The Competition: A Look Into Who’s The Bigger Geek
October 18, 2000

Dennis shouts out the warcry : “OK, how about this? I’ll try and update everyday. Just to make up for my lack of updates. Some days will probably have nonsensical one sentence updates, but it’s worth a shot.” This came after a very long absense of updates from everyone (except me, I still updated once every 3 or 4 days).
Jesse updates about Dennis’ declaration of everyday updates. Kind of a non-update about non-updates. This update is his unofficial registration into The Competition.

Justin surprises everyone (well, me anyway) by updating and completely changing the look of his webpage. He’s the last to join The Competition.
I extend the challenge and come up with the standings of BIG LOSER #1, BIG LOSER #2, and BIG WINNER BUT BIG GEEK. The idea is who will update everyday for the most days.

Jesse declares an added rule that : “no updates that are to the effect of “this is my update for the day: i updated my webpage” or “i have nothing to say today.” He also adds BIG LOSER #3 standing since Justin is now in the race.
Justin calls Andrew BIG LOSER #1 even though Andrew was never in The Competition. If you noticed on my update, I wrote “I’m referring to Dennis and Jesse, who update much more frequently than the rest of you)”. I never included Andrew into The Competition cuz I know he wouldn’t last 2 days. Dennis points out Justin’s update sucked and waited for that day to finish but Justin updates more, thus saving his ass.

This logbook is created.
10/29/00
Justin is BIG LOSER #1 because he did not update on 10/28. Dennis and I stayed up until 12:00 that night to make sure of it. Using DST won’t save you dude.
He doesn’t take it well and calls us geeks. Yeah we’re geeks. Good one Justin. You zinged us geeks good.
Michelle wants to be BIG LOSER #1, but to piss her off, Dennis proclaims her BIG LOSER #2. Take that you geek.
It’s down to the final 3. I like being a geek, we don’t have better things to do.
