Hi all,

I'm fighting the good (geek) fight in iiNet's Top Geek competition, and would love if you could provide me a vote on any and all computer/mobile devices that you use. Also, please feel free to share the link to any others. :)

The link (and the dorky Captain America pic of me) are below; please click on the Red vote button:

Hey all; I actually didn't win the Top Geek 2.0, as I got knocked out during the Trivia round, but had such an awesome time. Geeks are awesome fun to be around (and drink with :D)!

The article was from an interview I did midweek, and they had printed out and circulated for the day afterward. :)

Thank you all for the votes and support during this competition! I highly recommend you all compete in it next year for Top Geek 3.0! :D

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support!

Truthfully, I'm very pleased with how far I got, so I think I might sit out next year's Top Geek.

That being said, I HIGHLY recommend members of this forum participate in next year's Top Geek contest. It's plenty of fun along the way, and you get to meet a whole bunch of interesting people along the way!

Thanks again :)
