Prizes for a design competition?

Hello,

My design club on-campus is putting together a competiton around public
transit. We're inviting people for about an hour and a half to come in and
share their wacky, crazy design ideas for public transit of the future (it's
a bit more structured, but I'll spare you the details).

One of the things we haven't decided on are prizes ... I want to give
imaginative (yet not too expensive) prizes - novelty items somehow related
to design, good or bad, would be perfect. My price range is ~$50 Canadian
for the 1st prize, with a suitably lower priced 2nd prize.

ADMIN: AOL is getting complaints about our list, so I must remove you.

I don't know who you are, or why there have been complaints about our list,
but I am being requested by my host to remove all aol.com e-mail addresses
from our lists. I will do that search and remove people this evening. Sorry
for the short notice, but this has to be done.

I'm sorry that someone felt it necessary to say that we were spam, but alas
that is the new world we live in.
Gmail is a great alternative for anyone who would like to keep receiving
these messages.

I do hope you figure out to stay apart of our community.

A Patent on Rich Internet Applications

Hey, I made some Flash 3 animations in 1999. Doesn't that mean I
invented the concept of internet applications?

"A patent has been granted to a relatively unknown California Web-
design firm for an invention its creator says covers the design and
creation of most rich-media applications used over the Internet.

FYI: Telecom Event: From the Home Network to the Ultrabroadband Media Cloud

This event offers some analysis of the high-level "environmental" context of what we're doing.
Friday, April 21
Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI)

>From the Home Network to the Ultrabroadband Media Cloud

With broadband moving forward, one must think ahead to the next stage ... If every home has one gigabit connectivity and all the information devices are interconnected, what are the implications? ...

The technical complexities are quite extraordinary. At the same time, they take place in an environment where consumers have low expertise.

Zip Code Entry

Our web site, http://www.tires.com, requires the user to enter a
zip code before we can show product. This is due to product mix,
availability, and pricing.

My question: Where in the site flow is the most appropriate place
to ask for the zip code? Where would we get the least site bounces?

Some sites, such as http://www.autotrader.com request the zip
code on the home page.
