I wonder, do you remember the $20 [tag]Holiday Millionaire Raffle[/tag] ticket I mentioned that the [tag]Florida Lottery[/tag] was selling, and the guy who wanted to sell one on [tag]eBay[/tag]?

Well, I saw that his auction was removed from the site. I’m not sure if it was removed by eBay, or if it was removed by him. All I know is that auction got ripped off the site. That was pretty darn funny, really. I even showed my coworkers that ticket before it was pulled off eBay, and they were laughing.

It’s seemingly unbelievable that someone would invent a way to break the rules on eBay without actually breaking them, and yet, stuff like this happens every single day.

Everyone seems to have this pressing need to make a [tag]reality television[/tag] show, be it cooking reality TV, competing on an island reality TV, or even [tag]business reality TV[/tag].

With this, I must say that Ted Murphy, and the guys at [tag]PayPerPost[/tag] decided to jump aboard with their own business reality TV show, and call it [tag]RockStartup[/tag]. It goes into what it takes to actually start up a business like what they run over in Central Florida, and shows that it’s not all about raising the money. You can see just how exhausted Ted is in the first episode (and how clumsy, it seems, with all that falling).

Looking at the site again (now that I’ve already watched the first two episodes), I’ve got this to say:
Ted, you look positively stoned in the picture they’re using for the header on the site. Did you fall over on your face after they took that shot?

It looks like Marty was clickin’ on the ones and twos there with that layout — it looks sharp, and like something I’d want to use on Unchain.US, whenever I get off my arse and design it. (I just want larger video windows for viewing episodes online.)

So, when’s the next episode, guys?
