Reader Response: Festivus Week Concludes

It’s over! Seven days of tenacious commenting; seven days of you readers scrambling for a chance to win a Nikon D40 camera kit. We’ve already given away a bunch of SanDisk Cruzer flash drives as part of our Reader Response Festivus Week, but I imagine today is the day you’ve all been waiting for.

So who gets the D40?

Interesting turn of events, you see. While everyone commented significantly, one man stood out as the clear victor this week.

There was, however, a problem: he had been awarded something earlier in the week. What were we to do?


After much deliberation, we decided to approach him and see if he’d be willing to give up his flash drive so that he could win the D40. Not surprisingly, he hopped on the opportunity.

I’m speaking, of course, of Jon, who I am pleased to announce is the grand prize winner of our Festivus Week Reader Response. That raises another issue though. Who should the initial flash drive go to?

It was a tough call, but in the end we decided that Jon Lee, Jon’s doppleganger should receive the SanDisk Cruzer Micro.

Congratulations to all. I’ll email you for shipping addresses later today. Next week we have two sets of Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 studio headphones to give away in addition to four ifrogz gift cards. More information on that soon.

Big, big thanks to Nikon and SanDisk for contributing the prizes for this week’s Reader Response. And, above all, Happy Festivus!
