I think it would be cool for me to win “Balsamiq Mockups”.

I am the jack of all trades at my company and I am always creating mock-ups of screens. Usually I am using modified HTML , or gasp, PAINT and Irfan View. It is a horrible solution but it gets the job done with what I have. I would love this application, it would make my mockups look more professional and assist me in doing my job. I read this blog whenever this an update due to the fact I am the dedicated Sharepoint master as well.

Thanks,

John!!!!!!!!!

I would like to win Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008. I have used MS S&T 2003 upgraded to 2005 and it is a wonderful product. I recommend this software to anyone who wants a quick off-line counterpart to mapquest. BTW-The SharePoint Buzz is a great source of information for anything to do with SharePoint and a great RSS feed!

As a soldier in Iraq that designs our Sharepoint Portal for over 10,000 viewers (rough estimate), I can think of no one else that deserves this more. Also due to the fact that I get paid next to nothing compared to my sharepoint designing civilian counterparts. And the Army won’t buy this software for me, so I would love to get

Microsoft Expression Studio

And I can start going into the myriad things I have to deal with on a daily basis that no one else does:

Power Outages
Cold Showers/No Showers
Not the best food… nuff said
IRAM threats and IEDs going off daily (maybe not on my base per se, but it could happen!)
Having 2 other roommates shoved into a milvan container with a door (12′ x 30′)
I can think of others, but I figure if this didn’t convince you, then nothing would.

I’m most interested in the Balsamiq Mockups, but would love the Expression Studio as well. I would like to have them to help me start branding my sharepoint site.

Just to have a resource like the SharePoint Server 2007 Training Videos would be HUGE for me. I am doing my darnedest to learn as much as possible about MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0 but feel totally inadequate as I work with the Jimmy Neutron of SharePoint, an absolutely brilliant young man (he’s my oldest sons age, for pete’s sake)who knows SharePoint like those amazing MVP’s out there, if not better. Anything to increase my knowledge and bring this old IT gal into the 21 century would be great!!

Hi there,

I am very interested in the SharePoint Server 2007 Best Practices book. I have recently landed a position with the responsibility of building out an Intranet Solution built off SharePoint. It is quite an intriguing position and offers challenges everyday. There is not a time I don’t ask myself how others would configure SharePoint Sites or set up permissions as an example. I think this book would alleviate some of the second guessing I am doing and further my confidence with MOSS.

I can’t think of a better reference.
