This week I had my great summer giveaway (sorry… it’s over!) to celebrate me finding the perfect headphones.

And the Winners Are…

We had a record number of entries — almost 900! I used Random.org to generate the random winners. Thanks to everyone for playing. We will be emailing the gift cards to the winners in the next few days.

Note: Even if you didn’t win one of the big prizes, scroll down to see if I used one of your comments in my wrapup… you get a fun prize, too!

$5 Amazon Gift Cards

Gosh, I just realized something. My new book is just $4.99 on Kindle, so all these lucky people can buy Nerd365 in electronic format.

Nerd365! ($20 Amazon Gift Cards)

Oops! I was just going to give away three prizes at this level, but I forgot and chose five names. Congratulations! These lucky folks get $20 from Amazon to buy a hardcopy of my newest book, Nerd365: A Year of APP-ortunities to Upgrade Your Life. The book is usually $18.99, but Amazon has it on sale right now for $16.17 (they do that sometimes — the price fluxuates).
