CONTEST: Hey MISSISSAUGANS, BRAMPTONIANS and MILTONIANS — want some FREE FOOD?!

You read it right, folks! It's contest time, and KKvsDmz and Take It And Go are here to HOOK IT UP! The prizes up for grabs are $20 vouchers to the East Side Mario's by Winston Churchill & Argentia in good ol' Mississauga (where I was born and raised — Mississauga that is, not Meadowvale), so you can get your mangia on! I know we've got you salivating, but it's a contest! And what do you have to do to enter?

Good question, my friends — the victors shall be decided through the means of a CAPTION CONTEST!

So to win, you need to comment on one (or all) of the three blogs/pages here with your FUNNIEST caption for the picture attached!

Let's note that we're taking one entry per person PER blog, so make sure to enter on all three to increase your chances!

Here's the one for this site:

5420465958_92be88df50_b

So if you wanna win, get to the bottom of this post and drop me a line with your funniest entry :) Feel free to share this with your friends, because I can't eat all this pasta by MYSELF!!!

And if you don't happen to win, DO NOT DESPAIR!!! There's still a deal going on until midnight February 14th at the same East Side Mario location, where you get $20 worth of good eats, for $9!!! (80% of the proceeds go to the Mississauga Football League — that's pretty cool!)

And if you act now, you can use the promo code TIAGTEAM1 for another $2 OFF.

$7 for $20 worth of food? How can you go wrong? But obviously, FREE is BETTER! Doesn't cost anything to enter, so HAVE AT IT! You have until 11:59 pm of Monday, February 14th to show me what you've got!

This contest has been brought to you by Take It And Go, who're awesome and trying to make the world a little better by putting more money back in your pocket — but let's talk some more about that later!

Looking forward to your entries,

The #ReGiftTO Unwrap-Up

If you missed it, Thursday night was ReGiftTO, hosted by @clickflickca and @morningmoe. It was a good party held for the heckuvit and filled with cool tweeples (i.e. people who know each other primarily through Twitter), bangin' beats and awesome prizes! It was conveniently located at Our House on Ossington JUST south of Dundas.

Unfortunately for me and my overconfident self, I thought it was at Ossington and COLLEGE. So, for you non-Torontonians out there, when you get off of a streetcar knowing you have to get to 214 College, but the house in front of you is 493, and you know the house numbers differ by 2 between them (and it's snowing and cold and you have to walk uphill to school and then uphill again back home while being chased by rabid mountain goats) - you know you have quite the walk ahead of you.

Still fighting the contest fight!

So we're wrapping up the year! 2010 has definitely been an active one, but I think mostly for the good. I'll be posting up the 2010 20K wrap-up blog tomorrow as well as announcing the new initiative.

But for the meantime, I hope you have a good time out there tonight - keep it safe and don't even think about drinking and driving!

And before you go, I've hit 21st place in the Wolfram|Alpha contest - I'd hit 20th, but slipped back down. Boo. 

Drop a vote before you head out - http://bit.ly/CaseySpikey - I'll appreciate whatever I can get, and if you want to tell a friend or two, I promise that I won't complain :)

Thanks everyone, and let's start 2011 on a STRONG note!

DoomzVlog Dec 30 2010

So I tried. I really tried to put together a more stylish video with the tools available to me, but it just didn't work out this time. In this video, you'll hear about the WolframAlpha contest I'm participating in, why you need to go vote DAILY at http://bit.ly/CaseySpikey until January 3rd, and about some upcoming projects that I have in the works for 2011.


People mentioned:
Also mentioned in the video is a shot of how the rhombic hexecontahedron was mailed to me in the first place. Et voila:

Things I learned while making this vlog post:

  • iMovie is wack and I need a better video editing suite to get awesome captions and stuff on it
  • That hat looks okay on my head, though I'm not wearing it outside 'til spring and I should probably get one that's better made
  • I like videos and will have some AWESOME stuff to talk about REALLY SOON
  • Some jQuery. YES IT'S UNRELATED.

Third Time's a Charm - The Trifecta of Twitter Tweetups

WooTO: December 14th; HoHoTO: December 16th; Electric Christmas 2: December 20th. Three events that were all crazy fun for their own reasons, and that I was lucky enough to attend!

Christmas is always a busy season: buying gifts, going to parties, planning out where you need to be - this year was exceptionally busy as I started to get my tweet on. There's SO MUCH going on in the T-Dot that I never knew about before I started hitting up tweetups (awkward sentence, anyone?) and getting better in touch with my digital side. Been a great couple of months :)

Let me tell you about the events above and what you missed if you didn't know about them or get a chance to drop in:
