Good for you! Everyone’s story is different, so read mine with the knowledge that it is neither a prescription or a cautionary tale; it is simply the path I took.

Uch...you want me to do what?

Generally I’m against these “Make something for the chance to win X” type of contests.  Someone else put it better than I did by saying “you don’t work an 8 hour shift at wal-mart for the chance to win $48”. 

But this one struck a chord.  I had a funny idea and this contest seemed like a good fit for it.  At the end of the day, what matters is not that i might win an xbox…but that I got to put another vid out.  And really, when it comes to making stuff online, the idea of “the thing being made” as a victory is about all you can reasonably hope for. 


My one regret is not including the line “Why should I pay you to be creative?  I live in Portland!  I’m Creative!”  (which is something of a quote from a meeting I had once).
