Haven't heard anything about the Seattle Time 3-minute Masterpiece yet....all they said was that winners would be notified on or before May 27th. The deadline to enter was April 28th and SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) just announced their schedule yesterday and the 3-minute winners will screen on May 28th....uh we want to know before May 27th....so we can tell people....duh!!! Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
On a completely unrelated note I've been playing the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google for the last 24 days...each day they release a new puzzle to solve starting April 17 and the contest ended May 10. The first 10,000 people to complete the 24th puzzle and register become finalists in the Quest. So I finished on the 10th and registered and nothing happened so I figured oh well I wasn't fast enough I didn't make it into the top 10. Then yesterday afternoon I got an e-mail that said they had officially received my registration and I had successfully completed all 24 puzzles and they would notify the 10,000 finalists via e-mail on Monday May 15th. So I might be one of the 10,000 after all. I can't believe I have to wait until Monday!!!
If you make it into the finals you receive a cryptex in the mail and 4 stills from the movie. You have to find the code in the stills that will open the cryptex and inside will be instructions on how to get to the final challenge. Then the first one to solve the final challenge wins the Grand Prize.
What's the Grand Prize you ask...holy moley...let me tell you -
- First-class round-trip air transportation for four (4) to New York, Paris, Rome and London.
- Four (4) nights deluxe hotel accommodations and ground transportation for four (4) at each travel destination.
- Four Leisure Select (train) return tickets from London to Paris and London to Avignon.
- One (1) Sony® 40" BRAVIA™ S-Series LCD HDTV Television
- One (1) Sony® VAIO® VGN-TX770P/B Notebook computer
- One (1) Sony® Cyber-shot® DSC-N1 Digital Camera
- One (1) Sony® Platinum DVD Dream™ System
- One (1) Sony® NV-U70 Portable Navigation System
- One (1) Sony® DPP-FP50 Digital Photo Printer
- Four (4) Sony® Walkman Core™ MP3 Players
- Four (4) copies of the Frommer’s Guide Books and Day by Day Guides to New York, Paris, Rome and London.
The total cash value of the Grand Prize......drum roll.....$128,170!!! So I'm really not expecting to win, I'd be happy being one of the 10,000 finalists, but wouldn't it be nice to win all that stuff!!!
So that's about it. Nothing much else going on.
