I’ve reviewed all projects and offered lengthy evaluations. Dan and Scott have an email with my decisions in their in-boxes. I’m tired…but loved the process…and the variety of ways everyone responded to the contest.

The top 3 really stood out. Several made me jealous. All taught me something about them as people. A great collection to be asked to review and explore.

Thanks, Dan — Cheers, Christian

P.S. Now…where is my pizza? And don’t send me a Second Life link with a 50cents-off coupon to go to Dominoes.

I mean, what are we here if not professionals?

Curious. Have you sent me, and/or Scott, ‘directions’ for the judging process, time-line, and your vision for assuring quality assessment as we go through a really remarkable set of entries?

And will you be sending pizza our way to massage the long hours ahead? (he smiles curiously)

Cheers to you for pulling off a brilliant on-the-fly concept. No doubt that it will pick up steam — beyond a ‘meme’ scheme — in the days/weeks/months ahead. Anxious to see not only who we see as the clearcut winner (or winners) at evaluation’s end, but also what the post-beta version (2.0 — oops, sorry for using that phrase on your blog ;) my friend) will be in time (much like what year two over at the Univ of Chicago will be like, as well.

Cheers and good luck getting us in motion this weekend.
Christian
