Island Caretaker job were indeed too late. My entry, although hiiiilllarrrious, was over the allotted 60 second time frame (by a mere 0.25 seconds) and therefore was rejected. By the time I got the email notifying me of such the deadline had passed and it was too late to re-submit. Le sigh.To you my 5 or so loyal readers I say this, please remain calm. Before you go and do something drastic like cancel your subscription to Cricket World Magazine or boycott the marsupial exhibit at your local zoo I must tell you this... It was my fault. Shocking I know. Even though my video editing software said 1:00 minute exactly and theirs said otherwise...it is still my fault. Being the classic Type A procrastinator that I am (I'm not even sure there is such a thing as a Type A procrastinator...I will look it up...later...) I left this till the last minute which gave me no time to fix and re-submit.
Now you may want to sit down for this next bit...realistically I knew that my chances of even cracking the top 50 were slimmer than slim. GASP! Bite your tongue you say? You were a shoe in you say?? Well thank you but you are too kind. Now that the Top 50 candidates have been selected I can say that the competition was fierce. There are a ton of great video applications that took people much more than an evening and a jar of Vegemite to make. I will be big about this and I ask you to do the same...SO PLEASE do not send that hate mail to Paul Hogan...his mail box is already full.
Here are a few of my favorite applications that made the top 50 including a couple from Canada:

I hope to dive into why I have been so busy on my next post...Can you believe it is March already!?!?
