I’m Linux Video Contest

“If you've been alive and aware of mass media over the last twelve months, you've probably seen television commercials from Apple and Microsoft touting their operating system. From Apple's ubiquitous "I'm a Mac" to Jerry Seinfeld to Microsoft's "I'm a PC" retort, operating system commercials have been flooding the airways. Except one OS has been notably absent – Linux.

While the Linux Foundation would love to spend millions promoting Linux on TV, it's simply not our style (or in our budget). Even more importantly, Linux isn't a top-down, commercially controlled operating system. It's a grassroots product of mass collaboration. That's why we're sponsoring a community contest to create a Linux video that showcases just what Linux means to those who use it, and hopefully inspires many to try it.

The winner will receive a free trip to Tokyo, Japan to participate in the Linux Foundation Japan Linux Symposium in October 2009. The winning video will also be unveiled at the Linux Foundation's Collaboration Summit in San Francisco on April 8, 2009…”  The Linux Foundation

There goes the neighborhood

  On December 12, 2008 I told you about the Social Networking Conference 2009 to be held in Miami, FL.  It is a gathering of executives from the Internet industry.  The people in the suits will be discussing; business models, global business strategies, venture capital, new mobile technologies, marketing and all sort of things like that on  January 22 and 23rd at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Who is the one person you know that would be out of place at such an event?  I will give you a few hints;  he is not an executive, does not own a suit or tie, does not own a laptop, does not own a 3G cell phone, he does not have business cards and does not own a car so he will have to ride the bus to get to the event.  Guess who?

  That was easy.  Yes I will be attending the event.  How can I afford $1250.00 for a ticket to the event?  I won one in The Fuel My Blog contest.

FL Millionaire Raffle

  millionairewinners

  I did not win the FL Millionaire Raffle.  I checked my three tickets and got nothing.  It was fun thinking what I was going to do with the $660K take home money.  I was going to send $40K to a fan of HNB.  A number of fans were going to get $10K.
  If I am in FL next December I will give it a try again. 

Powerball comes to Florida

“SUNRISE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Powerball frenzy is coming to the Sunshine State.

On January 4th, Florida will officially become a Powerball Lottery state and the first tickets will go on sale. Powerball lottery increases the base jackpot to a whopping $20 million.

Tuesday night lottery ambassadors were front and center at Sawgrass Mills Outlet Mall to explain to the novices exactly how the game works.

"This panel A would be $1 and the idea is to pick five out of 59 and one out of 39 in panel B, and the idea is to match all six numbers," said Florida Lottery District Manager Tom Dolan. "The Powerball ticket is $1 or the Powerball ticket with power play is $2. So, that's a lot of money-- big jackpots for simply $1 to play to give it a chance."

The biggest Powerball payout in history was in 2006, when eight workers from a Nebraska meatpacking company hit the big time, splitting a $365 million jackpot. "Oh, I'm excited, gives me more opportunity to win more money," said Powerball fan Kerri Brunson.

All of the money from Powerball tickets sold in Florida will stay in the state and will continue to fund education. With Florida in the Powerball game, officials said the average jackpots are expected to go from $96 million to $141 million.

The first Powerball tickets will go on sale Sunday. The first Powerball drawing will take place next Wednesday night at Universal Studios in Orlando, the new home of the Powerball drawing.”

  I may be buying more lottery tickets due to the Powerball coming to Florida.  When there is a very big jackpot I will buy one ticket.  That is what I do now for a large jackpot.  It is worth a dollar for me to dream about what I would do with a lot of money.
  I do have three Millionaire Raffle tickets for tonight.  I paid $20.00 for one ticket and I was given two other tickets as a gift.  So I have three chances to win $1 million dollars tonight.  The odds in this drawing a lot better because they only sell one million tickets.  There will be nine one million dollar winners and their will be over 1000 prizes from $500.00 to $50,000.00 and I sure hope that I am one of them.

Social Networking Conference 2009 Miami

  The FuleMyBlog site has information about the Social Networking Conference (Miami) and there is a contest for two passes and each one is worth $1250.00 each.
  In order to win I just need to post about why I should win the passes and then hope that I am one of the two people picked at random.
  My question for Howard’s Notebook readers in why should I win?
  Post your comments here about why I should win.
  I think I should win because I was doing social networking before most of these people were born.  I been social networking since June of 1982.

“Social Networking Conference 2009 Miami is expected to be the largest gathering of executives from the internet community industry. The event will discuss: internet community business models, global business strategies, venture capital, new mobile technologies, marketing of social networks, internet community software, partnerships, legal issues, background search and payment systems. The next event is scheduled to be at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, USA and is scheduled for January 31-February 1, 2009.”

  Check the FuelMyBlog site for details on the contest.
