BlogWorld - Day 2 (The gods of sweepstakes smile upon us)

I’ve got tons of interesting stuff to write about Blog World Expo.  I learned a lot, met many interesting people, and I’ll share the tips I jotting down in my notebook in case any of you can benefit from the info.  For now, I just want to tell a quick story.  There weren’t too many vendors at BWE, which was good, because there wasn’t much time to see the exhibits between the seminars.  Many vendors were giving away freebies in drawings - things like iPods, iPhones, XBoxes, and even the elusive Nintendo WII.  You had to be present for some of the drawings, which were held right at the end of the show.  Flippy and I were making our last pass through the floor before going to our final seminar, and as we walked, I won two 4GB iPod Nanos, and Flippy won an amazing 8GB iPod Touch.  Isn’t that just freakish luck?!  We haven’t decided what to do with them, although I’d be interested in trading one of the Nanos for a Flip Ultra Camcorder if there was someway I could do that.  PetFinder now allows video, so I’d love a way to take quick and easy video of the cats.  I’d also like to do some stuff for YouTube, like videos of bottle-feeding.

It would have felt nice to have won one thing, but three was unimaginable.  Money can’t buy happiness, but winning stuff can put a smile on your face!

Oh, a quick cat rescue update:  I called the vet today while we were driving down to the Convention Center, and the cats are doing well.  They’re not freaked out and they seem to be patiently, and in good humour, awaiting their grooming.  We’ll try to get down to see them tomorrow, if we can walk :p Thanks for the good name suggestions, too!  I love the idea of changing Pinto’s name to “Bean”, because my sister had a cat named that, and I thought it was a great name.  So, for now we’ll call him “Pinto Bean”, with emphasis on the “Bean” part.  I need to read over the suggestions for Shiner, because I can’t remember them all, but I know I saw a few I liked.  Keep ‘em coming!
