Christmas Contest

Santa dropped something off at the hose for my listeners and I wanted to get that out to you as soon as possible. So here is what you have to do:

Get your entry in by the end of the day on December 26th (11:59pm Pacific time US) to be eligible for the drawing.

All you need to do is send me an email with the top 3 (or 1 or 2) tech items that you received for Christmas, or any other holiday if you do not celebrate Christmas. Just put Christmas Contest in the subject line of the email and you tech items.

I will select the winner and let you know on the air (podcast) on the 27th of December. So let's hear from you.

Happy Holidays!

Show #027 - Super Short Show
Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Today's show is a really quick one to tell you about my Black Friday experience at Best Buy and Target with my friend Matt. We showed up to the Elk Grove Best Buy at 2am to get a decent place in line. We were about 300th in line at 2am. This was a cold night here in the Sacramento Valley. It was 34 degrees F. While that might not be cold for a lot of you in the Mid-West or East Coast, it is cold here in the valley.

Next show will be another Geek's Christmas List. Mike and I will provide Santa with our lists as we have been good little geeks this year. So go ahead and give us your Christmas list. Send it into norbtek.info@gmail.com.
