John Chow sometimes gives away cool schwag on his website. Sometimes gimicky things like a combination pen and USB flash drive, and sometimes very big and expensive items. I think contests like this are a very cool idea, so I’m going to try some of my own!
My crazy thinking here, is that by giving away something awesome, I will:
I’m planning to give away something cool at least once a month, maybe more often, and I’m going to start with a bang.
I’m going to give away something big.
Big as in a huge twenty-two inches of hip, high definition hotness!
I’ve had a Dell E228WFPs on my desk for awhile now, and it works great.
Everyone knows two heads are better than one though, so I added a second, for a total desktop resolution of 3360×1080 pixels!
(Windows XP in a fullscreen VirtualBox instance on the left, Ubuntu on the right.)
I have one more sitting unused, and more on the way from my Dell contact, so I’m giving one away!
Quick specs:
Want one? Here’s how to enter!
Entries will be accepted until June 30th at 12 noon EST.
Fine print: Winner will be chosen by random.org random number generator. I reserve the right to charge actual shipping and / or insurance. As long as it’s not too pricey I will pick up the bill for shipping. International entries are welcome, but may be subject to shipping charge. The customs declaration will show the item marked as a gift, and the street value of $225. You will be responsible for any fees, taxes, etc in your locality. 2nd place winner will receive ONE INTERNET.
I’d like to enter, Mr. Q Riis. =)
I certainly would like it, but I’m even more interested in this “Internet” you offer.

Cool beans, even though no one is following you yet.
Got you down for three entries!
Nobody needs one of these more than a 54 year old man going blind from working on his dissertation on an equally old Vivitron 17 and tatally broke from paying tuition. Great luck with your site give-away! You should reach your goals. You have certainly paid your dues.
Well, won’t know until you try. Please be kind enough to notify me of any fees before you send, I’ll see if I’ll buy it then.
1 Entry this is
I’ve shipped a box this size to Canada before, was only $20. Overseas to the civilized world I’m guessing would be about $40 or so.
Where are you located?
I want to participate.
In for one.
This should count for two entries cause I live so far away.
(And by the same dubious logic, I should also be eligible for half-price shipping!)

You know you wanna pick me
(dont really my dad would kill me)
A “Please Enter Me” Haiku:
A new monitor
So I can play Tremulous

If there was a prize for most creative entry, you’d win it for sure.

Sorry, you only get one entry for posting a comment.
Enter Me.
This has a wildly different connotation upon first glance.
Haha, so true!
I could definitely use something like that in the studio. And you wouldn’t have to pay shipping charges. Put me down for 100 entries!
It was good to see you and Natalie last night. Sorry I couldn’t hang long but we’ll get out to Gene’s soon.
