Keeping it in the family....Author: jawapro

I had originally planned to blog about what was in the bag (see previous post) or perhaps about my trip to Hobart to see the VMware presentation, or perhaps about Ebays decision to hold off on it's Paypal only rule.
But something else has come up.
Remember when I was still a uni student - there was that competition for itsnotcheating.com.au? I entered my little story about King William Gates and the evil Lord Macintosh. I won first prize - a Vespa scooter (which I sold).
Then, I was asked to turn that into a video, and got an Xbox360 for my efforts.
Well - the competition was on again. I couldnt enter, cause I'm not a student anymore.
But my sister is and did.
She didnt come first ($10,000) unfourtuantly.
She didnt come second (a laptop) or third (a phone).
Unstead - she won the People's Choice award (4th place sort of).
Unlike the other places, People's Choice is all about how many people comment on your post. Remember a month or more back when I suggested people check out her blog - that's why.
Well - Emma got the People's Choice.
And what was it?
A trip for 2 for 2 weeks to Europe!
I'm not sure where the trip goes other than London - but it's still very exciting. Even if London was the only place it went, it would be exciting.
3 prizes (if you count the xbox) from Microsoft in the family. Awesome!
And what's more, my sister said she might take me with her. For some reason she didnt seem to think they'd accept Fidget (her cat) as her travel companion.
Now I guess I have to go and get my passport organized and keep on my sister's good side....
