I know you want to follow the iPod saga in all of it's glory - be sure to add me as a friend on MySpace and get all the updates as they happen. Well, they will happen here as well, but then again, MySpace is so much neater, and all the cool kids are doing it.
It has been two weeks since PodShow called for my address to send the iPod to, and now I am starting to get worried. Even Adam said on his show last Thursday that it should have been there by now. I know it will eventually come, and I don't want to sound like an ass bugging them for something I am getting for free, I am genuinely worried it got lost.
I'm just hoping there is some kind of a tracking number they can track.
Instead of being excited when the mail comes at work, every day I am more and more upset about it. I just hope everything gets straightened out.
Worried.
Heh.
Thank you to everybody who donated to TroyNeedsAnIpod.com. If you heard the Charlie today, you'll know that my quest is going to be fulfilled. However, that brings me to the donations...
I am going to keep the donation section open under August 31st. At that time, all donations will be withdrawn, and the sum of the donations will be donated to the Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, IA. I'm sorry I can't make tax-deduction slips for everybody (I don't think I can anyway) - but rest assurred that your donation will be going to a great hospital doing great things for kids.
I will keep updating this page with more information, links to contest entries, and more. Thank you again.
If you want to donate directly to the Blank Children's Hospital, please follow this online donation link.
I took an exhausting 1 day trip to Washington DC for a funeral-type life celebration, and thought I would take my case to the big guy himself.
Here's your sign...
Last hours for Adam's contest at http://www.dailysourcecode.com! There are only a handful of entries posted so far, so register a domain name mocking this one (hey wait a minute) and go over there, join the show, and post it up on the show comments.
TroyNeedsAnIpod.com however will continue to be up until the fateful day that I acquire my own iPod goodness. Did I mention its my birthday Tuesday?
Find out more about the contest by clicking over on the right hand side under "Audio Files" - AC said OK to post them, so you can find out all about YOUR chance to win an iPod from the man himself, Adam Curry.
My birthday is next Tuesday - what would be better than being able to do a Sound-Seeing tour of me going to Best Buy to purchase the iPod that YOU helped me to buy? Make your donation today and that's exactly what I will do. If I don't raise the funds by Tuesday, the web site will be up until I do... or, at least until I scrape together enough pennies to go get one to further help my podcasting.
If you do not want to be mentioned in the podcast for donating, you can also specify that in the donation form itself. PayPal is fast, easy and secure and allows you to donate with your credit card, or your bank accoutn or PayPal account.
Keep watching this space for more announcements.
