I'd been admiring those Flip video cameras and can now proudly say I nabbed one in a company costume contest -- Thanks, Animoto! Competition was tough: a Duff Man who came complete with branded cans velcroed to his belt, and a hilarious take on the company president's dog Bruce Lee featuring a hand-made head-to-toe fur suit, a cone of shame, and even a miniature replica of the other office dog clinging to him. Too funny. In the year I've been with them, Animoto has thrown us a ton of amazing karaoke parties (one of which involved a fast exit when things got a little out of control), outrageous bowling parties, and dinners at Mario Batali joints -- what a great place to work!

But while I did bag this contest and one other - a company chili cookoff a few months ago - I was severely trounced by our ass-kicking CTO Nate at our 80's night party. Nate can pretty much never be topped for his outrageous Webby Award acceptance speech leveraging the same getup. Rock on, Animotos, and thanks again!

(PS: Keyboard cat has now also entered the Wired costume contest on Facebook. Vote here!)
