Invitations now available

It is now finally possible to send invitations to friends and family to have them involved in the i-think awards and voting. Each user has been allocated two invitations for this year.

Just go to the i-think Awards site, click Send Invitation and follow the on-screen instructions (of which there are few).

The people you invite won’t be able to invite others until next year’s awards. If you have any issues, contact me via the i-think awards website or make a comment on this post.

Nominations now open for 2008 i-think Awards

That’s right, it is time once again for the nominations to open up for this year’s i-think Awards. Remember, anyone can nominate and anyone can nominate a new category. Just check out the i-think Awards website.

Dates aren’t final, but I have to enter something for the site to work, so that’s why you’ll see the specifics. I’m still trying to work out what time of year is best to hold the awards so that as many people as possible can attend.Last year I made some big changes to the way the site works under the bonnet, making clearing the results and setting up the new awards even easier. Now that I’ve actually done it, we should be seeing nominations opening earlier than ever before for next year’s awards.

Also, new this year will be a feature where current users will be able to invite new people to become involved and vote in the awards. Invites will be limited (although the number has not yet been determined), however you’ll get more invites again next year. I am still in the “planning” stage for this feature, but given that it is much less ambitious than previous attempts to rewrite the entire site I am much more confident that I will find the time to implement.

So what are you doing still reading this post, you should be getting your nominations in for this year’s i-think Awards.

i-think Awards Voting is now open

Be sure to get your votes in for this year’s i-think awards. Voting closes 12:00 AM 18 August 2007. Strictly no extensions! Seriously. I have to do up these before getting on a plane the next morning.

Bridge to Brisbane

Tomorrow I’m going to be participating in the Bridge to Brisbane “fun run”. Of course I’m not the running type (ask my high school PE teacher) so I’ll be walking. But I’m still going to go for the full 12 kilometres, and have just compiled what I hope is the perfect playlist to keep me motivated throughout the walk. Some of the highlights include:

  • I should reach the peak of the Gateway Bridge at the conclusion of “Superman March”
  • Climbing the bridge I will be motivated by TV themes, including: Knight Rider, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Simpsons Theme (by Green Day from the recent movie) and Stargate SG-1.
  • On the way down the bridge I will be consoled by tracks like: Teardrop and Piano Man.
  • I should complete the walk with the sounds of Black Betty by Spiderbait

Wish me luck!
