I love prizes, don’t you? I especially love prizes that are tech related. After all, I love all things tech and I’m always willing to try out some new gadget. And the Teen Credit Card design competition over at PayJR is offering some really great tech toys!

First of all, you may remember that when I discovered PayJr I wrote not one, but two separate posts about their worthwhile service. If you missed my reviews, then be sure to read them now. I can’t imagine any parent not loving everything they have to offer.

Oh, but that isn’t what this post is about. Now, PayJr is running a design contest. All you have to do is submit a custom visa design and get your friends and family to vote on it. Not only will your design be available as a PayJr VisaBuxx card but you could also win (are you ready for this?) an Apple laptop! No kidding! That’s got to be one of the most awesome prizes I’ve seen offered in a very long time. Even the second place prize, an Apple Video iPod, or the third place Apple Nano are pretty cool to win.

You don’t have to sign up for an account to win but I’d recommend that if you have kids, sign up anyway. I just can’t say enough good things about their services. So put on your creative hat, come up with a winning design, submit it and then take a look around the site. I’ll bet you’re as impressed as I am!

We’ve been through this before. I’m a pack rat. I’ma pack rat in real life and I’m a digital pack rat, too. Every file, download, zip file, font, text file, gif, whatever, that I’ve ever owned, is on my hard drive, a CD or a jump drive somewhere. Heck, I’d rather add more memory than delete any of my fonts!

If you’re like me and love fonts, you really ought to download Free Fonts and Dingbats at UrbanFont. I just love this site because not only do they have a great selection of free fonts, but it’s laid out with a total Web2.0 look and feel. They have a great selection of Dingbats, too.

While you’re there looking around, be sure to check out their forums, where you can talk about the specific fonts or get advice on working with fonts. And for some of the nicest articles on fonts, be sure to take a look at the UrbanFont Blog.

By the time I’m done at UrbanFonts, I’ll need to add another stick of memory for sure.
