Okay dork boys, geek girls, funky foto fans and drool suckas, it’s your turn.

I read in the Globe + Mail the other day that blogs are dying. Lots of folks started them
when they were all the rage but soon grew weary of posting. Or, I guess, discovered that
they really had nothing to say.

That article got me thinking. Why did I start drool? What do I have to say?

I started it on a whim. I like the idea that each week can be a little mini project, that I can
throw up out-takes, shots from my archives, random thoughts, shit like that.

Some weeks it’s tough to find a subject. I sit down and jot some stupid thing, or post
some throwaway pix. Later I might find out that someone (or other) thought that that post
was one of my best.

Other times I put my heart + soul into it, think it’s the best post ever, and no one cares.

Funny, that.

I had no real aspirations when I started drool, no ambition except to do it and see what happened,
what I came up with. So far I’m mostly enjoying it. And I think I’m pleased with the traffic. My
latest stats tell me that get over 150 unique visitors a day and that they stay for 14.02 minutes.
That’s the average.

And I think: Who are you?

So, this week I’m running a contest, trying to find out.

All you’ve got to do to enter is post a comment here containing a few sentences telling me why you check
drool out. What you like and/or what you don’t like. There’s a comment link just under each post’s title.
The winners will be chosen by a random draw.

The first prize is a little framed print. “Super 8, Wooster, Ohio, 2005”. There are also two runner-up
prizes…..my booklet: IN DREAMLAND.

I think that not everyone checks in to drool every week, so I’m leaving this contest open until the end of
the month.

Fill me in.
