For Lockergnome, Chris' youtube channel is :
http://ca.youtube.com/user/lockergnomeAnd commenting on any and all of his blog posts at chris.pirillo.com gives you a chance to win, since, on the draw date, he is randomly picking one of his blog entries, and the people who commented on that blog, are the ones who he will draw from. Blog comments have to be thoughtful and sensible, not just "give me the computer!".
Aaaand, on the draw date, you have to be in his chat room.
Also, for the record, I've been keeping track of this topic, and it really makes me wonder, at how many people are continously asking "how do I enter?"....Reminds me of retail, and how some customers can be...so....*retaining urge to kill people....*

well, I wasn't confused about this site's entry... and I probably still won't when it comes out. I'm not usually one to ask for help, but his way of doing it was pretty messy, and it wasn't straight up like most of the others.

I just entered. I had to research to figure out some of the answers. Found a couple areas I hadn't been around in, or at least not much.

That was fun.

I've just finished completing the form

Btw, I accidentally pressed back while I was filling it out. My heart stopped for a second when I pressed forward and thank god the form was still there. I completed the form out and voila, all done. But, I have a question. It said: "You have already entered this contest. The winner of the contest will be announced on 2008-06-02."
Does this mean that when I pressed the back button I lost my chance of winning the laptop?

Yeah, OB, those questions on that first page were hard -
"Name", "Address" - I searched all over the BC site and couldn't find the answers!

Just go back and try again. The application will remember the first form and bring you right back to the contest questions.

Thats kinda considered spam unless you've got something to contribute really. :/
I know there's two questions that I'm sure had to be answered a specific way in the first questions, and I bet if you get this one wrong, it decreases your chances by a lot... or something.

I believe Grinler is referring to you going back to that contest site and it will bring you to where you left of. Try it just now and you will see what he means
