Jonathan Schwartz manned the CEO helm at Sun Microsystems for almost four years. But now that the company’s been sold to Oracle, he’s tweeting off into the sunset. Hey, at least he counted his haiku syllables right. More »

It’s finally here. Iron Man Day. And today, five of you will be walking away with a double pass to see the new film starring Robert Downey Jr, plus an Iron Man webcam.
The rest of you – well, you miss out. But I’ll be trying to line up some even bigger and better prizes in the coming weeks that won’t involve Haikus, so the less poetic among you can stand a chance as well.
Speaking of Haikus, hit the jump to read the five winning poems. Congrats again!

Although no scientific research has actually been done, recent statistics that I just made up state that 98% of Gizmodo readers are excited about the upcoming Iron Man movie.
That’s why we’ve gone and spoken to our friends at Paramount Pictures to grab us 5 Iron Man prize packs to giveaway. What’s in the prize pack, you ask? Well, there’s a double pass to see the film when it opens in cinemas nationwide on May 1, plus there’s an Iron Man webcam, worth $60.
Now, we know you want to win. And competition’s going to be fierce, so I’m going to demand some creativity here. Simple creativity, but creativity nonetheless. To enter, you’ll need to compose an Iron Man Haiku. Five syllables, seven syllables, then five syllables about the man in a red and gold Iron suit. Doesn’t sound too hard, does it?
The entries will be judged by Robert Downey Junior’s favourite Gizmodo AU editor (I have that on good authority) next Wednesday, so get cracking. And if you want to see what an Iron Man webcam looks like:
