If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Because I guess I'm just not all that smart. This guy's got one-million pixels for sale on his page. You can buy a pixel for $1 (in blocks of 100). Buy a big ad, or small, and you have the million dollar home page. He still has over 800,000 pixels left, but that means he's sold nearly $200,000 worth of space.
Still a damn brilliant idea. Anybody want to front $100 for an utterlyboring.com perma-link on there? The donate page is here.

My space has been claimed :)
Hoping that over 5 years the adsense revenue will make up for the initial investment... I'm sure it will

And I wish I had an extra $100, as I'd spend it on this.

The only reason I did it was because I had $102 in my PayPal account, and I had a couple beers...
I'm starting to wonder what the point really was. But am keeping an eye on my referrer stats and seeing if anyone is coming in... 5 years, it's gotta pay for itself... right?
