Calling All Mongrel Minions! I wanna have some fun and would like this as a Christmas present. The site http://www.workingwithrails.com/ has this lame popularity system that''s kind of irking some of the main Ruby contributors. I think it''s kind of funny, but would like to demonstrate what an army of motivated people can do to these kinds of popularity contests. So, as a present to me, I''d love for everyone to go vote for me on the site. If you can, use fictional or historical characters for your profiles to add to the chaos. The goal is to put me so far ahead of everyone else that they have to reset the system. It''s a Chaos Christmas Calamity! You can recommend me by just clicking: http://www.workingwithrails.com/recommendation/new/person/5455-zed-shaw Or, do it by going to: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/5455-zed-shaw And clicking the difficult to read link in the gray box that says you like me (you really like me!) To sweeten the deal, I''ll take all the people who contribute to the mayhem and put them into a lottery to receive 10 of the very first MUDCRAP-CE certificates signed by myself. Now that''s a hot deal! Merry Christmas, or happy holidays if you don''t celebrate. P.S. I''m *not* promoting or affiliated with the site. I think it''s mildly amusing. -- Zed A.

Haha... this is hilarious, I hope you make it - I do think their popularity feature is totally the wrong attitude. You have my recommendation ;) Merry Christmas everyone!

[Mongrel] 93, We Can Do It! (Was: What I Want For Christmas)
We''re at 93 people. That will put me at #2 tonight when the new stats are calculated. But that still isn''t enough to dethrone The King of the Internet. Keep on recommending me so we can do this! http://www.workingwithrails.com/recommendation/new/person/5455-zed-shaw To recommend me. And remember, everyone goes into a raffle for 10 MUDCRAP-CE certificates signed by me. And in case you wondered, here''s my platform explaining why you should vote for me: http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2006-12-25.html Merry Christmas! -- Zed A.
