Anniversary Giveaway Prizes On Their Way
Just a quick note to say that I’m (finally) mailing the anniversary giveaway prizes today. In the interim, I thought y’all might enjoy seeing a picture of the prizes. To the winners: You won’t know what you’ve won until the package shows up on your doorstep. Again, I encourage you to take a picture of your own when you get your prize and post it online — I’ll happily throw a link your way if you do. Anyway, congratulations again to the winners, and thank you to everyone else for your support! As NCN would say, you guys rock. Oh, and thanks to Henry of BinaryDollar for serving as my inspiration on the box of bricks idea.
Update: Sadly, I was only able to fit five bricks in the box. However, it still weighed in at 19 pounds, 11.4 ounces! Given that I used a prepaid box, I was able to ship them out for $8.95 — otherwise, it would have cost over seventeen bucks.

Comment by Allen — May 18th 2007 @ 9:06 pmThose books look really interesting. I hope I get one of those!
Comment by Dreamy1 — May 18th 2007 @ 10:37 pmVery slick, Nickel — not taking credit for the bricks idea and deftly deflecting any frowns toward Binary Dollar. You thinking of running for office?
Comment by mbhunter — May 21st 2007 @ 12:41 amOh please, if only I had thought of it all by my lonesome… I’d love to take sole credit for that.
Bricks are way better than the other prizes. It’s the only one that won’t go obsolete.
