Alas, I didn’t have time to place collectively a brand new present information this 12 months, however I’ve an thought.
This has occurred earlier than. (By “this” I imply the not having time to place collectively a brand new present information a part of that sentence, not the having an thought half; I’ve by no means had an thought.)
Whereas in some years I’ve been in a position to produce a present information (here’s one from just a few years again), a few years in the past I asked for your suggestions. And whereas a few of you despatched in some good ones (for example), I felt there might have been extra participation.
I like the concept of crowd-sourcing a present information. Whereas I typically come throughout attention-grabbing and enjoyable present concepts—for instance, these:
which I put within the Heap of Links the opposite day—you all are, collectively, extra more likely to do a greater job at this.
So I’m asking every of you to counsel a present within the feedback: one factor you would need. Although it is a philosophy web site, the present needn’t be philosophy-related, although in fact it might be.
Embody the identify of the present, a hyperlink to the place it could be bought, and a line or two about what’s good about it. Preserve it beneath $75 (a value restrict helps the ideas be of extra use to extra folks). And simply one suggestion per particular person.
When you observe these directions (and those beneath beneath “fantastic print”), you’ll be entered right into a drawing to win the present you steered.
If greater than 100 folks remark with ideas, two winners might be drawn. (If the participation in that is super, I’ll, at my discretion, add extra winners.)
I’ll hold feedback on this open till Wednesday, the thirteenth, and I’ll put up by the fifteenth a video wherein I choose, at random, the winner.
Sound enjoyable? I hope so—slightly vacation enjoyable out of your philosophy information web site.
Right here’s some “fantastic print”:
- Options of present certificates, present playing cards, cash, and so on., will not be eligible for the drawing.
- One suggestion per particular person.
- Items should price lower than $75 (US) in an effort to be eligible for the drawing.
- For a present to be eligible for the drawing, it should be doable to order it on-line from a tool in the USA.
- To enter the drawing, you’ll need to remark utilizing your actual identify (not less than first identify) and a reliable “.edu” electronic mail deal with. Your electronic mail deal with will not seem in your revealed remark. Word: should you recurrently use that electronic mail deal with and a pseudonym when commenting right here, in an effort to keep away from inadvertently revealing your id, add a “.DN” to the top of your electronic mail deal with. For instance, in case your identify is Joe Smith and your electronic mail deal with is [email protected], however you recurrently remark as “PuzzleDude” right here, enter your identify as “Joe Smith” or “Joe” and your electronic mail as “[email protected]”. (If you’re a daily customer to or commenter on Day by day Nous however do not need a “.edu” deal with, you might be welcome to make a suggestion however your eligibility for the drawing will depend upon my discretion at recognizing you as a daily customer and with the ability to get in contact with you by way of a working electronic mail deal with.)
- Options of gratuitously offensive or inappropriate items might be deleted at my discretion and the individuals suggesting them might be ineligible for the drawing. No, there might be no dialogue of this clause within the feedback on this put up.
- If doable, the profitable present(s) might be ordered between the fifteenth and the 18th. Delivery is clearly out of my management, so I could make no assurances about when the items will arrive, or their situation, and so on.
- If, by the point of the drawing, the profitable present is offered out, backordered into 2024, or in any other case not obtainable, the winner could have the choice of requesting another present of comparable worth.
- Each from time to time, some feedback that shouldn’t get trapped within the spam filter, typically the commenting system malfunctions, and typically the positioning goes down, and so on. Briefly, there’s no assure a submitted remark will truly present up, although inside purpose I’ll do what I can to verify for “misplaced” feedback.
- I’ll have forgotten to incorporate one thing on this checklist I ought to have, wherein case I’ll replace it later.
