Coming Soon . . . The First Hourly Carnival of Johnnie

We're counting down the time until we can launch our first ever Carnival of Johnnie.  The point of this carnival is to bring  together the Internet's only blogger (see  Wikipedia for more on Solipsism),  in a friendly competition to improve all my writing skills and recognize those among me who are doing such a great job.

There are a few details and kinks to be worked out.  First of all, having this contest run hourly may be a bit too often, since the authors and judges may need to take a nap once in awhile.  So we're considering maybe semi-hourly.  In this way we should be able to keep the same quality standards up indefinitely.

Another outstanding question:  the same quality standards as what, now?

Though many of our judges come from Cameron Park, judges are being considered from as far away as Cameron Park.  Above all we want the judging to be fair and without bias to any particular aspect of me.

We'll probably rotate the semi hourly carnivals between this blog and my other blog in Sacramento, the one in Amador County,  and my blog on Real Estate Webmasters.  However we don't want to play favorites, so all my blogs are invited to participate.

I am also still working on judging categories, but so far I'm considering the following:

• Articles about me.
• Articles by me.
• Articles in which I generously focus on consumers and fix the many problems of our industry, warning consumers of the dangers of unethical slimeballs other than me, except insofar as they don't exist (see Wikipedia for more on Solipsism).
• Articles that link to articles about me.
• Articles that have incoming links from articles, where the links come from articles about me.
• Articles where I get mad at somebody and call him a poopie doo-doo head.
• Articles where I talk about future Carnivals or past Carnivals of articles about me.  (I think this article might be a potential winner in this category.  Wish me luck).
  
• Articles where I talk about "How to Choose A Realtor" and everything in there leads you to something about me.  For example, "Make sure you get one over six feet tall, named John, who works for Elite Properties in Sacramento, and has a dog named Lucy.  Otherwise you're likely to be working with an unethical slimeball poopie doo-doo head".)
• Articles containing musings about whether I love chocolate.

Remember, carnivals are a fun way for me to get together as a community.  It's not a popularity contest.  All of me has something to share that's worthwhile, so don't be afraid to participate.
