well, i tried to vote and was told i'd already voted...but i hadn't! maybe i clicked the mouse mistakenly before the page loaded and it hit on the vote? i dunno

the site says.....Please keep it fair, and vote only once.
(UPDATE: Just a quick note, guys… Although there is a work-around to put in multiple votes, when I look at the final results in the logs, I will be making sure the vote was fair. Multiple votes from the same machine WILL BE DELETED from the tally.)

so, i logged a few extra votes for the leader, number 15. not sure if they went through. if so it should work out to a net difference in your favour

(now, if someone was looking for a way to cheat........ )

Technically, it's to win a Best Buy gift certificate for the value of a Wii, so it can be spent on anything you want. I'd likely put it towards a flash for the fancy new digital SLR we just bought in anticipation of our upcoming Playa trip.

How do I win this contest? By having the most people come the the blog that is having the contest and vote for me. Voting is simple, you just go to (NetChick) This Chick’s Life-, click in the circle beside my name (#3 Gregg), and click the vote button below. Duplicate votes are not allowed, otherwise I would have spent all evening clicking .

Why is it unlikely I'll win? Well first, I have been so busy the past few days that I wasn't even aware I was in the contest, and voting closes at midnight Pacific time tomorrow (Saturday). Not much time to put together a campaign . Secondly, I am up against some local television and blogging personalities, so they have a huge audience to direct their campaign towards.

But I'm not going to give up! If nothing else, I don't want to come in at the bottom of the heap. But I certainly would love to win, and if the peeps here could help me to do so, I promise to put that gift certificate towards some good Playa pics!

Just voted for you Greg, hope you win!
What kind of camera did you buy, looking for one too an SLR.
Good luck,
Joni

Thanks!

The decision on the camera was made easier by the fact that I have Canon SLR equipment in that old film thingy medium. I ended up buying a Rebel XTi (400D in Europe). It's a bit more plastic and toyish than my film body, and I would have definitely have liked to get the new 40D; but the 40D was new that week and the price is still too high (especially if I want to be able to go to Playa!). If we weren't taking a trip in a month that we wanted to have the new camera beforehand, I would have waited a few months for the 40D to get cheaper.

But on the plus side, the wife is suddenly very interested in the DSLR and is snapping away with it. She never wanted to touch the SLR before, as she didn't want to waste film during the learning process. But I can already see that in a year or so I'll be able to buy the 40D so that we have two digital bodies available for us to use.

So while I get to use all my old lenses with the new digital body, the flash technology has changed and my old flash will only work with the old body . Come on people, I need that new flash!!!

Wow! I was mainly not wanting to be in last place, but now I'm thinking that with the help of all the great peeps out there, I might actally be able to give the leaders a run for their Wii!

We're heading out shopping for our trip... looking forward to seeing where it goes while were out. Voting takes 10 seconds, and I appreciate every one of them! Thanks to everyone!

Well I didn't win... I didn't stand much of a chance since I started campaigning late... but at least I didn't look like the friendless dweeb I am in real life!

I just wanted to thank everyone that put in a vote for me... Playa peeps can always be counted on for support!
