I share an office with Matt (a.k.a. M-Cat, but only on mornings he calls me J-Dog). He’s helping me be rad.  You see, I was a dork. That’s not hard to say -— all the cool ones these days started as dorks. But back in the day I could tell you all about the BBS I ran on my Apple IIe (and eventually Mac SE, Mac IIsi, and PowerMac 6100) or about all the light and sound systems at my school’s theaters.

It’s not like I was in the A/V club. I wish I was, because then I could make a video for Etsy’s video contest (well, technically I couldn’t because of my affiliation with Etsy, but let’s not sidetrack the story here, kids). But I did learn to write well enough to get you to read to the second paragraph of a blog post promoting our rocking Handmade Moment Contest. You know, the one with $10,000 in prizes where you create videos promoting Etsy and the handmade movement, and we take the winning entry and use it in our marketing campaign.

You have heard of it, right?

99. Woot: 100! More Woot: 101, 102, 103….

So what’s new this week?  Since announcing our judges, we’ve seen a flurry of new activity.  We now have over 100 contest submissions! New entries have been flying in, and each morning we all wake up excited to see what our creative community has made.  You gotta check ‘em out: we’ve got animation, claymation, stop motion, live action and more. Each and every submission is a creative expression of what handmade means.

Got mad skills? You have until August 31, 2009 to submit your video to the Handmade Moment Contest and be eligible for a prize. Feeling shy? Well, tell a friend! The more the merrier, so read the FAQ and submit your handmade video today.

There is still time to get your submissions in! Visit www.etsy.tv today for more details.
