Last time I asked there was no way to spend money to get the main sequences in a neatly bound book. (...) Would anyone be willing to make this happen for money? I don't know what all is required, but I suspect some formatting and getting the ok from EY. I want two for myself (one for the shelf and one to mark all to hell) and a few for gifts, so some setup where I can buy as needed is preferable (like Lulu.com but I'm not picky about brand) and printed-up stapled pages don't work. Maybe $100 for the work and $100 to EY/Miri? Flexible on price, and if that's way off no offense intended. And of course if not being on dead trees was a principled decision I respect that. Source

Yea, I wouldn't have parsed that as $100/hr.

Fun fact: If the $100 was indeed to be taken as a rate and one defaulted to "per unit of Planck time" (naturally), the payment would be quite competitive, at $6.678341396812e+48 per hour (link to converter).

That's good even for Bay Area standards, no?

Haha fair play. I wouldn't think to ask someone to get out of bed for $100 flat, but that was poorly communicated.

Not feeling too bad though since its happening anyway. Like asking to pay to have my own road repaved, only to be told by the clerk that they don't do that so I don't submit, then the town repaves it a year later and five figures cheaper.

The kind of task you described is probably done for $50 dollar via eLance by some Indian, if you just want a bound book with a simply cover that has all those blog posts unedited in chronological order.
