We've been winding up all old contests and getting a new back-end contest thingy ready to roll. Now after engineering meetings, three sessions of dead cat throwing, four deep dish pizzas and a sinkhole appearing in the middle of Cleveland, we're good. But first--a test!
A TEST!!!!
Enter this contest. It's open for 24 hours only. At the end of 24 hours, if everything works, we'll send out a random moderately cool prize from the Needcoffee prize closet. If everything doesn't work, I'll probably wind up committing sepukku on the roof. And considering we work in an underwater facility, that should tell you something.
Right. So enter the contest. It's a test contest. You may or may not win anything. But you'll be helping us either way.
Also, I'm testing out the new subscription/opt-in system. So if you opt-in to the newsletter, you'll see a confirmation e-mail asking you if you're sure. If you opt-in to the list for 3rd party folks, you'll see a confirmation e-mail on that as well. The beautiful thing is, if you opt-in to both now, you won't need to opt-in for future contests, because you'll be set!
Rules!
- You have to fill out the form--properly--for the entry to be valid. In fact, if you don't fill it out properly, the entry probably won't even be entered. So watch it.
- We're not going to give away or sell your address or e-mail address or anything without your permission. That's what this opt-in nonsense is about: to protect your privacy. Our privacy policy is here. (The policy will be updated once this new opt-in stuff is shown to be working, too)
- You can only enter once. For those of you who need it spelled out to you, that's one person per street address AND e-mail address. You whackjobs who send us fifteen entries a month for the Mystery Box with addresses like "123 Main Street," "123 Main Avenue" and "123 Main" are weak. So don't even try it. We'll throw out all the extraneous entries and mock you.
- Contest is open to people in the U.S. only. Sorry, other folks. Even on a test, getting prizes to you is expensive and we're poor.
- Contest ends at 7:00PM EST, on Saturday, June 17th.
