Winner: The newly refinanced Noel Paterson. Race to Refinance

 

UPDATE: We have a winner. What timing, huh?

Every so often, someone comes along and pulls off a project that amazes you. Eric Sipple, also known as @saalon, a certifiable Web genius, built the Planet Money Listener Race to Refinance. Check it out in brief after the jump and in all its glory at Sipple's site. (For the intrepid few, note the possibility of joining in.)

Our contestants are were Sipple, who claims claimed to be in the lead; Meghan Barbato, who's building an empire on Whiskerbears; and Noel Paterson, a game developer who got laid off from one job and found another in the first few months of Planet Money.

I'm I was betting on Barbato, personally, if only because of the Whiskerbears. But in this economy, who knows knew. A huge thanks to Sipple for getting this carousel going and to the others for daring to outrun him. (And for you super geeks, the source code.)
