Contest at John Chow dot com
Ok, so much for me being aware of what is happening in the world. After almost an entire day of surfing John Chow’s site, I finally tried the front page…… and realized that he has a contest going about a bag of goodies that Market Leverage is sponsoring. The bag contains a Flip camera for sure - I really wanted one for adding some video content here…… Then, it contains a USB drive that doubles as a pen…. ipod (the husband won’t let me get close to it even if I win it…..) and a card for 200$ (notice how I am vague on the details?)
The contest post is not exactly invisible, and this is a prime example of how yours truly can lost all perspective when she starts reading 
Actually, what’s so special about this is that the bag of goodies contains stuff I want….. like everybody else, and as John himself puts it, it has about the same chance as being struck by lightning…. which is a good chance for me, considering my name means lightning….. actually it is a better chance for the husband……
So now, I’m writing a post about it. Of course my intentions are entirely dishonorable. I probably wouldn’t have written about this at all, if writing about it hadn’t meant that I get entered for the draw that could win me the bag. The bag I want. So the post, I will…
This just goes to show you yet again how well the advice he gives us works. So, what remains is following it. I wonder how many suckers like me are linking to him out of sheer love - for that bag Yeah me too.
