Deep Zoom Competition: Find Ryan and Win!
If you attended the Future of Web Design earlier this year you may have pinned your uber-cool business card to the Micorosft “biz card wall”. If you did now’s your chance to find it and check out other attendees cards too.
The team at Microsoft recently sent us over a Silverlight Deepzoom composition of the wall and I have posted it here for you to check out, be sure to scroll around and zoom in and out for full effect.
Microsoft have also kindly donated five webcams and a couple of mice for a little “Deep Zoom” competition fun.
Find Ryan’s head and win!
Somewhere on the wall is a headshot of Ryan Carson, just like this one:
If you can find it and would like to win a webcam or mouse all you have to do is the following:
1. Find Ryan (Hint: you will need to zoom in quite a way)
2. Take a screen shot of the section containing Ryan’s head and email it to keir[at]carsonified.com along with your full name and address
Competition Closed: We now have our seven winners! See the comments to see if you are one of them

Would I install Silverlight to play the game? Nope sorry. Tab closed.

On the basis that people won’t want to install silverlight, this may be easy to win!
Shame I am at work.

Cool idea. Let’s just hope you haven’t inserted lots of Ryan look alikes to throw us of the scent!

I tried earlier to install Silverlight on a PPC, but it ain’t work. And INTEL machines are not coming into our house!

How much did they pay you to say that, Ryan?

@Ben – That’s bizarre. Someone is commenting as me – yikes. I’ve deleted those two comments. Someone’s obviously got an axe to grind.

Somebody’s impersonating you? Who would do such a thing?
So I guess I was wrong to assume that Microsoft paid Carsonified to do this competition in order to publicise Silverlight?

@Ben – We agreed to do this competition for Microsoft as a follow-up to their kind sponsorship of FOWD (which means we could charge you all less for tickets). The competition was not part of the sponsorship deal.
