“There's a sucker born every minute.”
—David Hannum (and not P. T.
Barnum)
I'm looking at the Million Dollar Home Page,
where each of one million pixels are for sale for $1 a piece ($100 minimum
in a 10×10 block) and I'm simply appalled. The student has so far
sold over 120,000 pixels.
I'm not appalled that people are stupid enough to buy pixels for a buck a
pop. I'm not appalled that Alex Tew (the student running the site) has made
over $120,000 since August 26th. I'm not even appalled by the
garish looking picture of the million pixels.
No, I'm appalled that I didn't think of this first!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
