Hey, dja remember that Million Dollar Home Page guy? Just skimming through, I found bits of his weblog quite interesting, including the animated gif of the sale of the pixels, and the story of the hackers who crashed the site and made a ransom demand. I remain astounded that this scheme worked (the page not the hacking), and even more astounded that there are people who ripped off the idea and also managed to sell advertising space. It's a big internet, go figure.
