Kasey’s da Man + Vote for Montero + We’re Losing to BASKETBALL?!?!

By: Laurie | March 30th, 2009

The usual Monday things. You know. Same ol’, same ol’.

1) Yet another Sounder is Player of the Week. This time it would be our Kasey Keller.

We could get jaded if this keeps up. But I’m pretty sure it would be nicely jaded.

2) We need to prove our ability to vote. Again. For Fredy Montero. Again. For goal of the week. Again. Go here and vote as often as possible. Fredy is currently leading with 71% of the vote, but don’t get complacent. See #3.

3) Speaking of Sounders needing our voting fingers, remember last week, when we came roaring back in the song contest after going down early to teriyaki?

Apparently we got complacent. We’re not just behind now, we’re WAY behind, and the Sounders need us again.

Because teriyaki may have folded without a fight, but the Bring Back the Sonics people seem to be lobbying with a vengeance. They are bringing people out of the woodwork to vote, and they are currently leading, 1543 to 811.

Here’s the thing, though. If you’ve already voted, chances are it won’t count if you vote again. The rule seems to be one vote per IP address, at least for some unspecified period of time. (But right after I typed that, the system made a liar out of me by accepting another vote. So be sure to try.)

What this means, though, is that you’re going to need to go get your friends, family, office mates, the people on all the library computers, and the random guys looking at porn playing Team Fortress 2 at Starbucks. Round all of these people up, then send them to this site and make them vote.

Or wait. Actually, send them to THIS site. My site. Because basically? I’ll do anything for blog hits.

  Actually, voting is cookie based. To vote multiple times, you have to close the page, delete your cookies, and then when you return to the page you should be able to have your vote count again. I know this because I personally took the vote from 776 to 800 last night before my cold forced me to bed. It can be a little cumbersome, but if multiple people are doing it, we should be able to make up the difference.

  Thanks to Carlos’ research, I’ve come up with a genius method to bump up the votes. I’ve done it 50 times already, and I’m going to keep going until the lead is healthy!

  For those who want to help, you’ll need Safari, so people with macs should step up! You can use any browser with private browsing (aka “porn” mode), but Safari’s implementation is easiest to use:

  1) Set your homepage temporarily to the poll’s url.

  2) Activate “Private Browsing Mode.” Private browsing makes cookies completely temporary, so each tab or window has its own set of cookies. Each time you close a tab it’ll also delete all the cookies and history of that tab (see why it’s called porn mode? ;p).

  3) Open a new tab, vote, open a new tab, vote, and repeat!

  It figures that as soon as I post that, it stops working for some reason.

  I’m going to figure this out though! We’re close.

  (aka “porn” mode)

  And my female readers are now going, “HUH?!?”

  But my male readers are going, “Oh! Okay!”
