Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.

No particular reason I post this, except that it tends to reinforce, and thereby give me a reason to mention, my post about the Bloggie nominations being open now. Vote early, vote often!

Operation Global Media Domination: the Bloggies are back, and raincoaster’s got ’em (in her sights)

Posted on by

TIA, not TMIOkay people. Let’s not beat around the bush. You know what I want: I know you know what I want.

Give it to me here.

What You Need to Know

* A “weblog” is defined as a page with dated entries.
* The contest is open to any weblogs that existed for a period of time during the year 2006, so weblogs that were discontinued during 2006 are also eligible.
* Only one nomination form and one finalist voting form may be submitted per person.
* E-mail addresses are required to vote. You must use your own address and confirm the validation e-mail.
* If you attempt to submit a second ballot, your first one will be replaced.
* In the nomination phase:
o URLs are required.
o The maximum number of weblogs you may nominate for a category is three (3) for most categories and four (4) for Weblog of the Year.
o At least three (3) different weblogs total must be nominated.[you know where the blogroll is, right? Use it; I did!]
o There is no limit to the number of categories a weblog may be nominated for.
o Nominees have to fit the category they are placed in.

These rules may change at any time, but they probably won’t.
How It Works

From now until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, January 10, 2005, anyone can nominate their favorite weblogs.

That Saturday, January 13, three panels of 50 voters will receive an e-mail. It will list the weblogs that have receieved the most nominations in ten categories. They will have until 10:00 PM EST on Thursday, January 18 to privately submit their five favorites (six for Weblog of the Year) for each category. The five (or six for Weblog of the Year) receiving the most votes will become finalists. I (Nikolai Nolan) will only vote for the panel in the case of a tie for fifth place. This panel is on an opt-in policy; there is a checkbox on this form for it.

On Monday, January 22, the finalists will be announced and voting will be open again to choose the winners.

Voting will close at 10:00 PM EST on Monday, January 31. The winners will be posted sometime between Sunday, March 12 and Tuesday, March 14.

Make me proud, people. Make me proud.

PS: apropos of nothing, I would just like to mention that I’ve recently learned a really nifty blowjob trick (equal-opportunity).

PPS: There’s a Nutrigrain bar in it for you if you nominate me.

new game: the raincoaster challenge

Posted on by

TIALookie everybody! All that famewhoring paid off: I’ve got my own game.

Me and Kevin Bacon, we’re likethis. Even William Fucking Shatner hasn’t got a GAME! If you thought I was insufferable before, just watch out, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!

Check it out: the raincoaster challenge, by Richard Mahoney over at Envelope Filter: tasty harmonics in a creamy static sauce.

  • Anyone can play. Everyone should play. Tell your friends.
  • Raincoaster should be in the first 10 results, partial credit for first 20.
  • Successful searches should be posted in the comments.
  • Use of the term ‘raincoaster’ in the entry kind of defeats the point, in case you hadn’t guessed.
  • Funniest/weirdest term wins bragging rights.
  • Visitors to the site should hit google with the search terms in the comments. If we get over twenty or so in a day it turns up in her blog stats.

But the FIRST RULE of the raincoaster challenge is, you must go show the luv to the inventor of the game. G’wan, give him a hit; he deserves to be hit, for feeding my ego!

I'm so totally important, though. Just ask anyone! Well, anyone who's heard of me.

raincoaster: now with 10% more evil!

This site is certified 31% EVIL by the Gematriculator

 This is a definite improvement over last time I ran the ol’ raincoaster blog through the Evilness Detector. Interestingly, the evilest phrase in the entire blog was:

 if you must the email is downtowneastsidereporter at hotmail dot com but comments will get a quicker response time pages about raincoaster: the blog, the entity, the delusions of grandeur terror alert levels, multilingual edition war is not my language search: blog stats 257,034 hits the latest from the diseased brain of raincoaster would you watch saddam hussein die?

Ah, what a great way to start the New Year: with a raise!

It’s ten o’clock. Do you know where your stats are?

I certainly know where mine are.

In the toilet.

I suppose it’s a function of being offline for oh, say, three weeks off and on. Thanks to a unique combination of impecunity and historic windstorms in Vancouver, my apartment has been internetless for some time.

Naturally, I had to evacuate. I’m currently blogging from Ontario, which is, I admit, a little far to go, particularly since my neighborhood is dotted with free public computers; the problem is, of course, that these computer sources, being staffed by civil servants, aren’t open during the holidays or after four pm, which is when anyone really worthwhile really just gets going. Also, of course, I am in Ontario and not the Downtown EastSide now, so it would be really inconvenient for me to be using those computers, even supposing I could wake up early and everything.

But not to worry: Operation Global Media Domination will not be deterred by a momentary blip caused by the unique Perfect Blogstorm of the combination of the anniversary of the Birth of Jesus, the Windstorm of 2006, the Blight of Odeo, and the Great Internet Famine. Indeed, I’ve got a beaver shot coming that will be heard ’round the world, so stay tuned!

Refresh early, refresh often!
