                            Amazing! It's void here!
                                        
I'm waiting for one of my clients to call (he said he'd call at 2:00 pm, it's
a bit past 2:00 pm) so I'm killing some time as I usually do—browsing the
web.

While browsing, I came across the TiVo Giveaway, [1] where you submit an
essay of upto 250 words why you should receive one. Not that I watch all that
much TV anymore, but it might be fun. I check the rules: [2]

> PRIZE IN THIS CONTEST. CONTEST VOID IN ARIZONA, FLORIDA, MARYLAND, NORTH

So much for entering the contest.
