PMachine was one of the companies included in my story from eons ago, Escape From Silicon Valley. Since then they have made enormous progress, released new updated version of their CMS, Expression Engine. And now they are conducting a new contest, the ExpressionEngine Shootout which will give away cash and other prizes to folks who come-up with cool EE templates etc. You can see the Shootout site here. For some odd reason, they asked me to judge the contest, and I accepted. I say odd, because I don’t know design that well. Especially when compared to the judges who all have awesome design experience and equally amazing portfolio of work. What I do know is that I am picky like hell when it comes to web design. (The n-versions of GigaOM are proof of that!)
