Thanks to Cory Doctorow for showing me Referer Risk, a website that offers the power to help you take over the world. Referer Risk provides you with a tiny piece of HTML code you can download and add to your website. Your visitors can then click on an image of the world. Each time they click they'll conquer a 2-degree by 2-degree parcel of land for your domain name.

I posted the code on my website last night. The Jumping Monkeys team came out fighting, but we fell out of formation and now we're losing the battle. You can view the high scores here. Since completely occupied countries count double, tonight on the show I'll tell you which countries we should focus on first.

System requirements

You'll need your own website to conquer the world on your own. If you join me, you'll only need a Net connection and a lot of time.

Get the code to dominate the world on your own

Help me dominate the world

Don't want to have any part in conquering the world? Hate referer technology that tells webmasters where you came from? Try a program such as Proxomitron. It will disable referral technology for you.

Next episode: Watch "Star Wars" in five minutes.
