Yes, due to the request of several people, I will be holding an MOC contest (BBC style) in my blog. I'm also wanting to do this because there is no BBC Contest this month. I will also be entering this contest, but I haven't gotten a head start on my MOC or anything like that (I'm still not sure what to do), so it's not like I'm cheating.
Theme
I'm sure it's been done before, but I like the idea; so the theme of this contest is: Self MOCs! That's right, you need to make a self MOC to en
Your mission in this blog-based contest is to build an MOC of absolutely anything! The catch is that the MOC has to include two or more launchers (Cordak, Midak, Kanoka, Rhotuka, etc.). They can be two or more of the same launcher, or a combination of different launchers. Be as creative in their placement and use as possible (whether or not they function is up to you, but still, try to be creative).
Creations can have up to 50% system parts.
Entries will be accepted starting now, and to
Bumping since it's Tuesday the 4th.
With the elections coming up really soon, I find myself curious about which candidate people people are supporting. I've seen a few entries already of people stating who their supporting, and I'd like to do the same.
I would like to make known, however, that I'm not locking this entry right away. I ask that you post here saying which candidate you support, but THAT IS ALL. There can be nothing else in your comment. I don't want to break BZP rules her
Alrighty, here's the Preliminary Poll to my Self MOC contest. The 15 entries have been divided up into three groups of 5 randomly. I put all your names in a hat and had my dad choose 5 of them (which was one group), 5 more (the second group), and then the 5 remaining (the last group). Here are the entries, click for full picture:
Preliminary Poll 1
kyuubi 5
Aklan 2

pulsar444 (Vrillai) 6
(The) Juggernaut 11

Here it is... the moment everyone has been waiting for... the Final Polls. There was a tie in one of the Semi-final Polls, so both of the entries advanced to this round. Because of this, there are 4 entries to vote for, but you can only vote for one...

Voting in this poll begins now, and ends on Monday, January 7, 2008 at 11:59:59 PM. Prizes for winners are as follows:

That's right, so many other people have made their own awards, I finally decided to do so myself. If you deserve any of them, comment here to say which you are taking, and feel free to take them, but if you don't deserve them, don't take them; it's as simple as that. These awards are fashioned after the comm badges on Star Trek Voyager. I call them Astronomy Awards, and they are full of win.
- Red - For having a blog.
- Green - For having over 500 comments in your blog.

Ok, as can be seen in the Preliminary Polls, the final tallies have been marked, and the winners of each round are shown. The top three (I know I said two before, but two wouldn't work out the way I wanted it to) spots in each Poll have advanced to the Semi-final Poll, but only the winner of each Semi-final Poll will advance to the Final Poll. As was done in the Preliminaries, the spots for each MOC was random.

This is a question I've thought about for a long time. I've paid more money for the 350 songs in my iTunes than most of my friends have spent on their 5000+ songs. It's painfully easy to steal songs off of the internet or from friends, and the mentality of us humans is; "Hey, why should I spend $11 on that album when I can get it from *insert name here* for free?".
Places such as iTunes make all of their (bought and downloaded) songs copy protected, which is a good step in preventing the st

I posted this in Nukora's blog, and it's one of my favorite paradoxes.
You go back in time 60 years and find yourself at a train station. You're marveling at all the things that you see when a woman bumps into you. She says "excuse me", etc., and pretty soon, you're having a nice conversation with her. You talk and talk and talk, when the woman gasps
I received this today, and I thought it'd be good of me to share. Quite cool, too.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat (more than 1 but less than 10).
2. Multiply this number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply it by 50.
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758, and if you haven't, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
Now you should have a three digit number...
The first digit of
...visualize a member's physical appearance and personality by the pictures in their banner or avatar? I find that if a member has a picture of a person at all in either their banner or av, I sometimes (subconsciously) picture the member (and whatever he/she's saying) as that person.
Do you do that?
Or are blog entries throughout the BZP Blog Community getting a bit more tense and controversial (in a bad way)? Please PM me if you ever feel that my blog entries get like that, as I try to keep them from being so.
Name change up very soon, and I'm still trying to get a bunch of comments in this entry. .
Possible new names for myself:
The Argetlam
Argy
Ta-Su-Xai
Hawkeye
The last one was thrown in there because I'm a big M*A*S*H fan, but anyway, vote here for your favorite one, and the one with the most votes after today will be my new name. Make your voice heard.
Poor, poor banner shop. Oh well, it was quite fun while it lasted. I'd like to open another shop in CoT sometime soon, possibly one with templates for backgrounds and text that you can choose. It would make my job as a shop owner much easier, and I'd be able to work on banners, etc. more often. I will still, however take the occasional personal request, as I really do enjoy making banners.
Also, should my signoff be "The Argetlam", or "Argy"?

On a four-wheeler yesterday at a friends house. I've been on faster four-wheelers, but this was while I was going uphill. I had more fun than I've had in a long time. This friend of mine lives on a farm with land spanning about 4 miles by 8 miles. Lots and lots of room to move around on. When we finished, we went inside and played Halo 3. If all goes according to plan, we'll be doing the same thing tomorrow as well.

It seems like a good idea, so I'll help all of you win MOCotW by telling you many of the things I'm looking for when I pick am MOC of the Week winner. These are in no particular order.
1. Custom - The more custom your creation is, the better. Custom MOCs really show the skill of the MOCer. Still, you have to make the customness work. A custom MOC that doesn't look the greatest will lose to a non-custom MOC that looks awesome.
2. Name - Yep, as small as it may seem, a good name is act
I've been cleaning my room lately, and found a really cool picture in a really cool picture frame on my desk. The picture was taken in mid-May of 2005, at Epcot Center. One of the theme parks at Disney World in Orlando. The picture has me in it, and as most pictures of people on BZPower, my face is hidden... and by a much nicer one I might add.
Me at Mission: Space in Florida.
That was the best week of my life. Oh well, memories are all that matter.
Well, that was my feeble attempt at using an attention getter as a blog entry title, but due to my current lack of entries, I have a question for you...
What is the actual name for a Black Hole?
The previously mentioned total Lunar Eclipse finally occurs tonight. Earth's dark shadow moves across the lunar surface starting at 7:43 PM Central Time. Along the East Coast, the Moon sits 30° high in the dark eastern sky by then. For those on the West Coast, the Moon rises minutes after the partial eclipse begins, just as the Sun sets. If you're on a hilltop with a clear view of both the western and eastern horizons, you might get a unique opportunity to briefly see both the Sun and eclipsed M
How many of you would like an entire rundown of all the major celestial events of 2008?
Please comment even if you're only slightly interested so I can know how many people would view it.
