Tofugu’s ThankYou Postcard Contest Winners…Everybody wins!

Started by tofugu · 1 year ago

I was dreading having to choose my “favorite” postcard shot from the ThankYou Postcard contest, but, somewhat luckily, we only got four submissions.

    it kinda does explain things as a whole.. but moreso it doesnt specificly explain much >.<
    if you ever seen battle royal and its sequal... its sorta like that.. it related directly to the first one.. explains like .. the meaing behind things that happend loosely.. but in the end your still left with a "wtf" moment that is golden when watching this stuff

    to call it a sequel does it little justice in my eyes..i like to think of it as an extended cinematicly relevant transit to an inconclusive detour of identical nature...
    being able to fool oneself takes a critical amount of skill which id like to say ive mastered over the years >.<"

    That would be GREAT, I really can't find it anywhere.

    Eh?I'm not an English teacher....I think my English typing skills are horrible, and it doesn't help that I constantly talk to foreigners. All I can really say to that is...I use spell check a LOT. haha.

    That was a nice positive spin put on the lack of entries lol, guess your a glass half full kind of guy.

    If you did a part deux I'd probably enter

    I think you'll find that most people who knew about the contest, wanted to participate but they didn't get their cards.

    Wow, all of them are very creative. I would have entered, but my postcard went to my parents place, and I have yet to go visit home from school since it has arrived.

    I'd enter once I get it :)

    week. Hopefully it didn't get lost somewhere :(

    I didn't really do much to mine except cut out the background (which is now easier in CS3). I just saw Koichi's picture when he first posted the contest and just imitated his pose. And being that the background of my original picture wasn't anything near interesting, I just cut it out and replaced it with a bunch of Godzillas. Believe it or not, I was going to make a Godzilla hang out of my nose, but the picture was already unattractive enough, haha.

    However, I did want to know how you didn't have a glare on your glasses when you took the picture. (Assuming you used your isight camera to take that picture). If not, then nvm.

    I wonder if Edward's AFB sell Apple  products. Would be nice to save that extra $15-$16 from taxes.

    Back in Oregon? Where'd you go?

    I'm making my way into Oregon sometime this fall. I have some newborn nieces and nephews I haven't seen yet.

    Ah bummer. I found your youtube too late. :( I am currently learning Japanese at my local college and wanted to participate. My instructor does not teach quite the way I would like to learn. I hope your videos will help though. Oh well. I will be sure to watch from now on so that I do not miss a thing. ^.^ Good job, by the way!
