nice email from DonXML with some suggestions about how I could make the ads more effective.

This reminded me to go check my earnings. Here's where they stand:

You can't collect on this until you reach a certain amount  (is it $50? I forget). Maybe sometime next year, I'll collect the $50 and donate it to a local Vermont charity. I get free hosting from Alentus (thanks Alentus) so I have no real need for the adsense anyway.
