HP Magic Giveaway: Morningside Mom and Thoughts on Poetics & Tech

Posted on 29 November 2008, at 11:02 am, by Judie Lipsett

Today’s HP Magic Giveaway sites are Morningside Mom and Thoughts on Poetics & Tech. Bear in mind that each site will have their own requirements for the giveaway, and they may also have their own rules which will not necessarily apply on other sites.

Here’s a quick synopsis of today’s giveaway sites’ details…

Morningside Mom:

Hp and Microsoft has delivered the prize package to me – and as of today, Saturday November 29th – the contest has begun. Now it is my turn to explain the rules to you. Here they are:

1) This entire prize package will be awarded to one person.

2) However, this winner will be chosen based on how they plan to use this prize. To be more specific, I will be awarding this prize to a winner who will put the package to positive change or towards a charitable cause. For example, this person might work at an underprivileged school, the winner might know someone working at an underfunded health clinic, or maybe they’ve heard about a Boys and Girls club that might need a donation. Regardless, this person should plan to have these computers affect lives positively.

3) The winner has the option of sharing this prize, it is their choice. In other words, I can mail part or all of the package to the winner or could mail part or all of the package directly to a cause, charity, etc.

4) Each entrant MUST explain to me in 250 words or less why their cause should be chosen. This explanation must be mailed to morningsidemomgiveaway@gmail.com with the subject heading “My Entry to the HP/Microsoft Magic Giveaway”.

Thoughts on Poetics & Tech:

To enter the HP Magic Giveaway on my blog, Composite: Thoughts on Poetics and Tech, please do these three things:

1) Comment intelligently on any post on this blog!

A) Respond to a post. Pick something that interests you: feminism? disability rights? programming? Gadgets? Maybe a specific poet, one of the poems from my Anthology?

Tell me what you think of what I wrote.

I’m impressed if you are smart, engaged, un-boring, and being real! Make me laugh! Make me think!

B) Tell me briefly, in 3 sentences or less, how you would “Share the Magic” – what would you do with the prize? Who will you give the extra computers to? Please use links if applicable.

C) In your comment, include a link back to your own blog, or some other place on the net.

Visit Thoughts on Poetics & Tech for the rest of the rules.

As always, if you enter on another site we would appreciate you letting them know that we sent you. We would also love to hear back if you are the winner; we love “happy ending” stories!
