I just won a RustyBrick Laptop Bag!

Barry Schwartz, had 100 promotional RustyBrick laptop bags made. Since he only has 100 of them & it’s almost the holiday season, I assumed I wouldn’t be getting one because they would all be going to clients, employees, friends, family and any one of a hundred or so search VIP’s.

However… a few are up for grabs. Barry mentioned on his personal blog that he needed to come up with some contest ideas so he could give some away. My suggestion was that he have a “Contest Idea” contest. Or… Whoever comes up with the best contest idea gets a bag and so does the person who wins that contest.
Barry liked the idea enough to send me one of the first bags filled with Search Engine Roundtable YoYos!
So… Help Barry come up with some cool contest ideas and get yourself a sweet new bag.

I’m going to keep at least one or two of the SER yo yos, but I’ll be giving the rest away. Just email me your address and I’ll send you one while supplies last.

I had no idea that satanism was so prevalent among SEOs.

I have no idea why you would come here and say something mean like that.

If it was a joke, it was a bad one.

If you’re referring to the fact that Barry is Jewish and I’m a Buddhist… Well, I feel sorry for you.

If you’re referring to the hand signal… It’s called a “Shaka Sign” which is Hawaiian sign language. Here is a quote from Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka_sign

Hawaiian locals use the shaka for various meanings, like “all right”, “cool”, “smooth”, etc. Residents of states other than Hawaii who use the shaka may describe it as meaning “hang loose”. It is also used to convey what locals in Hawai’i call the “Aloha Spirit,” a gesture of friendship and understanding between the various ethnic cultures that reside within Hawai’i. It can also be used to signal a “hello”, “goodbye”, ” ’till next time”, “take care”, “Alright!.”

Please accept my apologies. I was just browsing your site and noticed you had a lot photos with that hand gesture. To those ignorant of Hawaiian culture it looks like you’ve been listening to too much thrash metal.

No problem bro! - Aloha.
