Okay…so the party is over and we have a winner for our $100 Amazon gift certificate that we are giving away for our 1-year anniversary celebration. To pick the winner you would think that we would do something technology/computer related like write a quick program to generate a random number between 1 and 73 (the number of comments). Heck, we could have even used one of the several online random number generators but that just isn’t random enough for us.
So we developed our own concoction to ensure that it was as random as possible. Yep, we printed off numbers 1 to 73, cut them out, and drew the number out of a hat. 
The number that we drew out…32 which was a comment by “Old Man Death.” Congratulations and you should be receiving a quick email as a confirmation before we email you the $100 gift certificate!
Just for fun we pulled out second and third place to taunt you. Unfortunately those people won’t receive anything (except our thanks, as always) but they were comments 14 (Matt) and 64 (nogg3r5). Shucks…you guys were so close. 
Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest and we really enjoyed hearing about your favorite articles. Hopefully you’ll continue to read us as we venture into our second year.
Congrats to Old Man Death for winning, and thanks to the hat for choosing me the first loser.
Congrats Old Man Death!
The taunting bit actually made it easier to get all philosophical and say “Oh well…I wouldn’t have won anyway!”
Bah, third place. I demand a redraw!
It’s not about whether you win or lose…well…yeah, actually it is.
That’s all it was ever about! And increasing your readership and the likely-nes of people to comment, of course.
Congats Old Man Death!!
Thanks everyone for the congrats. I was really shocked as I usually do not win crap.
Congratulations once again Ryan and Ashley on the 1 year anniversary! I look forward to reading daily and seeing what happens in the next year.
Just so Ryan and Ashley know, as well as everyone else. [logitech.com]
Merry Christmas to me! I would have rather gone for their new Harmony 1000, but this is too much for me currently and the 880 was a real good deal at Amazon.
That is awesome…and looks really amazing. I haven’t looked into those remotes much but it looks way beyond cool. $250 seems pretty expensive so let us know if it was worth it.
I had looked around for a while, and while they have the Harmony 890, which basically only adds RF capability and is much more expensive, I opted for the 880 as it should offer all that I need.
Actually Amazon has a great deal on this currently at $153.88.
I will definitely let you know how it works out.
