[...] arrived only hours after the contest began and set the pace for a field of over 40 excellent “interpretations of iPod Shuffle as food”. Davin followed up his well received goat butter creation with a Parsnip Shuffle, a Tofu Shuffle, [...]

I feel this competition discriminates against the obsessive-compulsive among us who do not like to touch our food. I’m highly offended.

(But that text wrap is hella-cool.)

I have a special domain reserved for the shaming. :)

Oooh the suspense. This is gonna be fun!

What Jeff said, I am not sure I even want a shuffle but that text wrap — I am loving that! :-)

So, let’s say you win this competition, and also won for your idea: do you get two Shuffles?

XHTML purists are gonna hate you for that text wrap solution, aren’t they :-)

I might give this a go… but I want to know whether the quality of the photo has an effect on whether you win or not? See, all I have at the moment is a very bad quality Logitech webcam… so it won’t really produce a top notch photo. Will that be detrimental to my chance of winning?

Hmm... I've got some beans, taco flavored beef, tostada chips, lettuce strips, diced tomato, cheese, and a banana. Now what the hell do you expect me to do with THAT? I'll think about it till lunch time...but no guarantees.

So does this iPod giveaway have anything to do with your newly acquired, top-secret domain that you snatched?

Mark: Yep, you can win twice.

Jason: Nope, has nothing to do with the domain I purchase. Take your time on the contest though. I’m giving everyone 3.5 weeks in case inspiration hits at a weird time.

Turnip: Tough call on the webcam. Not sure if you could make out much detail on that but you never know.

Maybe we should mail our submissions to Mike. I think that would be the only fair way to judge this contest.
I think you will love my submission, it’s mostly fish!

Is 5-day, c.o.d., econo-delivery ok?

Will you accept multiple entries? Or is it one per person?

One question about the contest rules — is the contest limited to citizens of the USA, or can someone like me (from Canada) enter? I mean, should I assume you’re OK sending a shuffle to me when I win? ;)

Yep. Multiple entries are fine, as are international entries.
