A while back a friend of mine and I were talking about a web site we had read about, the Million Dollar Home Page (www.milliondollarhomepage.com).  This site was created by a college student named Alex Tew, who hoped to use it to help pay for his college expenses.  He set up a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel grid, and put each pixel up for sale… the price was $1 each.
Alex sold all 1 million pixels in just over 5 months.
As my friend and I discussed the Million Dollar Home Page, we began to wonder if the strategy of raising money one buck at a time could be used in different ways… What if that idea, that strategy, was used to support a good cause?  Could it work?
So, the idea was wondered aloud… and then we moved on to discussing other things… probably the Spartans or the Pistons.
But, the idea got stuck in the back of my head.  It kept cropping up at weird times.  I’ve discussed it with friends and family, I’ve even bounced it off my dog… and I’ve mostly received good feedback.
So, here I am… 1 year later… launching an experimental web site to see if this crazy idea might work.  I don’t plan to raise a million dollars for charity… or even thousands… but, I figure that we should be able to raise a couple hundred, and that kind of money, put towards a good cause, could make a big impact on someone’s life.

So, the question is, can a dollar change the world?  I think the answer might be yes.

Thanks for visiting, and thanks for reading.  There is more to come very soon.
