This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!
My business partner, Chris Tingom, came along (he rode in the other balloon) and he took a video of the experience, and a few photos. I took a video as well, but he beat me [...]

Litmus Test for Door to Door Sales

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Drawing a smiley face on the moon

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Smiley MoonWhat would you do if you had a billion dollars? I don’t know about you… but I would definitely develop a method to draw a smiley face on the moon. Call me crazy, but can you think of a better legacy to leave behind? Yeah. I didn’t think so.

Think about it. Future generations of mankind would look up in the sky at night, only to see a big smiling face. Wars would cease to exist! How could people even think about fighting with a giant smile in the sky?

Or maybe we could sell the moon one pixel at a time? Like the milliondollarhomepage.com site did?

Maybe we could use a high powered laser that would burn the dust and turn it black or something… *scratched his head*. What do you think?

Seriously though, what would you do if you walked outside one night and noticed a smiley face on the moon?
