That is an odd subject line for this post, but I came by way of the latest awesome prize in the Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack Contest through my friendship with Jennifer Leet of The Dirty Shirt. Jennifer is one of the members of the “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” IZEA Insiders Crew. We met this past May at Downtown Disney and are going to be hanging out again soon at IZEAFest. Jennifer’s Blog, The Dirty Shirt, is one that you should have on your feed reader because she has a constant stream of contest posts for amazing product. She was able to secure two brite-Viewâ„¢ CinemaCubes, one for a contest on her blog (I hope I win) and one to supply to my Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack Contest.
What is the brite-Viewâ„¢ CinemaCube?HD Multi-media Playet and BitTorrent Downloader*
CinemaCube is a multi-format Audio/Video Media player, with resolution up to 1280X720 HD (720p). It supports RM, RMVB, MP2, AVI, H.264, VOB, MOV, MKV, DivX, Xvid, WMV video formats, MP3, Real Audio, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WAV audio formats and JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG image formats.
It can play media files from plugged USB storage devices or from computers in the same network. With built-in bittorrent p2p file sharing engine, you can share/download media files on the Internet without having to turn your computers on.
This little device would be something any techno-geek would love to have in order to play all their media on their TV. I’d certainly like to have one so that I could watch some of the podcasts I’ve downloaded, along with other videos and it would be great for viewing my photos as well. I’m really appreciative to Jennifer and to Zinnet, Inc the makers of the brite-Viewâ„¢ CinemaCube for their generosity in helping me providing this awesome prize for this contest!
Contest has now Ended – Winners to be announced on Market Leverage TV Network WrapUp Channel on August 17 at approx 10:30am EST. You can go and view the Finalist Videos though. – Updated 08.12.09
Ultimate IZEAFest 2009 Prize Pack
I like to do things in a big and bold way. Ted Murphy does as well and IZEAFest 2009 is the biggest and boldest yet. Imagine 3 days and 300 bloggers invading SeaWorld (and as I recently learned Busch Gardens Tampa!) to learn how to be better bloggers, win prizes, party and even hang with RealShamu! That is what you can do if you attend IZEAFest 2009.
I mentioned Busch Gardens, check out this latest announcement for details.
Yes, you get to go to not 1 but 2 Awesome Theme Parks all for the price of 1 IZEAFest ticket! Busch GardensHowl-O-Scream, Here We Come!

One lucky winner is going to hang with me at IZEAFest 2009 and go on a very special outing and that lucky person will also receive the Ultimate IZEAFest 2009 Grand Prize Pack! But never fear I have prizes for two runner ups as well.
