Here's an interesting thing: If you surf the Internet for more than 5 hours a month then sign up with AGLOCO and get paid for it. There doesn’t really seem to be a catch (that I can see) and there's no spyware. Check it out!
Virtual Fortune for Virtual Goods

I'm a web a guy. I make stuff that goes on the web. I've been doing this for going on 8 or 9 years now. My "life's work" is web sites.
However, my life's work is simply 1's and 0's on a piece of hard drive some where. One big magnet could wipe all of it out very easily. Granted, the magnet would have to be used in several places and take into account all the backups that exist of various things, but it's possible. No hard-goods exist for all my efforts. All of the goods I've produced are virtual.
I get paid real money for doing this work, but after direct deposit and cashing checks, etc. that money, too, ends up on a hard drive somewhere. I hope to hell they have a backup! I view my accounts through online banking. It's a virtual fortune (and it's no fortune, mind you) for all intents and purposes.
Boil it all down, and I make web pages, then get paid for them and look at the money on a web page.
If I made ice sculpture, it would last as long, but be prettier. It makes me want to become a carpenter who only barters.
