Tis the Season!

Congratulations to Doug Metz, winner of our 12th Day of Geekmas giveaway. Doug took home a $200 Sears gift card, a Star Wars iPhone case, a set of Musician’s Dice and the HP MediaSmart Server EX490. Moreover, he will forever be known as the grand champion of 12DoG ‘09!

Let us pause momentarily to bask in Doug’s glory, but let us not forget that the 12 Days of Geekmas project, in all its unmitigated geekitude, would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. As such, please join me thanking the following:

Adafruit Industries
Discovery Channel
Doctor Octoroc
Dual Core
Entertainment Earth
Hewlett-Packard
John Kovalic
Lev Grossman
Muzoricle
Sears
Starwars.com
Uncle Monsterface

Without these fine individuals/corporate entities, Geekmas would simply not be possible. Okay, maybe it would still be possible, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be as much fun!

Of course, the same can be said for you, our wonderful readers. If 2008 was a banner year for GeekDad, then 2009 was off the friggin’ charts. And while we’d like to think that our collective hard work had a lot to do with it, the truth is that your kind attention is the true engine of our progress.

You make GeekDad work, and our only regret is that we can’t favor each and every one of you with extravagant swag. So, though cold comfort it may be, allow me to wish you all the safest, happiest and most pleasant of holidays.

And Grodd bless us, every one.

Tis the Season!

Congratulations to Adrian Smith, winner of our 11th Day of Geekmas giveaway! Adrian got a set of Musician’s Dice, a Star Wars iPhone case and a $50 Sears gift card. I will simply assume that those helped to make Adrian’s holiday season a little brighter. If that’s not the case, just don’t tell me. It would totally spoil my holiday high.

On our final day of Geekmas, we have pulled out all the stops. Once again we’ve got a Star Wars iPhone case and a set of Musician’s Dice on the line, but today it’s joined by a $200 Sears gift card! But wait; there’s more. Today’s winner will also take home an HP MediaSmart Server EX490.

Yes, you read that right. All these phenomenal prizes can be yours with a simple email. Because we are the GeekDads, and that is how we roll.

To get the skinny on these grand Geekmas treats, give today’s GeekDad HipTrax Stocking Stuffer a listen. There you’ll discover the secret code word needed to enter today’s contest drawing. Use it as your message title when you email your submission to geekdad.hiptrax@gmail.com by 11:59 PM EST, and you’ll be in the running for all the aforementioned swag! You’ll also get to hear Jonathan Coulton’s “Chiron Beta Prime;” so, in that regard, everyone is a winner.
