everything else

Our long anticipated Boxcutters competition is now underway.

All you need to do is spread the word about Boxcutters, in any way you want – the more creative the better – bring new visitors to the site with your special URL and you’ll be in the running for a Crumpler bean bag of your own.

Bean Bag

If you want to enter, send us a message to let us know, through the Boxcutters contact form, so we know how to contact you.

You’ll have to be registered on the site to make your special link so we can make sure we have a unique address for you to use.

How does it work? I’m glad you asked. The link you want to send people to begins with http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid= followed by your username on the blog. My username is brett, so the URL I’d put out is http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett

For our unusual users with more than one word in their username, where there’s a space, enter “%20″. So, if my username was brett boxcutter, the links would be http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett%20boxcutter

It seems complicated but remember: you can always get in touch and we’ll explain it some more.

As you spread the word, put a link to where your link is posted, or describe your strategy, in the comments on this post.

The competition is open until 11:59pm on Sunday, September 30, at which point the winner will be decided by the judging panel (Brett, Josh and Ross) based on the number of visitors brought to Boxcutters, with extra points for style and creativity and minus points for shenanigans.

Happy Promoting!

Thanks to our European correspondant for putting me onto this.

We all got together over the weekend and had another photo taken.

At last you can see what we really look like.

After the jump you will see, from left: Ross, Brett and Josh.

BB on CB80s

It took our European correspondent, James Talia, to track down this YouTube clip from Chartbusting 80s. Here’s me, shoving a Boxcutters plug in before getting down to business with some 80s trivia.

Don’t Forget

There won’t be a podcast until tomorrow due to circumstances beyond our something.

We mentioned it on the show last week but maybe some people forgot.

Boxcutters hits the dancefloor

Very bizarrely, listening to Weird Groovin’ on Triple R with Jazzy Chef doing a live set, our Brian Nankervis ID is being sampled in the mix.

Pork is.. pork is.. pork is on the table… wiggedy-whack!

Just one of those strange things that happen when you send these things out there.

On Radio National

If you were keen on hearing me (Josh) on Radio National last week but missed out, you can catch up on their website: www.abc.net.au/rn/breakfast.

Enjoy

***UPDATE***
And this morning’s piece is here (in the second section).

Despite Josh’s understandable reservations, NBC has confirmed Friday Night Lights will be back for a second season.

Hopefully it is good news. FNL is a great show (Not to be confused with local Big Brother spin off Friday Night LIVE which isn’t).

She who must not be named

She who must not be named, officially boned.

Nine finally ended its tortured relationship with the high-profile star with a terse three-sentence statement.

Nine announced that Rowe, currently on maternity leave, “would not be returning to the Network and that Nine and Jessica had reached an agreement that would allow Jessica to take up other opportunities for her career”.

Yay!

Is it just me, or do others agree that Kevin Rudd has escaped from South Park?
