The idea of this website is that anybody can buy the space on the page to place whatever kind of content they want on it. All you have to pay to own the space is $1 more than the last person paid.

So far, the site is up to $8, so it’s not at all expensive yet. Of course, as this site gains in popularity, the price will go up.

This might be the perfect opportunity to buy it now while it’s cheap and get your advertisement for your own site up there. Cement yourself a page in this site, before you can no longer afford it.

I can imagine the owner is really hoping it takes off too. At this time, he’s made about $28. Not much, but at least covers more than the cost of buying the domain name.

I think this is an awesome, creative idea.

The Last Page Standing Experiment

Although you can usually get stuff for much cheaper online if you do some price comparison shopping as compared to going to the local Best Buy, sometimes I just don’t like waiting for it to come in the mail.

Maybe that’s why I’m so broke…

Anyway, Milo is a cool new product search website that will search all of the local stores near you for in-stock items.

This is really handy if you’re searching for something that you’re not sure is carried by a specific store.

I have a perfect example of when I could’ve used this too. My little sisters birthday was last month and we wanted to get her this little fashion suitcase that we knew Target carried, but when I went to the Target nearest me, they didn’t have it. After that, I went to a bunch of different places with no luck.

We got her a skateboard instead…

That actually turned out to be a good thing though, because she wanted one really, really bad.

OK, back to Milo. Use it.

Searching For In-Stock Items at Your Own Local Stores

If you’ve got some downtime at work, why don’t you try doing a jigsaw puzzle online?

Smartkit calls themselves a “puzzle playground” and rightly so.

You can choose from a variety of puzzles to put together and four different dimensions of each. The larger you go, the more pieces you’ll have to work with.

Once you start, you can change the color of the background and you can show the full size picture for a little help. There’s also a timer on the page so you know how much time you’ve wasted so far.

Have fun!

Doing Jigsaw Puzzles at Work

I’ll always remember Halo 3 because of it, that’s for sure. That commercial made me want that game really bad!

So anyway, I heard the song come up on XM Radio the other day, and I was interested in seeing what kind of cover songs there are, and it turns out there are quite a few interesting ones.

There are also a ton of regular plain non-interesting ones too, but I tried to gather up the most original covers. Check ‘em out below.

Interface - Dust in the Wind
Here’s your standard electronica version. If you like techo, you’ll probably like this song. I thought it was ok, but I’m not really into this kind of techno music.

Metalium - Dust in the Wind
When I first saw the name of this band, I was thinking they were heavy metal so I was excited to hear this cover, but it turns out that this is just a plain cover of the song. Nothing special here, as far as I can tell. I would love to hear a metal version if anyone knows of one though.

Daughter Darling - Dust in the Wind
Here’s a catchy, pop style version of the song sung by female vocalists. I thought it was an interesting take on the song. I enjoyed it and I like their version of the violin solo.

Gabriel & Dresden - Dust in the Wind
Here’s another electronica version. I actually like this techno sound much better than the first version I posted. I really like this one and it’s probably my favorite cover of them all.

Sasha and Shawna - Dust in the Wind
This version is another one sung by a female vocalist. I thought it felt extremely calming. I couldn’t find a video to this version though, so you can listen to it over at Songza.

Pensando en ti by Mago de Oz
This is a cover from the Mexican band, Mago de Oz. It’s a cover of the song, although they have changed the name to Pensando en ti, which means “thinking of you.” I thought it was great hearing Dust in the Wind in Spanish.

Interesting Covers of Dust in the Wind

It’s crazy! And very sad about all three of them.

Anyway, instead of feeling down today, let’s enjoy some of Michael’s music, shall we?

Here’s my personal top 10 list (in no specific order) of Michael Jackson’s greatest songs:

Dirty Diana

Earth Song

Baby Be Mine

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

Off The Wall

Billie Jean

Beat It

Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

Thriller

Black or White

If you wanna see the full word, check it out here. Looks like spam to me.

So what about the longest word that IS included in the dictionary? This one is bit more manageable to read and pronounce. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is 45 letters long and is the name of some kind of lung disease.

The challenge?

Use both of these words in a conversation today.

Watch a video of Joanne Colan, formerly of Rocket Boom, describe the longest words in English and attempt to recite the 189,819 character word.

Puppets Teach You How to Cook Shit

So he’s not the best rap artist around, or even a slightly talented rapper, but he’s funny. I like the way he dances during his chorus line too.

Be warned though, that his lyrics aren’t family friendly so listen quietly. Your probably could’ve guessed that from the name of the song, but I thought I better warn you anyway.

To me, this seems crazy that so many people don’t really get it, but I DO know that’s it’s real because I still can’t get my family to use Firefox, because they just don’t understand.

I just installed Firefox on their computers so that I can use it when I’m helping them fix something and then they can stick with Internet Explorer while I’m gone.

It depresses me a little, but I can deal with it.

Are you kerning perfectionist? Do you know what kerning is? Basically, kerning is the spacing that occurs between letters. If you’re a designer and I’m not being precise enough about the definition, I’m sorry. You can help define it in the comments if you’d like.

So now that you know what kerning is, check out MaxKerning.com. This guy is a kerning perfectionist. More like an all around perfectionist actually. He reminds me of Monk. This guys is very entertaining.
