Sabado Gigante!
With SO much going on in this post, I just HAD to have a name to reflect it all!
Even though I still haven’t been able to beat Zuma Deluxe, or “Green Grass and High Tides” in Rock Band, this has been a pretty good week for myself both in terms of this blog and for other sites I have going on.
So for today I present you with Saturday Speedlinkin, the last word in the first contest, and the results of the super secret second contest I had a day or so ago!
Saturday Speedlinkin XII
18 Amazing Yet Simple Photo Effects to Make Yourself Look Different by Rajat - I’ve really been getting back into more design and image manipulation lately, so this is right up my alley.
Garry Conn Shifts Gears by Brown Baron - I knew about Garry’s other blog, Blog the Internet before this post, and it looks like he’s changed the look of it a lot since I was there last… I’m definitely interested in seeing how he does with it.
Six Defining Moments of a Problogger by Darren Rowse - I always love getting into the heads of the successful, and this post lets us all do just that. And I think it’s cool that the six things Darren has on there I DEF would not put on my personal list. Well, accept for maybe starting THIS blog. (#):)
And of course, you’ve all been stumbled!
Secret Contest Winners!
So as many of you know, I posted details on how to enter my secret contest a little while ago. The post went up very late in the day and was limited greatly by time but despite this, I still had some people find it and enter it. And the winners are…
ALL OF YOU!
So congrats ES, Mary, Apexad, and Teeni! I’ll be sending you kids an e-mail back for your address so I can send you your *drumroll* And before I forget, not only do I have to thank you for playing, but thanks for the thoughtful e-mails. Learning more about you guys makes this whole thing more fun for everyone!
SanDisk Sansa m240 1 GB MP3 Player w/ FM Tuner!
Contest 1 of 3 Wrap Up
And for the rest of you (and ES, Mary, Teeni and Apexad who are still eligible), remember that the first contest is wrapping up today, so make sure you get that last word from my feed and e-mail me the secret phrase before 1pm EST Sunday Feb 17th.
Good luck everybody! (P.S. I forgot to change the secret word when I originally posted this, so if you don’t see it, make sure you refresh the feed or something).

Wow - Bush! Holy crap! I can’t believe it! This is a great prize - thank you very much for having the contests that allowed me to win such a cool prize! I’m so excited! I feel like a kid at Christmas! :)

@Teeni - Ha ha! I’m glad you liked the prize! I wrote about a Sansa mp3 player way back when and a lot of ppl seemed interested, so I thought it’d make a cool little prize. (#):)

The prize looks good! Congratulations! P.S. Love the secret word idea to get feed readers! :)

Paaaarty!
Haha! I am “Mary”, one of the winners. Isn’t that a quick cool contest!
Thank you for the great win, will write back right away.

What an amazing prize! The only MP3 player I have now is my phone, and while it is great, I have found that playing mp3’s on it greatly reduces the battery life. Maybe this will help!
I am having a contest on my blog at the begining of March, so watch for it.

@Grace - Glad you like it!
@Mary - Thanks for playing and congrats new reader!
@Apexad - I’m really glad that this prize seems to be so well received. I’m not made of money, but I still think this is a cool prize. (#):)

I missed the comps sadly but what a nice prize. Bush, I must say I really like the new professional way you are pushing this site and I hope it is paying off well for you.

Looking forward to getting into the next contest! Is that Danny Pino? lol

@Forest - Hey thanks man, I’m glad I decided to do it too. Though I think the effect of the contests is a little less than what I would’ve liked. In hindsight, I think I should’ve put up the prizes that I was giving away on all those contest sites. “The more you know!…” (#);D
@Andre - shhhhh “It’s a secret to everyone” (#):)
