Do you know someone who is fighting, has survived, or died from pirate attacks?

So here’s the deal, this blogger I’m Facebook friends with (and whom I’ve mentioned here), is having a competition to drive up an attentive reader base.

His website is Okdork.com and topics he typically discusses surround those of entrepreneurship, shoe tying and finger painting. Funny, witty and a all-around geek.

Anyways, if you goto his site and look to the right you will see he has a poll currently running. If you would be so kind to vote for Movementarian, this is what I will do for you.

You each get a shot of winning these prizes if I win, all you have to do is be the first one to claim one of them by posting a comment at the bottom of this post.

And it doesn’t do any good to not vote, because if I don’t win, you can’t get the prize (so make this viral and tell your friends as well).

His prizes include:

1. A 3 month link on a highly visible part of my website
2. I will write 5 articles that you want. You can post them on your site or do whatever you want with them.
3. I will do a write up on you or your business on my site.
4. I will let you write 1 post that will go on my site.
5. You will get an early copy of my Facebook book and my Easy Guide to VC eBook.
6. I will send you an eCard that says thank you.
7. 1 hour of consulting on your design/functionality, marketing or product development.
8. If I ever see you in person and you want one, you get a hugï?Š
9. A signed autographed 8 x 10 of myself. Hahaha. I have these but I doubt you want one and hopefully realize this one is a joke.
10. I will buy you 1 book from my top 11 reads for all college entrepreneurs and young professionals.
11. Ever lasting appreciation.
12. Bonus: Jeremy from People Like Us Collective is throwing in a free t-shirt for the winner. He only makes 200 a printing.

All you have to do is vote and then leave a comment in my blog about which prize you want.

There is one catch… I just ate a bunch of crusty oatmeal and I need something to laugh about.

Therefore, your comment must be funny or witty in order to be considered valid. Linking to funny and witty things - including YouTube videos I haven’t mentioned previously - counts.

Summary: I am not keeping any of the prizes. You all get them. First one to make funny, is first to get “the money.”

Good news for nerds and nerdlings everywhere, Lego finally released their new robot kit.

Choice quote:

The kit, which retails for $250, is aimed at robo-philes great and small, from children to university scientists making prototypes. It also stands to grab share from, or contribute to, the global personal robot industry, which will reach $7.9 billion by 2010, according to the Japan Robot Association.

Dammit, give me 1983.

Robots were anywhere and everywhere.

They had cool flashing lights on every imaginable surface area.

They made whoosh-whoosh noises while traversing the must-have non-carpeted surfaces.

And they came with bulky, battery-draining remote controls that never worked when it was near another device that emitted RF’s.

So what is the State of the Personal Robot Industry now?

We’ve got that little vacuuming robot, and whatever lame toy robot Best Buy is cavorting in front of the new movie releases.

Whatever happened to Teddy Ruxpin?

Surely some Eastern Block teenager with too much time on his hand could hack the stuffed animal today and give him the ability to play the Nintendo DS. I mean, just look at ROB. He could beat an entire game with a simple gyroscope.

Who needs the Konami Code or Game Genie when you can have personal automaton?
