Spot a Wheel, get an iPad

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Neighbor Caitlin emails that the start-up she works for, kikin, are giving away three iPads this month to folks who’ve spotted a kikin wheel. They have placed 300 kikin wheel stickers around the city, and all you need to do is tweet them a photo if you spot one @kikin_inc . “Every Friday (for the duration of the contest) we will randomly pick a winner from all entrants and reward them an iPad.” More here http://www.kikin.com/blog/kikins-find-the-wheel-sweepstakes“.

Thanks for helping us get the word out about our sweepstakes!

Definitely follow @kikin_inc on Twitter for clues and updates about the sweepstakes.

Good luck to everyone in Ditmas Park!

Not to be too get-off-my-lawn about this, but isn’t there a better way to get the word out than defacing public property?

You might want to show that they will be removed by a certain point, just as garage sale signs etc are removed. Though I am not upset by it in general, I did wonder whether you’d take them down and I am sure others wonder the same.

Dncmilch: I think your forgetting that this is BROOKLYN! C’mon. I dont care how much “Victorian Flatbush” is fooling you, but this ain’t the burbs.

No, I know, and believe me, I’m not taking myself too seriously. If my panties are to be wadded, there are bigger, better targets than this. I get it.

That said, it does irk me JUST a little bit that an already-strapped city will eventually have to pay to clean up after someone’s advertising campaign. There’s enough vandalism to go around already.

Plus, this is the Internet. If not for semi-anonymous whining, what else is it good for?

Onion Focaccia February 7, 2012
Onions and yeast, ah the smell of it makes me droolyOnions and wheat never go out of season (really just have a long shelf life) nor do they go out of style. In the dead of winter a hot loaf of bread is a breath of fresh air. Focaccia is a non-baker's friend. Its just pizza dough with extra oil. You don't have to knead if you have a food processor, […]
