My new favorite snack
Melon pan from Maido in Narberth, PA. They make tasty okonomiyaki too.
Maintenance Screens and Updates
“Web 2.0″ sites always have better maintenance screens when they go offline than big companies. PayPal smashed some red text in my face about site unavailability, while Lijit gives you a video to watch:
I won at Jackpot Rewards
$10 in this week’s guaranteed winners drawing at Jackpot Rewards, the online lottery site I wrote about a few months ago. I’m still gaining entries into the weekly drawings for hundreds of prizes, including a $145 million jackpot, with the help of the network of friends that joined through my referral link.
If a $3 [...]
The Website Revenue Maximizer Kit
I’m a little late mentioning it, but I was an expert reviewer for SitePoint’s latest kit, the Website Revenue Maximizer.
I got my name in the credits, a mention and screenshot of W3Counter in the appendix, and a few other bonuses for myself. It’s a huge binder and CD with information, forms and reference for [...]

My First Ray Tracer
Quite tangential to everything else I’ve been doing recently, I wrote my first ray tracer in C++ today. It can render arbitrary triangle meshes defined in SMF format. Next weekend I’ll teach myself shading.
Just checking in…
I heard back from UPenn — I was accepted into the MSE program by the Computer Science department. I haven’t heard from the other schools I applied to yet.
W3Counter’s got a new website ready to go up getting committed to the repository now. I need to finish the changes to the service that go with [...]
$1 Million Weekly Lottery
A new company backed by investors Peter Lynch, Chuck Clough (the former chief global investment strategist of Merrill Lynch) and other big names from the Boston area offers a $1 million weekly lottery with a guaranteed winner. The site claims the best odds ever of winning a million dollars, and also runs a drawing for [...]
