Help Decorate Eric's Office! UPDATE
Eric's office is totally boring. There's a big blank wall next to another big blank wall and I can't take it any more. So we're looking to you, yes you, to help him out!
So please print out the PDF, color or decorate it in any way you want, and send it to:
Eric's Boring Wall
Instructables
489 Clementina St.
3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103
Our printer does weird things to colors so we can't accept emailed or PMed images. All the art will go up on Eric's wall. One artist chosen at random on Dec. 22 will win a copy of The Best of Instructables, Volume 1. Bonus points if you don't fold it.
UPDATE:
We can't randomly select one out of one entry and we still haven't seen any robots so we've extended the Date of Randomness. Also, everyone who sends something in will get a patch.

You can if you want, but the contest is long long over.
Well, it must be getting pretty boring again, having all those same robot pictures in there year after year...

Are we still allowed to send them in even though the contest is still well over?
Is it too late to send one in? Now that finals are over i have some time....
You can still send one in. We'll be choosing a winner today (hopefully), but there's still more room for more robots on the wall!
We did get them! I guess Eric was hiding them.
He was hiding them because they were his favorites, right?
You can say yes, even if it's not true.

maybe you can do that on purpose for a random robot
I think they just don't want to bother with our pictures.

i was wondering if that was a direct question to weissensteinburg I thought gmj was asking him for a favor...
Ah...you know, you're probably right! I overlooked that interpretation; thanks.

Hmm, so does my printer, sometimes. From here I always get a yellow Robot when I print but he looks more orange on the screen of course, a touch of color blindness doesn't help me out either ;-)
I'm hoping I'll be able to send out some colorings along with an extra special gift on Thursday. I'm mostly posting this to pressure me into doing so. ;)
I only colored one robot because it was especially epic. A timeless romance with heroes!
Never heard of this guy! But who cares! (I peeked on your website too!@)

It's true, but anyone willing to dig for it is worthy of looking. :D And gorgeous is just how I'd describe him, hahaha.
Wow, that's a unique one. Looking forward to getting it in.

I'll send one in! I wasn't going to due to lack of time but now i have time. Sweet!
They updated the text above. You have until 22 Dec, so go for it!

Let's see, thats $27,760 + working the booth at maker faire for 3 hours at 20 bucks an hour, as well as community value... call it an even $30,000?
Ok, let's use your standards (plus a few of my own):
8 regular ibles @ $100 each = $800 (not counting collaborations)
3 featured ibles @ $150 each = $450 (not counting collaborations)
129 forum topics @20 each = $2,560
I haven't a clue about how to find out how many comments....but I will let them pass
Added value to the site.....I haven't a clue there either....we shall let that slide too....
(3810)
Value given to me in keeping my busy with USEFUL and THOUGHTFUL projects - $1,000
Value given to me in keeping my mind busy and therefor delaying the need for Alzheimer's medicine.... - $5,000
Value given to me in helping me NOT slip into oblivion inside my own pit of depression.... - $1,000,000
I guess I owe $1,002,890

You have made 14,322 comments as of this writing, that's $71,610.
What?
We get paid?
(Counts on fingers...adds VAT...)
$80088.00!
That's a living wage, even with the exchange rate!

What wacky system is that measured on? Gringots? Stones? Lentils?

That's because you didn't pay to post those. Pay Eric the prices you charge and he'll pay you right back .(I think)

Lol..I doubt that he even makes that total, from ALL of the user generated content all together!
Wait wait wait, advertising a website for free, Priceless. for somethings theres mastercard.
And! the fact that some of us cant get our instructables good enough to win a contest. Priceless.
my bill would be (on your scale): ibles- $1,300 fourms- not sure how many I have comments- If you counted the comments before my counter was reset- which would make my total 5,000- $25,000 Added value to the site- not sure how that Is determined.... total- insufficient data

Oh please! who needs limits? Just give me all your money, Eric! And take me to your leader while your at it...
Oh man, this should totally win the art contest!!! Print up an invoice and mail it in!
Is the art part a video of you tearing it up while laughing hysterically?
Hey, zach, why is this comment colored pink? Is that special for the high rated comments?
Its pink!? It should be yellow. Either you need to get your eyes checked or you should let me know what browser you're using! :P
But yeah, its because its highly rated. If you scroll wayyy down to the bottom of this page, there should be a (Preferences) link. There you can change your preferences. To disable highlighting, just set that field to 5. Similarly, to disable hiding comments, set it to 0.

Well, it's definitely not yellow! I'm using the latest version of FF. It's actually more peachy. Oo, didn't know about the preference link, thanks.
Well, you should get your monitor checked out: its a mixture of 60% pure yellow and 40% white.
Haha, nice. Instructables... World's Greatest ~~Scam~~ Website.
