Time's 'Person of the Year'
In today's Time Magazine, there is an invitation to make a nomination for the 2006 Person of the Year. They are asking for a video nomination to be uploaded to time.com/mypoy .

Here's your chance to put Dean and Woody in a great spotlight! Imagine how many creative hits they will get from everyone's video archives!

What? Is Dave not good enough?
It's a shame I don't have a video camera otherwise I would submit one.

Re: Time's 'Person of the Year'
Honestly if the FIRST community decided to nominate one person not 3 the chances improve. My feeling is that Dean would have the best chance of it with his new wheelchair and other new inventions.

I agree. He's the FIRST person most out there right now.

Re: Time's 'Person of the Year'
It has to be DEAN! Woodie, errr. maybe! But I would steal him and make him a professor for one of my ENES courses in a heartbeat first.

Dave? Maybe he needs to just conduct kickoff from the International Space Station!

Re: Time's 'Person of the Year'
I really would have to say Dean. He's made great strides in technology, not the least of which being FIRST, among other things. If only I could find a video camera...

Re: Time's 'Person of the Year'
Seriously if one of them was nominated and the whole FIRST community backed them they would almost have to win good idea!

Re: Time's 'Person of the Year'
I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble, but does Dean Kamen really fit their definition?:

"The person or persons who have, for better or worse, most influenced the news during the past year."

I believe Dean and Woodie deserve their credit, but I don't think it makes sense to nominate either of them for this award. Dean was on the Colbert Report a couple weeks ago... but other than that I don't think Dean, Woodie, or FIRST have been in the news (let alone influenced the news) very much at all over the past year.

Definition aside, that isn't to say I wouldn't *like* to see Dean win it .
