Ever since the new year, people have come up on me for a couple of reasons.
- Point what great style I have
- Give me some money
- Ask about the Pimp My Widgets contest winners
Truthfully, it’s been much more of the last item. So, I took it upon myself to get this thing solved. After going through all the great entries and doing some hard judging, we found some that truly stood out, we selected one grand prize winner and three runners-up. The runners-up each get a Nokia N810 Internet Tablets and they are:
- Thomas Moenicke
- Kaj Grönholm
- Matt Broadstone
The winner of the i2 Segway is: Jukka-Pekka Mäkelä.
Since we were feeling generous, all the rest of the entrants get that limited edition “Pimp My Widgets” T-shirt. You will be a truly elite group.
Since I had so many people asking, I thought I would report it on the “Pimp O’Clock News.” You’ll find it below.
Of course, you can find all the other stuff on the contest website.
Ho, Ho, Ho! It’s December and the Widget Pimp is back with a gentle and subtle reminder. Did you realize that today there are only 27 shopping days left until Christmas Eve? More importantly that’s only 34 Pimping Days left until the end of Qt Software’s Pimp my Widget Contest. That’s right, you only have until December 31st to submit your entries. I ain’t giving extensions!
Now I know some of you didn’t make the “nice” part of someone’s “naughty or nice” list, but the prizes that come from winning the Pimp My Widget contest is, without overstating it, like winning ten World Cups in all sports combined! Let’s look at the prizes again:
- A Segway i2 Personal Transporter—No better way to cruise in 2009
- 3 Nokia N810 Tablets—Fresh from the trunk of my car
- 100 Custom-Made, Limited-Edition Deluxe “Pimp My Widgets” T-Shirts—To keep you warm during that cold old winter
Feel free to check the website for more details and all that legal mumbo-jumbo that I can’t bother to say here.
Just remember the deadline December 31st, so get pimping!
