So anyway, i'm trying this unofficial little contest to get some creative spirits active. The idea is, spends a lot of time on the road (what with visiting the desks of 1 Million+ CPians and all), and thus must get to visit a lot of interesting sites. Being the sort of curious alien tourist that he is, he's bound to stick around some of them long enough to get photographed - so let's see 'em!
Rules are:
- Photos must be your own work.
- Photos must be tasteful.
- Photos must be print quality - if they aren't large enough to get a good print off of, you're just another nut with a bad camera.
- Photos must show a recognizable Bob in an interesting location - no matter how many StarDock applets you've downloaded, your desktop is *not* an interesting location.
Current entries are:
Skiiing Bob - Colin Davies
Bob and Monkey - Nick Seng
Bob and Elk - Chris Losinger
Bob and cast of ER - Mike Mullikin
Bob on a Boat - Chris Losinger
Bob on Cape Lookout - Chris Losinger
Bob in Cape Town - Paul Watson (more of a "started the whole idea" image than a entry, but 's cool... )
Bob Amongst the Angels - K(arl)
Cattle Bob - Michael A. Barnhart
Bob in Atlanta - PJ Arends
Bob in Berlin - Arnd H.
Bob at the Valley of the Kings - Nick Rowan
Bob Sandboarding - Nick Rowan
Bob in London at Buckingham Palace - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Paris climbing the Eiffel Tower - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Amsterdam at the Rembrandt museum - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia with one of his favorite non alcoholic drinks - Steve Mayfield
Bob and his Spaceship...err, in Montreal at the Olympic stadium - Steve Mayfield
Bob Golfing - David Wulff
Best shot wins An Improbable Prize (!!!!). Judges consist of: Me. An advisory panel to the judges consists of: Everyone who votes on posted images/links to images/colorful descriptions of images that can presumably be found somewhere/etc. All entries must be postmarked no earlier than 1/1/2001All entrants must be certifiably human. Bob, Bob's family, Bob's handlers, mutilated cattle, and the strange light in the sky are barred from entry. This contest claims no affiliation with The Code Project, The Code Project Staff, Shadowy Backers of The Code Project, or the word "contest". All names, dates, and faces Copyright by their respective owners. All facts are fiction, all lemons sublime.

Ok here's the pic of Bob sandboarding[^] down the minedumps.
And here's the other one of him at the Valley of the Kings [^] (Not my photo though...)
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

's cool. Though Losinger brought it up first in the SB AFAIR. I just responded that I had done something similar for the postcard thing.
Good idea Shog. So A3 prints and above only ok?

I'm sorry to push you in the back, (thanks to your courtesy to remind us this non-contest exists), but, I would like to know, finally, who is the winner? Did Mr. Losinger get his prize?

So, from here on out, i'm abandoning my "vote up messages i really like, vote down slop" policy, and moving to a "vote up messages i want to read, vote down messages i don't" mode of operation. A subtle difference, but an important one - AFAIK, this is closer to how the voting system was intended to be used, and by throwing in with the lot that use it this way, i do my small part to help make it useful: by driving down topics that have played out or are otherwise unwanted, it becomes easier to pick out fresh and interesting topics. Maybe.
If nothing else, it gives me something to do...

Well, i'm living in Colorado now, Pueblo to be specific. In truth, i've been living here a while - what's new is that now my employer knows about it. After a good deal of hassle and rejection, The Powers That Be have approved me to work from the office here instead of the one in La Crosse.
So i can think a little bit less about having to look for a new job now...

Well, despite professing a desire for peace and solitude, i've made my life rather hectic, and there's no end in site. Turns out, i'm moving, getting married, and trying to learn the secret to cooking good biscuits and gravy, all at the same time. So time available for posting new articles (or even updating existing ones), answering forum questions, and general bullshitting with Odd Online Personalities tends to be rather limited.
See y'all on the other side...

Pardon the delay, this takes a bit to pull off...
More because i think it would be useful if CP had enough of its formatting in CSS (so doing this on an individual basis would be trivial), than because i think it should be any other color...
