Catchy headline anyway. Here’s the deal. Every month (for the time being anyway) PPP is having a contest and giving something away. The contest is the Blog Battle Royale. Details on the contest (and the link to vote) are here. Basically we all wrote and entry about what type of robot we would create, what it would look like, what it would do, how it would be marketed, etc…Of course mine is a bit off-kilter like everything around here. Here is my entry into the contest, the Sooper Dooper SurrogateChild 2000.
There are 36 blogs competing against each other and the five that have the most votes when voting ends at noon on Monday each get an iRobot Roomba, one of those vacuum robots. Pretty sweet, no?
There are some pretty good entries, so go read them and vote for your favorite one. If you don’t have time to read them all, that’s OK just vote for me because I have the best looking hat AND a drawing of the darn thing (the robot as well as my hat) and if you show up to the blogmeet in Helen in October I will cut you up and feed you to the fishies in the Chattahoochee if you haven’t!!
Oh by the way, leave me a comment and let me know what you think about the robot!
