I've sold out to the man

OK I'll admit it, I'm a dirty rotten capitalist. I've added a shop to the blog.
"Irish Taxi recommends" (in the column on the left)is a store linking to items stocked by amazon.
To be honest I don't expect to make anything from it, I just like to try things out, see how they work and what reaction they get.
So then, what's your take on that type of thing? does it go against the spirit of blogging?
Any suggestions as to what I should add to the selection? pretty much everything is available!
