I didn't know where to put this... so I figured here is a good place. I started a blog recently so I can keep track of what I win online and actually receive. People are always asking what I win and it's hard to keep up with it unless I list it out somewhere else so I can link them to it. So... that's how I came up with... Shane's Hoard theshanehoard.blogspot.com/I know it's braggy, you don't have to tell me that. But I also want to experiment and see which weeks are my busiest, which are my slowest, etc., You don't have to follow it, you don't have to comment on it. You don't even have to look at it. But for anyone curious when I talk about such things in the IRC, here it is. I hope to be able to take pictures from this point forward. It's just a matter of learning how to post them on blogger.

I'm guessing that you have a Jeep, Shane, otherwise that headlamp is not going to do you much good. Unless you hook it up to the proper DC power source and use it for indoor lighting. I've never seen that done before. Anybody ever try using a car headlight for indoor lighting? Maybe it does not work very well, and the reason I've never seen anyone do that. Maybe I'll give it a try. Or hook up a turn-signal for intermittent indoor lighting. Just to drive myself crazy.

Like what you wear when you go spelunking. @pasta: Thanks! I should be getting some big packages either this week or next week and hopefully can photograph the items in the box then once I have them unpacked!

If you'd like people to follow the blog, I suggest posting about how/when/why you enter these contests and share information or any secrets you have on how to win as well. Maybe talk about the the larger contests individually. Just having a list is a bit dry.

I'm planning on getting a template together already for that. The first post was just something that I could have so I don't forget about those things I've posted. I don't plan on having one big post with all of my experiences. It'll be spaced in between the lists and pictures posts.
It probably won't be something like DAY 1 WINNINGS DAY 2 HINTS AND TIPS DAY 3 WINNINGS
But it'll be sporadic and when I get the time to write it while I'm also reviewing video games and so forth.
I'm thinking more like...
DAY 1 "I won this big box from ____. I entered via ___ thanks to being tipped off via___. Inside you can find ___ PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE" DAY 2 Good places to look for tips on contests Day 3 RANDOM

MaybeNever - didn't ya read the blog? I have been using the Internet for more than ten years now and I did not get this far by clicking on slightly mysterious links described using innocuous phrases that are probably slang references to some kind of donkey/midget fetish porn.

Really? Really?
*shakes head* either way, I'm going to do what Jazzy suggested with my next post.

I've been using it for five, but I must say that's exactly how I got this far.
