Something Magical

Ok, so I have decided to enter myself in to a contest to host a series of parties in New York City to roll out a new product by Logitech called the Logitech Revue. What is it? It's a box that goes on top of your HDTV that runs on the Android (powered by Google) platform and will integrate everything your TV has to offer with everything the internet has to offer. I have been watching and learning about this for several months now as I think it is going to be just flat AMAZING! To tell the truth, I am itching to get it.

Anyway, back to the contest. Logitech is having a contest, which I entered, to find 3 "Hosts With The Most" to run a series of parties promoting the Revue in NYC, L.A. and San Francisco. I am running for the NYC position. There is a number of reasons I decided to enter. One is that I am a gadget junkie. I love, love, love technology. Two is I am a Google freak. I think Google is the 800 pound Gorilla on the internet and they continue to expand exponentially. The Android phones have hit the market with a vengeance and now Google TV is on its way. It seems to me they are centering themselves to be the HUB of everything we use today. The third reason I decided to enter is because I think it would be crazy FUN! I love being at the front of any room. I love to laugh and get people to laugh with me. If its not fun, I'm not doing it. lol. The Fourth reason is it is a paid gig. That always helps. I mean, I would probably do it for free but hey, if they are going to pay me, I am in!

The last and real reason I decide to enter was for the challenge. I knew this was something that would take a TEAM of people to accomplish. A group of dedicated individuals would have to get behind it to make it happen and there is just SOMETHING MAGICAL about getting and seeing a group of people come together on a common cause to achieve a common goal. In all of my experiences in life, I find this to be the most rewarding. To see others work for others success. To see one persons blood and sweat go to another for no other reason than to be there for them. It is a very NOBLE thing really and the truth is that it's the true sign of a leader. Service to others and many leads to greatness, not service to yourself. So the challenge of bringing people together to make it happen is the real reason I decided to enter. When I win it, I will have won it on the shoulders of great people. I would be merely a spokesperson for the people that really made it happen and the feeling of accomplishment for all involved will be an experience they wouldn't have had otherwise. This is what I give to them by entering and the joy I receive, win or lose, by seeing people come together to work towards it, makes me smile.

Having said all that, if you would like to become a part of the TEAM of people that are working to make this happen. If you would like to experience the joy of winning or the agony of defeat as one with the rest of us, you can join our group on FaceBook here...
