Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry is sponsoring a contest where one lucky winner will get unprecedented (unlimited?) access to the entire museum. The only catch? You have to agree to spend 30 days inside the museum, without leaving. We’re looking for someone to take on a once-in-a-lifetime assignment: spend a Month at the Museum, to live and breathe science…
Sharon, the Nintendo DS that you won is headed your way! I finally stopped off at UPS yesterday, and got this guy in the mail (and sent you the tracking number via email). Sorry again for the delay. Jay, as I mentioned in my email to you… sending the book via mail (to Australia) was ridiculously expensive. Via UPS it…

I’ve got a little favor to ask. Do you use Facebook or Twitter? Would you mind helping me to promote this little Nintendo DS contest of mine? I’m trying to drum up some more visibility for this giveaway, and I’ve more or less done what I can. If you’re reading this and could help me spread the word, it would…
So here’s the deal. I’ve been busy the past few weeks packing up the apartment for our upcoming move. In finding stuff I no longer need or want, I’ve been toying around wtih the idea of giving it away via the blog (as opposed to selling it on Craigslist). I came across my old Nintendo DS Lite, and realized it’s…
Rather than pick my favorite submission, I decided to make the selection process random. So out of the nine entrants, we have actually 10 entries (Anthony got two). Here’s a little video of the selection process: I don’t want to spoil the suspense by pasting in the winner’s name here, so I’ve tucked it in the comments. I like the…
Since we’re moving and starting to pack up the office, I’m going to try giving away a few things via this blog. First up: I have an old Sigmund Freud Action Figure that I bought ages and ages ago.
