blog.CONTEST

Hi Folks, I bet all of you who are reading this must be wondering what a blog.CONTEST is all about. I just came up with an idea (courtesy: blogmela) to make blogs.sun.com a more interesting blog.server than it's other counterparts. So I've setup blog.CONTEST:

blog.CONTEST Winner Receives: Sony MP3 CD Walkman® Portable CD Player. (I will ship this to the winner ONLY in U.S and Canada. Winners from outside this territory may choose to pay for the shipping to obtain their prize or could choose to donate it back to blog.CONTEST as a prize to be used towards the next blog.CONTEST. I/WE/US anticipating participation from all of you would make Apt mention of the sponsor of the prize for every forthcoming contest). I shall sponsor the prize for the winner of the first contest. Any of you can volunteer to keep the contest going and to sponsor prizes. Here are the rules: (courtesy: blogmela)

Nominations and posts can be made by anybody. (need not necessarily be a sun employee). You could also self nominate your own post.
Please send permalinks to the blog entries only, not just the blog URL. If the permalink is not working, send me the title and date of the blog entry. Whole blogs are not accepted as nominations.
Please send permalinks to the blog entries only, not just the blog URL. If the permalink is not working, send me the title and date of the blog entry. Whole blogs are not accepted as nominations.
Not all entries nominated may be accepted. Editorial discretion will be used.

Please post your nominations as comments to this post. Don't post too many links at once. So go ahead and submit your nominations to blog.CONTEST and be on your way to winning a Sony MP3 CD Walkman® Portable CD Player. PS: if any of you would like to join me in keeping this blog.CONTEST going, please contact me by emailing me at rohan at rohanpinto dot com. suggest a name Should I change the name of this contest from blog.CONTEST to blog.FEST (with the number of product namechanges we at sun have gone through in the last 4 years, I think I need to change the name of this contest too.. just to keep up.... with the trend...{{{wink}}})

Hi Rohan, cool stuff, but you got no traction on this yet. So to get the ball rolling I nominate Jonathan Schwartz's blog at http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan I guess MarymaryQuiteContrary would follow suit..

Hi Joe, Thanks for getting the ball rolling.. but however, remember that the winner would be the "nominated" and not the "nominee" ;-) ALSO: The Nominations need to be for a specific blog post and not the entire blog. You need to specify the permalink URL and not the URL to the entire blog

I nominate one of sun's very own blogger : Glenn Brunette.

NOMINATION PERMALINK : http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/gbrunett/20050420#enforcing_a_two_man_rule

OK Rohan.

The permalink to jonathan's post is : http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jonathan/20050501#a_new_sun_grid_service

CURIOSITY QUESTION: Would Jonathan Schwartzneed a Sony MP3 CD Walkman® Portable CD Player??. Maybe he would donate it back as you suggested that winners could do.

Sorry... wrong link the correct one is here. I am not too used to blogging and was not aware of the difference between a trackback and a permalink. Sorry for the error on the prior post.
