Today I stumbled across an interesting website: The Million Dollar Homepage
What a great idea! This site creator made a web advertising space that was 1,000 pixels square and sold each pixel for $1. So to have a 10×10 spot (smaller than the size of my tiny little icon next to my page up there in the browser) you had to pay $100. Then to purchase larger pixel areas you just add another $100 for each 10×10 square. Well with 1,000,000 available pixels selling for $1 each the total value of that small single page is one million dollars. Such a simple idea, so easy to create! And now the creator is a millionaire with very little effort applied. Genius!

This Christmas I upgraded to the g1 running the android operating system. I have to say, it is the best phone I have ever owned. The flip open QWERTY keyboard gives it a huge advantage over the iPhone, although it does lack a multi touch screen. Android is an open source phone operating system which allows users to program their own applications. This has created a huge database of applications for users to choose from. I have downloaded and deleted enough apps that I could have filled my memory up 3x over! So today I’m going to tell you my best android application picks.
to download these apps browse to this page from your android device
application links only work on the android operating system
1. PostBot – This application gets the number 1 slot simply because I’m using it right now. It allows you to post to your wordpress blog straight from your android! It also lets you save and manage multiple blogs.
2. Task Switcher – A MUST HAVE application for the android. This program lets you switch between tasks quickly and easily. Once installed go to your settings and check Use Camera Button. Then you have easy access to your task swapping.
3. Sky Map – This application is so cool! And a great reason to take your romance interest “stargazing” at that secluded hill above the city. It connects with your GPS and phone balance sensors to determine exactly what constellations the phone is being pointed at at that time. Then you can simply pan your phone to view and pinpoint all of the symbols in the stars!
4. Twilight – As a photographer I like this application because it tells you what time the sun will rise and set each day. It also tells you dawn and dusk times. Great for making sure you catch that hour of golden light in your shoot.
5. aLastFM player – I love this application! I connect my android to my car stereo and then start up my personalized lastFM station and jam all day without commercials. The one issue I have had with the android is there is no way to charge the device while playing music. It needs a built in headset jack or a microUSB headset splitter.
6. Woot Checker – Get daily updates on deals from woot.com! This application keeps you on top of the deals as well as notifying you as soon as a new deal is released.
7. Locale – Tired of your phone ringing in the middle of an important meeting? Locale lets you set conditions for ring settings based on time, event or location. You can set it so your phone automatically silences when you walk into a movie theater or ignore calls from your boss when you get home.
8. RemoteDroid – Network your android device with your computer. Then use your keyboard to type and your touch screen as a touch pad. Requires that you have this software installed on your computer as well.
9. Tetherbot – This program requires a little bit of tweaking but it allows you to connect your phone to your computer and browse the internet through your phones connection.
10. Samuel Jackson Soundboard – There are a few soundboard apps for android including Arnold Sounds and Mr T. Samuel Jackson is my favorite and works great for prank calling your friends on speaker phone.
Well there are a ton more cool applications for the android but these are my choices. If you have favorites you feel should have been included in the list feel free to mention them in the comments.
Today I’m going to tell you about my top 10 websites. So get your web-surfing finger primed and ready to click.
Featuring flying monkeys and bags of crap woot.com is your place to find the deal of the day. Every day a new deal is featured. They also feature deals on t-shirts and wine on ShirtWoot and WineWoot.
While your checking out the deals on woot you ought to check out the deals at

After all that shopping I’ll bet you need to just sit back, relax and watch some funny videos on
CollegeHumor.com is a place for you to waste hours and hours of time at work when your boss isn’t looking. They feature the best videos on the internet as well as make their own original comedy shorts. They also have a nice collection of hilarious photos that readers have uploaded. Great place to waste time and get a good laugh.

They don’t have the 42″ 3D television available on their website yet but it should be available soon (starting around $4,000) They do have a 3D computer monitor that is quite impressive. Their products work with innovative lenticular technology to create the 3D effect.
I also discovered a new online digital art gallery that is worth checking out:

Come on down the the Burleson warehouse for the Austin Underground New Years Eve Party!
The winter solstice is an astrological mark showing the mid winter. It is based on the location of the sun in the sky, when is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observers hemisphere. Basically its when the sun is at the lowest position in the sky. Many ancient cultures have calculated this moment and pinpointed it exactly. This year it occurred December 21st (2008) at 12:09PM. The Comanche Indians in Texas found a bluff that ran east to west and established it as a sacred place to paint astronomically aligned pictographs. On this bluff they created two solar markers, one to calculate the vernal equinox and another to calculate the winter solstice. An ancient Comanche tribal leader would stand upon a keystone that ran almost perfectly north to south. He would then watch for the shadow of the roadrunner to appear followed by the shadow of the wolf. The wolf shadow crosses across a painting with 4 marks. As it hits the 4th mark a speck of light beings to pierce its way through a painting of a turtle with a sun dial on its back.
Well of course seeing this amazing ancient calculation come to pass was an event I decided I couldn’t miss! So I spent my Sunday afternoon driving to this location and photographing and filming the phenomenon. Of course I had to do some cool effects and get video as well.
RIGHT HERE is where I would put the photos and video
but unfortunately my camera is in use filming a multidimensional discussion right now so please come check back later tonight, I will have both HDR photos of the paintings as well as 3D photos! And also a video of the spear of light piercing the turtle, initiating the winter solstice.
Symbols left by Indians to mark their presence at this location
The vernal equinox pictograph
on the first day of spring an angled shadow is cast which the small stick figure is walking up
the rest of the symbols are star maps
3D tree! 
I still have to post more 3D photos and images of the symbol of winter solstice
Check back later, hopefully I’ll have these up soon.
