My buddy and the Million Count

Well my college friend Jeremy Harper, who is somewhat infamous for his crazy, fun filled stunts, has decided to take on a huge challenge. First, a little background info, in college Jeremy rode on the Journey of Hope raising funds and awareness for Push America, an nonprofit organization that raises money and awareness for those with disabilities. Well recently a challenge was developed by that organization for individuals to do various activities that would physically challenge them. Most people were doing a 10k run, or a bike ride, or some other endurance oriented challenge, well Harper being the type of guy who usually thinks outside the box, decided he would come up with something a little more unique. With the help of Eric and Rob, two of my former roommates, and close friends of Jeremy's, came up with the idea of locking Jeremy in his apartment (estimated to take about 3 months), while he counted by 1 to 1 million, and to broadcast this to the world via the internet from 4 video cameras setup in his apartment to capture every second. The website is millioncount.com and he started the count on June 18, 2007.

Well I stopped by to visit him today and took a couple photos of both him and his dog, Skillet.
