Well, the Olympics are Finally over (don’t get me wrong, its fun watching the world compete for Gold Medals and all, but two and a half weeks??) and that means that the TOTAL medal count is complete. The US came out on top with the highest number of Medals (110) followed closely by China (who spanked the rest of the world with their little gold encrusted necks). The rest of the world was no where close. If you had been paying attention to the blog here at all you would have noticed the opportunity to win 1000 Entrecard Credits by simply guessing the number of medals the US would have with out going over.

Well, we (by we, I mean I) had two total submissions and both were over. Though one was only over by a little margin (15 or so). I decided in the traditional sense of the Olympic Spirit to give 500 to the person who was closest anyways (as I have more credits than I know what to do with at this point).

Riyanne from Blogging from Scratch guessed 125 and has therefore received 500 EC to her account CONGRATULATIONS!!!

But the fun does not stop there!! I’m still having a contest for another 2000 Entrecard Credits!. You still have the chance to win as the contest isn’t over until September 1st!! So make sure you get in on the action!

In case you haven’t heard, the Olympics start Friday night. I came across a really, really, really (YES THREE REALLIES) cool contest by a “mobile im” company called eQo where they’re going to give you multiple chances to win the BLACKBERRY OF YOUR DREAMS!!!

If you have a blackberry, chances are you love it. You hear people gush about their iPhone, but when you held one in your hand, it felt odd. Somewhat alien. Also, you constantly check your providers site to know when the latest and greatest RIM device is going to be available to you (COME ON AT&T enough already, let us know when the bold will be out!!) so you can figure out if you can upgrade or not.

Well this contest takes that worry away from you (its also a good chance for you blackberryless few to get a free one!). Simply sign up for EQO’s daily olympic updates and vote on your favorite story of the day. Thats it. You’re entered to win the blackberry of your choice at the close of the games. How simple could it be??

I must be crazy! I’ve amassed over 2k in Entrecard “credits” and here I am giving them away!!! Thats right!! The month of August is going to be crazy mark’s crazy give away month!! What can you do to win?? three things.

First, comment on the my blog. Thats all you have to do. The EC’er with the highest number of quality contributions will receive 1,000 credits. Thats 1,000 credits for visiting my site and commenting on my posts. What could be better??

How about 750 credits for doing nothing but dropping on my site! All you have to do is drop your card through out the month of August. On Sept First, I’ll pick a winner at random from the top 10 droppers! So thats a chance to win another 750 points by dropping your EC when you stop in to make a comment!!

Lastly, I’ll give 250 EC credits to a randomly selected person. All you have to do is link back to this post (using the trackback URL). Mention it in a post on your blog. Blog about the contest. Whatever. As long as your blog shows up in the comments list you’re entered to win!!

Thats three chances to win up to 2000 Entrecard Credits. Its like I’ve gone mad!! If you’re not a member of Entrecard (WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!!?!?!?!) click the Big E on the gold bar that says drop and you too can sign up. Its an easy way to increase traffic to your blog!!

Not the Georgia Lottery game either, this is something that could be considered more valuable by many. Starting on the 12th (thats Wednesday for you people who don’t know about dates), Charter Communications is opening an auction where you can bid on High Speed Internet for LIFE!! Whats even better is the starting bid is a whopping TEN (YES 10!!) dollars. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT??

BUT Wait! There’s more!! “what?? How can this incredible offer get any better??” Well, you can also enter to win a Wii Game console!! Thats right. A cheap bid on Internet for life and a wii game console all at the same time?? AWESOME! Why its so good, even charter can’t believe they’re doing it.

“I can’t believe we’re doing this” said an undisclosed charter insider.

What do you have to do to get in on this amazing goodness? Its easy. Its simple. If they made it any easier, Gruntled from gettinggruntled.com might even have a chance at scoring! Alls you have to do is Click Here for a Chance to Win a Nintendo® Wii™! It doesn’t get any easier than that.

And remember, the auction starts at $10 on the 12th if you qualify for service so get your bids in early!!

No. Not the little red delicious (though i prefer the Mt. Fuji apples) kind. Nor will you be wining the new $3800 virtually flat apple laptop. What you can win though is a $25 iTunes giftcard good for downloading a variety of music, tv or movies right to whatever itunes enabled device you own.

Did I just hear you scream “How the hell do I win that??” Glad you asked. Its kind of a “You rub my back, I rub yours” (No, I will not rub anything other than backs so don’t ask me perv…). All you have to do is write a post about Delusions of Grandeur and link to this post (so that I get a ping back and can tell you actually did the post). You can write about the new design (of which I’ve received nothing but compliments, or at least, I’ve only paid attention to the compliments), you can write about my awesome generosity (I mean seriously! I’m GIVING AWAY $25 worth of iTunes!) or you can write about how off base I am in my belief that Mike Huckabee should be the next president of the United States.

Write about whatever you want to about this site. The only requirement is that you link back to THIS post. If for some reason, your trackback doesn’t work correctly, make sure to drop a comment here with a link to the post so I can check it out. I’ll choose one first place winner at random (or at least you’ll think its random) for the iTunage and I’ll even pick a second place winner who will get a 125×125 ad spot for a month on the site here (not that thats not a big deal in itself). Hell. I’m feeling generous. I’ll even review the two sites here on Delusions of Grandeur and rip in to you like a lion rips in to a retarded zebra.

So what are you waiting for…. get posting!
