Time flies when you’re having fun, and I find this a bit hard to believe but on the 28th of February Geek-Speak will be two years old. To celebrate I’ll be running a competition for some cool goodies, and I’m massively indebted to the people who’ve donated some of those!
Let me tell you about them:
SciFi Channel (UK) – SciFi Channel is a great place to catch up on science fiction and fantasy, including some shows exclusively on SciFi in the UK like the brilliant Warehouse 13 and a new take on The Wizard of Oz with Tin Man. They’re part of the same network as SyFy in the US, who were behind the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica and new Caprica series’.
SciFi.co.uk compliments the great television available, running competitions, games, a lively forum and a series of blogs. I’ll just point out the blogs again, because I’m a new contributor on there :)
A big thanks to Pete Holley, UK Community Manger for the SciFi Channel for donating five SciFi goody bags to the competition. Each bag contains:
- Hardback notepad (that I’m reluctant to give away because I love a good notepad!)
- Fridge magnets
- Inspiration cards
- 8-Ball keyring
Motorsport in Print – Luke Pollard is a petrolhead with a real talent for art. He recently quit his day job to become a full-time artist covering all manner of motorsport. Have a look around his site, because the images he’s producing are absolutely amazing. If you’re after some general sporting art (i.e. not motorsport) he does that too, and you can check his twitter feed for that here.
Luke has a unique style that I think will become instantly recognisable as more people get hold of his work. He has very generously donated a 40x30cm mounted print of Formula 1 champion Jensen Button in his 2009 Brawn GP car (check it out here). It comes individually numbered and signed by Luke.
If you think the print looks good on the site let me tell you it looks even better in the flesh! If you’re a motorsport fan you definitely need to explore Motorsport in Print and you’ll be sure to find something that tickles your fancy.
Kim and Jason – Kim and Jason Kotecki are on a mission to stamp out the terrible disease Adultitis. Symptoms include chronic dullness, mild depression, moderate to extremely high stress levels, a general fear of change, and, in some extreme cases, the inability to smile.
Kim and Jason’s philosophy is simple: enjoy life! Fill it with a delight of the little things, curiosity, passion and playfulness! In other words embrace your childlike side.
I first came across Kim and Jason when they donated a prize to Darren “Problogger” Rowse’s blog birthday celebrations and they’ve generously added a Cube Clock to the prize fund for Geek-Speak. The clock’s sold out on their site but you can see it on Amazon.com in the meantime.
I’ll be adding to the prize fund too, but this is just to say a massive thanks to the guys above! We love ya’!
Competition details will go live within the next few days, so watch this space.
