Why Didn’t I Think of This?

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.

Free Stuff

I’ve got some stuff that needs to go, and I just don’t feel like putting it on eBay. The items came from our lost and found here at the office, they went unclaimed for three months, so they’re going in the garbage if nobody claims them (and I’m certainly not giving them to Goodwill).

Here’s what I’ve got sitting here (all “as-is” as I have no idea if any of it works, and I’m linking to a site-customized Google search for reference on each part that I have a model number for, just to experiment with the custom Google search). Either you come pick it up at my office, or PayPal me the shipping to ship it somewhere.

  • A Canon Camera Battery Charger (Model CB-2LT)
  • A Motorola Phone Charger (Model PSM468OA)
  • An iPod Power Adapter (Model A1003).

NEED: Basic, No Frills, Dial-Up Service

I’m setting up a computer for a friend of mine who wants dial up access where she’s at (she’s not online much, and can’t get DSL, etc… where she lives). It’s been a long while since I’ve shopped for Dial-Up service, so I post here: I need a cheap Dial-up service that has local phone numbers in Bend, Oregon. I don’t need any of the fancy crap that gets installed with many of the providers (I’ll install my own pop-up, spam, virus, and spyware blocker, thank you). I just need good, reliable, dial-up access.

I have a back-up account through Surf Best that my in-laws mostly use (and I use it when I’m on the road and can’t pirate a connection from somewhere), but I just wanted to know if there was anything else out there that might be cheaper.

Any recommendations?

Just Go BIOYIOP

Did you know BIOYIOP means “Blow it out your I/O Port?” I didn’t, either, nor did I know about 90% of these chat acronyms. Of course I spend as much time in chat rooms as I do reading Xanga.com blogs (read: none).

Know Your Geography

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed.”

“OH NO!” the president exclaims. “That’s terrible!”

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands. Finally, the president looks up and asks, “Just how many is a brazillion?”

Thanks Barn for the joke.
