He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

To: "The forgotten son of -273"
Subject: A Challenge
So you're upset that we don't link to your website from our main page? Well, we have a proposal for you. A challenge, if you will. If you survive our challenge, we'll link to you. Should you fail, you must abandon all claims to -273 linkage.*
All you need to do is post every day for the next thirty days. Actually, we'll be generous and say 28 out of the 30 days, as long as you never miss two consecutive days. Your posts over those 30 days will be evaluated by a team of weblog experts** on the following basis: "Was reading this site today worth the time I took to read it?" If you average more "yes" votes than "no" votes for a particular day (a day is defined as midnight to midnight local time) you get a point. If you get more than 14 points during the 30 day period, you win. If you get 14 points or fewer, you lose.
If you accept this challenge, please indicate this on your weblog. Because we are offering you a chance to get linked, should you decline to accept this challenge, we feel that you must stop whining about not being linked.
* Should you lose, you must also abandon your default template and redesign your site.
** If you're interested in serving on our panel of weblog experts, please send an email to challenge@negative273.com. In order to qualify as an expert you must currently run a weblog (please provide a link in the email) or be able to demonstrate your expertise in some other fashion.
