The @danheinz Google Wave Contest #surfwithdan

I have Google Wave invites and I'd like to give back. Instead of being a schmuck and asking people to send me money. I am going to have a contest. Here's what I am thinking, I want you to make a YouTube freestyle rap video. The video doesn't have to be a legitimate rap. It can be, but I'll accept funny also. I will give out 3 invites, one to the top 3 videos.

You have nothing to lose except maybe some self respect, that's overrated anyways. If I only get 3 entries, they're the 3 winners. Good luck!

Here's the rules:

1.) The video must be a minimum of 45 seconds long and maximum of 120

2.) The video have a minimum of 30 seconds of "rapping"

3.) Creativity, originality and the above are required.

4.) At the end or beginning give me a quick 10-15 second run down on what you'll be using wave for.

5.) The winners will have their videos shared with the public

6.) In the title of the video you must add #surfwithdan

7.) Submissions will be accepted up until Thanksgiving Day, the winners announced on November 30th

8.) You must follow me on Twitter @danheinz, this is where I'll announce, you will have 24 hours to claim your prize.

Once you upload your video shoot me an @ reply on twitter. I will watch it and bookmark it on my Youtube page play list.

Rules are subject to change

Office of the Day - October 7th 2009

There it is. My workspace. my iMac 24", the Macbook, my HP 8500 Pro Premier, a bunch of Moleskine and other notebooks, and if you look carefully, under the Moleskines lies an HP Officejet 5400 single function printer. Also, there's a bag of M&Ms.

Robb Of the Day - Oct 4, 2009

Just shaved, and am now basking in the brilliant glow of my huge ass computer.

I've been a beard man for over 4 months now. I've been considering switching back, but now it's getting cold and it may be nice to have the extra protection.

We'll see. Anyway, be looking for a brand new post from Livius sometime in the next seven years, and if you really want to see Dan, you probably need to go read his Bell's Palsy blog.

I'm out this piece.

I was out shopping with Shayne this weekend, and could in no way resist picking up this shirt.

I was down with DMC from the Raising Hell days. Sure I may have drifted a little after Tougher Than Leather came out, but they were always in my heart.

So here's to you, RUN DMC. Keep rockin rhymes... some of you from heaven...

Robb of the Day - September 6 2009

Here it is, Robb of the Day. It's back. At least for today.

It's like an Eminem song, kind of.

Now that I'm a Vermonter, I have grown a beard and have started sitting around with my hand perched on top of my head.

Anyway, enjoy looking at me.

Robb of the Day - July 25th 2009

Also, moving to Vermont. If you want to send me any kind of care package or love letter, send them to:

Brattleboro, VT 05301

Pics will be posted when we get settled. Until then, come to my hood and take me out for coffee.

Robb of the Day - May 6 "Indie Publisher"

Here it a sneak peek of the upcoming zine, the first issue of Nimrod Review.

Nimrod Writers Group is a group I started recently to get people writing and trying new styles of fiction.

Because the first exercise was so much fun, and I'm an aspiring publisher, I decided to make it into a book.

With the awesome design help of Mac @ Pixel Dreamer, I think I've thrown together a pretty badass little zine.

It's going to be a May release, and features stories by Livius and I and about 5 other writers. I'll post more info as it becomes available. Anybody interested in a copy should email nimrodwritersgroup@gmail.com. Or if you feel like joining and writing with us, hit me up.

One of the new shirts that Shayne bought me from Threadless.com. I love threadless shirts.

Yeah.

Danimal of the day subway edition

Robb of the Day - Mar 20 "back to cheap effects"

So as all of you know, I'm now back from my road trip.

Being the moron that I am, I started a travel blog to talk about it.

So, check it out.

There's one more day of travel to blog, and some more pics to upload. The map is more or less filled with all the more integral spots.

That's it, peace out.
