What’s Inside You? Intel’s Newest Contest Can Earn You…

by Missy Ward

Intel has just launched “What's Inside You?”, a brand new contest, where you can win an Intel Prize Package consisting of:

Intel® Centrino® 2-based Laptop of your choice (valued up to $3,000)

$300 cash

$200 Amazon.com gift card

Not too shabby, eh?

What they're looking for is for people just like you, to share their story about something amazing you do, using an Intel® processor. Examples could be about photography, animation, blogging, starting a new business, designing — just to name a few.

Think about what you want to write and then submit your story online. You can also browse other people's stories and vote for the one you like best.

I'm typing this blog post on a Dell XPS 410 with a Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 inside that I bought late last year. (I have my eye on the Studio XPS Desktop with the new Intel Core i7 processor in it!).

While blogging this contest is probably not something amazing enough to win the What's Inside You? Contest, I do have a couple of good thoughts in mind to submit. 😉

Good luck!

Tell Me What’s On Your Holiday Wish List and…

by Missy Ward

And the winner is… @laurie_pooh!

My son Chase picked your name out of his Santa hat a few minutes ago!

Missy Claus is buying you your Rock Band 2 Bundle (XBOX 360). Send your address to me at missyward/at/gmail/dot/com

Every year, my family hits me with that age-old question… “What's on your Holiday Wish List this year?”

You see, here's the thing. Everything that I want (that doesn't cost a small-fortune), I buy for myself over the course of the year.

I lack patience. It's a flaw, I know. But, I've come to the realization that I'm not going to change, because I actually like this little imperfection that makes me, well.. me.

So, in keeping with our family tradition, I never send them a list and therefore the only things I get for the holidays are Gift Cards. Lots and lots of Gift Cards.

Right now I have a $250 Circuit City one sitting in front of me, that has gone unused from last Christmas, and I feel like playing Santa with it.

So here's the deal…

Go to CircuitCity.com and pick out something that you want for the holidays (max $250.00 with shipping). Come back here and make a comment on this post which includes the URL to the item you want and answer ONE of the following three questions:

What are you going to do with it?

Who are you going to give it to?

Why I should buy it for you.

On December 19th, my 2-year old son Chase, will randomly select a winner based on the comments received. That winner will get what they wished for and I will announce it here on my blog.

Good luck and happy shopping!

(Before you ask… No, I am not going to send you the gift card — I want to buy you a gift instead!)

Contest ends at 1:00pm EST on Friday, December 19th.

Full details on qualifying can be found below.

So now’s not the time to be quiet. Share your secret for a chance to win some great prizes!

In fact, I’ll start you off with a tip from me…

“Passion and Consistency. Create a website around something that you’re passionate about. Whether it be cooking, dining out, home repair, apparel, electronics – or whatever floats your boat. Creating content around a niche that you’re fanatical about becomes a labor of love and something that you’ll be able to be consistent with, instead of being a daily chore that you’ll begin to lose interest in. If you’re site becomes recognized as a good source in your particular niche, site visitors will come back for more.”

So that’s my tip – Now, what's the dope on your success?

The Fine Print

i. You can only use Market Leverage as an example network in your submission.
ii. Your entry can be submitted by a text or video comment on this blog entry. For a video comment, please upload your video to Youtube, tag it with “Market Leverage Share Your Secret” and submit the link to your video in the comments section of this post.
iii. All entries must be submitted by 7pm on December 31, 2008.

Other Stuff I Dig

Intel Launches Core i7 Processor, Mass Animation and Digital…

by Missy Ward

The Intel Core i7 launched this week and is getting some great reviews. This processor uses the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture and apparently has many advantages over its predecessors.

I am not a tech blogger, so I will direct you to these reviews (ExtremeTech and HotHardware) so as to not mess with the cosmic forces involved in the geekery of it all.

In speaking with Michael Brito via email earlier, he alerted me to two new social media projects that Intel also set in motion this week:

Mass Animation – a Facebook application that brings together animators from around the world to work collaboratively in the creation of a professional 3-D quality animated film, titled “Live Music”. There is also a Mass Animation Fan Page on Facebook which provides even more current information.

According to Michael, “Basically, the way it works is that animators can choose to download different scenes “or shots” that are categorized as being easy, medium or hard. Then, they have to download Maya software, animate their shots, upload back to the application where the community can vote.

Each week during the animation, which officially launches tomorrow November 17th, Dell will be giving away a new DELL Studio XPS™ desktop computer powered by the Intel® Core™ i7 processor to the animator with the most votes. For the Grand Prize winners, each animator whose shot gets selected by the director to be in the final short will receive an on-screen credit and $500.”

Read the full Press Release.

Digital Drag Race (DDR) – Now this is cool! Pre-selected leading designers are given the same computers, loaded with the same software and race against the clock for the assigned design challenge. The winner is selected by a panel of three judges.

There's a video up that shows a Digital Drag Race taking place and I already have my favorite 🙂

Busy week for Intel. Not sure how they can get all of this accomplished at one time. I'm still trying to work on my simultaneous Tweeting and Walking skills. (Yes, I still haven't learned my lesson.)
