This goes into the inane category: Jeremy Harper is counting to one million and broadcasting the entire thing live. He’s also blogging about the whole experience. To make money, they’re letting advertisers sponsor blocks of one thousand numbers, using eBay to auction off each block.

Below is a YouTube vid of Jeremy starting his count:
