I hate to even bring this up in the midst of all this iPhone 3.0 madness because it might be missed, but we have a major announcement to make…and I can’t keep quiet any longer!

Remember the post I did about how one of you could win a regulation basketball signed by the active player of your choice or one of two trips to the 2010 NBA ALL-Star Game in Dallas courtesy of Microsoft and HP? As you will recall, there were approximately two dozen other sites involved in this promotion, and I had mentioned that the odds for winning were pretty darn good.

Understatement much?

It turns out that two of the big winners were from Gear Diary! :mrgreen:

Read on to see what our readers scored!!!!!

Winner of the $50 gift certificate: auntiethesis

Winner of a second $50 gift certificate (HP surprised me with a second one): The Yaz

Winner of a regulation basketball signed by the active player of your choice: VikingGeek

Winner of one of two trips to the 2010 NBA ALL-Star Game in Dallas (with me!): drockhughes

I’ve got the codes for the gift certificates, and can give them to the winners now; as for the grand prize winners, I have already turned in your names and emails, and you will be contacted next week!

Congratulations to all of our winners! :-D

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

    And, I just realized that the girl on the left in the picture you used is Courtney from last season of So You Think You Can Dance! I loved her on the show.
