I'm looking at the Million Dollar Home Page [1], 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 26^th. 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!
