From Jason Yip:
My blog is worth $20,887.98.
How much is your blog worth?
And if anyone wants to buy it at that price (that’s US currency, of course), please feel free to let me know. Contact me before the end of 2005, and I’ll even through in a 10% discount… afterwards, of course, the price may be even higher, as I’m always making new value on the site.
Serious offers only, naturally. No tire kickers.
You work in an airconditioned office. The thermostat for the airconditioner is set to 23.5C. The thermometer gauge says that it is currently 24.2C. Do you:

Steve Hayes brings up a lovely quote. The opposite of a testable design is a detestable design.
Apparently, next Monday will be the worst day of the year. Naturally, that’s the day I start at Wotif
Fortunately, the formula is based on such variables as the weather, and thus it is only the worst day in the Northern hemisphere. *phew*.
As this video makes abundantly clear, e-voting is simple… as long as you want to vote for Dubya.
On a more serious note, Slashdot covered some real problems with the e-voting machines in Florida recently.
Dear Mr. Architect:
Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each configuration so that I can arbitrarily pick one.
