5k gets wiredthe .ultimate design kontest gets notived by wired.

the result is a comment by a despaired jason...
Hey, man, don't be too sad, there is far too much good webdesigners that will compete already :)

i just can't think of the shame i would have experienced after watching veen's, jason's, alice's... or granp-pa Zeldie's entries.

What makes me wonder is :: can k10k's team win ? i'm curious to see what they can do with accessibilty and low-fat in mind, it would definitely bury the 'ala affair' that made some hot-talks weeks ago in some dark areas of the web.

another interrogation, will judges be cruel enougth to view them through some funky toy...

And Slashdotted the same morning. I feel sick from all the email . . . especially the incredibly dumb questions.

Do you have any amusing examples of said dumb questions, so that we may laugh and enjoy the knowledge that we, as superior beings, would never ask such dumb questions, no never..?

Er, uh, dumb questions, eh? You can just ignore MY e-mail, Syl, okay?

there are no dumb questions, merely dumb question askers.

Wow...traffic from Kottke, Slashdot, Wired, Metafilter, etc.Maybe I should hold a 6K contest.

No, there really are dumb questions sometimes. (Though I agree with the sentiment jessamyn). I will make page at some point with some of the funniest ones . . .
