Hi you guys,
Well there you have it! Three winners, a bunch of honorable
mentions, and there are about 75 others as well -- which were great! -
- but didn't make the top 25 in first-round voting. They will be on
the Firedocs RV - RV Oasis Haiku page as well (coming soon), I'll
post the link when it's up.
I appreciate everybody's participation. It was cool, and fun, and
creative, and god knows we can use all the humor in this subject we
can get!
This contest was a good example of how scoring can vary depending on
(a) participation, and (b) voting system/analysis. Well, the ones
that won, are really good! I am not fond of the yahoo polls options
for this sort of thing though, so next contest, I will do something
on the Firedocs RV website instead.
For those greedy for details on such things, the detailed scoring for
the first round judging is here:

and the second round (polls) spreadsheet is here:
http://www.firedocs.com/remoteviewing/PJRV/Haiku2ndScores-Nov02.pdf
I have several other ideas for creative ventures but they're going to
have to wait, probably until late Feb or Mar because from end of Dec
to early Feb I am a nutcase with overwork-panic, as my primary income
relates to an online university course and I do most of the work for
it, so 'new terms' mean not only registration issues, but my print on
demand business that goes with it (that's the mega-time issue), plus
always new programming for new features and beta testing etc. Since
the work is sporadic it's hard to find staff temporarily (as I work
from my home, temp agencies won't rent people to me...) so usually I
end up doing enough work for 3-5 people, barely sleeping, and by mid-
Feb I crash. In case you notice me to be mildly psychotic during
this upcoming period please understand.
Rich Krankowski is a backup moderator of PJRV and I may have to plead
for his help through January. :-)
Regards,
PJ
