11.08.2005 - The Great Book Giveaway Contest #2
<p>It appears that <cite>Bulletproof Web Design</cite> is now available, and I've received a few reports that copies are starting to be spotted in stores and received via various online booksellers. To celebrate, I'm launching a little contest where you can win two books, a t-shirt, and some icons.</p><p>Like the original contest that was run last year, I'll be gathering comments in which to randomly draw numbers from. Read on for the details.</p>
<h3>How to Enter</h3>
<p>Entering the contest is simple. Your comment number is your lottery ticket (<em>1 comment per person, anonymous comments won't be counted</em>). So, the idea is simply to get a pool of comments in which to draw three winners from.</p>
<p>Your comment will attempt to answer the following question (brought on by a recent dinner conversation with friends): <strong>Who is the present-day equivalent to Huey Lewis?</strong> This isn't a trick question, but rather an attempt to clarify whether Mr. Lewis was an anomaly. Who, in 2005 is a middle-aged, awkwardly goofy, sports-loving rock star who, despite all that, wrote <em>undeniably</em> catchy songs? I dunno. Perhaps one exists, and perhaps one doesn't. Feel free to look as deep into this question as you'd like. Have I lost my mind? Maybe. But remember, we just need a large pool of comments.</p>
<h3>The Prize Packages</h3>
<p>Three winners will each receive the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 copy of <cite>Bulletproof Web Design</cite> (signed, if you'd like)</li>
<li>1 copy of <cite>Web Standards Solutions</cite> (signed, if you'd like)</li>
<li>1 t-shirt of your choice</li>
<li>1 icon set of your choice</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to Win</h3>
<p>I'll draw two winners by randomly generating two numbers from the final comment pool. Additionally, I'll pick one lucky winner based on the comment itself: the best, most creative answer.</p>
<p>Entries will be accepted until Wednesday, August 17 at 3:00 <abbr>PM</abbr>, after which I'll announce the winners. Good luck!</p>
