As I might have mentioned a couple times, my Twitter Wit contest ends today (Wednesday) at 7PM EST. But I wanted to make a brief post to let you know that we have two excellent judges who will be picking through the entries to choose a winner this week. That dynamic duo will be ... *drumroll please* ... James Chartrand and Dustin Wax.
Chartrand is one half of the team behind the extremely popular Men With Pens blog and the newly launched Escaping Reality and Capturing Fantasy role-playing-blogs-periments. The Men behind the Pens, James and his partner Harrison McLeod, are your go-to guys for any kind of web content, web design and/or consulting. James' Twitter gems can be unearthed here, and Harrison's here.
Dustin Wax maintains a very useful writing blog called The Writer's Technology Companion, and an interesting multi-subject (heavy on the anthropology) blog at dwax.org. He is also a contributing editor to the wildly popular Lifehack blog and a contributor to the anthropology blog Savage Minds as well. If you like what you read, you can hire him for freelance print and web writing at dustinwax.com or follow him on Twitter here. In his spare time, Dustin enjoys collecting blogs and websites.
A big thanks to both gentlemen for agreeing to cast their judgmental eyes upon my readers' words of witticism.
I will be party to the judging discussion as well, but will only break a tie if necessary. So your fate pretty much rests in the hands of these two guys. (I hear James is a sucker for a fine Red and word is Dustin won't turn down a box of smuggled Cubans. Just sayin'.)
May the best man (or woman) win.
PS- Haven't entered yet? Better do so quickly if you want a chance to win the $350 loot bag.
You're too kind. I feel I should also plug my *other* anthropology blog, Savage Minds (savageminds.org) where I'm an occasional contributor along with several other fine anthropological minds.
And I also can be hired at my freelance site, dustinwax.com
But what I really want to do is direct.
Dustin, I have updated the post with those links and some additional snark, free of charge.
When I finish my book, and it gets made into a blockbuster, you're on the short-list to direct, my friend.
