The Old Technology Giveaway: Contest Results!

Finally, after care­fully review­ing every entry (read: drool­ing for hours over old junk I wish I had), I have selected the two win­ners of this oh-so-close-to-tongue-in-cheek con­test, and they likely come as no sur­prise to those who have been keep­ing up with their respec­tive entries:

• 1st Place: Grant Hutchin­son — Grant’s sub­mis­sions were all ter­rific, and a lit­tle scary at times, but what won me over was his BeBox, a machine I’ve still yet to see in per­son, but wish I owned so I could play with it night and day (ok, get­ting a lit­tle freaky now…)
• 2nd Place: Emilio Vanni — While there were a lot of great sub­mis­sions, I only have two prizes to award, and I just kept com­ing back to the Apple Base­ball Cap hid­den at the bot­tom of Emilio’s list. “But wait!” I hear you scream, “that’s a hat, not a piece of old tech­nol­ogy!” My answer is sim­ple: Tough noo­gies! Keep in mind, this is my con­test after all…

I will be con­tact­ing the win­ners to arrange deliv­ery of their prizes (remem­ber: Grant gets first pick…), and hope­fully they will be nice enough to send in self-portraits with prizes in hand.

Thanks to every­one who entered, com­mented, linked, or oth­er­wise con­tributed to the OTG. More wacky con­tests will come as I think them up…
