Spend it all on an epic launch party. Get the tech press and the silicon valley elite to come. Build so much buzz in one night, all of sand hill road skips work the next day to slide checks under your hotel suite door.

Nice work Brad, This is really cool. Now I want to hook something like this up to an A/B testing framework and see if I can improve site metrics simply by swapping out the background. Adding some basic image manipulation (hue, saturation, blur, etc) on top of the patterns would be nice to, as I imagine that how most people use that resource.

Pretty Nice. Couple of small issues I noticed: If you try to save an empty Paste you get a server error. Also, The Save Icon itself feels very 1990s to me, you might want to consider trying out a few others.

Cool idea. It could be useful once it has a bit more content. Maybe it should be seeded with some more aliases from public dotfiles repos.

This is a beautiful page, however I wish they would have spent the time, energy and money improving their reliability. I would be happier with a plain text status page, and a service that can survice a partial amazon outage.
