million dollar homepage- part one

Andres has started to tell the story, so I better get my basic version out fast.

Andres had an idea to pay a lot of money ($600 was a lot at the time) to put a picture of Waldo on a website. That sold ads.

I told him a couple of good reasons why it was a dumb idea.

He answered them, I thought about it for a few minutes, walked to the ATM, and got $300 out to buy my equal share of the business (Andres had the idea but not the funds).

Two and a half months later, we sold the site for $800, so we each made a bit of money, and a great story to tell to friends, future employers, family members, and anyone who cared to listen.

We will get more into the details later.

people blogging: 57 million + 1

Andres has now joined the blogosphere.

What he is going to talk about, not sure yet. But code, and web concepts like how to get good domains, and mySQL things I know nothing about.

But he has started to speak. And that is the beginning.

Look soon to see a recounting of his and my exploits as business partners when we put Waldo on the Million Dollar Homepage.

how to meet people?

Andres wants to meet Jeremiah.

Andres had the idea for us to put Waldo on the Million Dollar Homepage and works on techie stuff that I am not quite competent to understand. We were buddies in school and I still talk to him more than I talk to my mom (sorry, mom).
