Buttercast.com Contest
A friend of mine is putting together a site that will allow you to create your own commentary and broadcast of the big game aka the Superbowl ™.
His site is Buttercast.com (personal broacasting) and they will be offering some great prizes to the best entry for the big game. What you need to do is record your own commentary of the 2nd quarter and submit your entry. You can win a 50″ plasma TV, a Nintendo WII, or an Ipod.
Your chances of winning are pretty high since the promotion started rather late. Good luck.
You Got People – Are you kidding?

Who sat in a room when coming up with a campaign for H&R Block this tax season and decided that it would be a good idea to butcher the English language just because it was something that could be branded and trademarked? Was it something that they wanted others to talk about? Was this a “brilliant marketing ploy” as Leo Laporte might suggest.
I suppose you know you are getting old when these things bother you.
