If you’re a MCP/MCDST/MCSA/MCSE/MCTS/MCITP/MCT, then you need to head on over to the IT Grand Prix and join the BLUE TEAM now!!!! (http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/prix/p/registration.aspx)

Once you’ve done that, go into the BLUE TEAM forum and find out how you can WIN a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate or a really cool “E=MCT” T-Shirt.

If you want the reason why…well we’re trying to win the IT Grand Prix so that we can donate a $10,000 cheque to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. So that in itself is a really good reason to sign up.

Time is running out…you’ve got until Thursday evening to be in the chance to win!

Good luck and THANK YOU for your support!

CompTIA UK have recently (re)established a UK presence and to improve their FaceBook presence (http://www.facebook.com/CompTIAUK) they are giving away a chance for you to win a computer with e-learning material for you to pass the A+ certification.  They’re also giving you the Exam Vouchers too!

So sign into your Facebook…become a fan and click on the link on the wall…it’s just that simple! Well there is a small matter of explaining in 50 words why you should win…

Good luck…the competition ends on 30 April – so be quick!

I’ve borrowed the title of this blog post from the tagline of  Grosse Pointe Blank. An excellent movie starring John Cusack and Minnie Driver. It’s all about a contract killer who is either in love with Minnie Driver or has a new found respect for life. If you haven’t seen it, then you must! The soundtrack has classics from the 80′s and the humour is very black.

Anyway, what does this have to do with technology? Well it’s April. The start of the new financial year and you now have only 3 months to take advantage of Microsoft’s Second Shot Offer. This is what provided a catalyst for me to get a “move-on” with my certifications as it provided a safety net in case of the dreaded “f word”.

There are two links to be aware of:

If you are a student/learner/faculty member of an academic institution; you can benefit from a 55% discount AND a Second Shot by registering here.

If you’re a standard IT Professional; no discount, I’m afraid, but still you get a Second Shot here.

Second Shot offer expires June 30 2010. Please read the above respective websites carefully.
