Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

The folk at Engadget are organising a virtual sandcastle competition. It's virtual in that it can occur on any beach, at any time - all you need to do is create a sand-sculpture of a gadget, take a photo and send in it to them.



Maybe not with a sand camera-phone though...

The rules are simple enough:

• No Photoshops (duh)
• Big minus points for iPods—they just too easy! (Ok, ok, you can do it well, then do it really well!)
• Bonus points go to specific devices (i.e. do a Panasonic Toughbook, and not just a generic laptop-shaped thing)
• Email your entries (try to send at least two pictures) to engadget att gmail dott com with the subject line “Summertime Sand Sculpture Contest”
• Deadline for submissions is 11:59PM, Sunday July 12. Don’t say we didn’t give you enough weekend hours!
• Grand prize winner gets their sculpture featured on the site, and a little something summery-special! Like, say, an Oakley Thump?

Pity I'm not getting to a beach in the next few days. Unless they've hidden any in the 'Dam this summer.

Hey, if it works for him, it's got to work for the rest of us...

Damn, that show is so good. Spader and Shatner have a cracking on-screen chemistry. Even if they do stick cigars in their ears...
