Thank You for Your Patience…

Posted on 22 March 2007 by


Mitchell has just delivered the twenty-two names of the twenty-two winners for the biggest Gear Diary give-away yet. Yeah, yeah, I know it took a little over a week to get all of the names sorted properly, but I bet none of the winners will mind. ;-)

I’ll be emailing the winners throughout the day, so in the meantime – make sure you have judie (at) geardiary . com  added to your non-spam list. If I don’t hear back within 48 hours, the prize will go to the next person in line…

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    Yay! I can bet you everyone will be checking their spam mail thoroughly today ;)

    Good grief – I’m a nervous wreck! I’m so concerned about this 48hr stipulation that I’m watching my inbox like it’s my oxygen levels. Please post the list of winners online and make life less stressful.

  • CleanGene17

    Thanks again, for the contest! It was fun.

  • melvynadam

    Did you win something cleangenie17?

    All winning email notifications were sent out yesterday; I have not listed the winners because they are being confirmed first. We have had several emails bounce from bad addresses, and the next in line have been contacted. I’ve even been able to ship out some of the prizes already.

    melvynadam, I can tell you that you weren’t in the first or second round of winners, but until all have responded I won’t be able to rule you out completely. Sorry to be so vague, but I don’t want to list winner’s names until they have been confirmed.

  • jaxim

    Can you tell us how you went about selecting the winners? Was it random, based on the best answer, etc?

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Hughes

    I’ll let Mitchell answer that, as he was the one who chose the final winners. :-) I removed myself from the process completely, so that I wouldn’t be tempted to pick names I recognized. :-P

    Well, to whoever got that awesome blue star bag–I’m jealous of you ;) Since winners seem to have been for the most part notified :)

    (that said, I’m not displeased with my lot xD)

  • W.I.P.

    ….oh, drat!

    Oh well… can’t win ‘em all…. Congratulations to all of the winners!!!! :)

  • melvynadam

    Oh well. Another time.

    I know you haven’t announced winners yet, so I won’t mention what I got, but my prize got here safe and sound today! (and is in use as we speak ^^ )

  • jaxim

    Congrats! I still would like to know how the winners were selected though.

  • CleanGene17

    Yes, melvynadam, I did win something. I have been in a lot of other contests and I never seem to win quite what I would like to receive so the real excitment for me is before the winners are announced because it always seems like I have the best chance of winning the big prize then. ;)
