So, I just posted a test batch of survey requests on Amazon's Mechanical Turk.  Wow.  It was up for something like 3 minutes before I had my first half dozen responses.  It's been up now for 15 or 20 and I'm almost done with the 20 requests that I posted.  From those 20, I've got 2 people who are interested in signing up for the service if and when it launches.

How much did all of this cost?  $0.70  Acquiring customers for $0.35 each?  Oh yeah.  The future is now, baby.


The second holy god was dinner tonight.  Spinach and feta chicken sausages with Beemster cheese (a form of Gouda), sauteed mushrooms, and scrumptious 7-grain bread.  Oh, my mouth and belly are so happy.


Which of these is more "holy god" worthy?  Tough call.  Probably the first, but only by a whisker.

Mac'n'cheese. But it has to be good stuff, made with real cheese that actually had some ancestral relationship with a ruminant...not a vat of Orange Dye #72.1 And Other Assorted Icky Stuff.
