And the winner is.... (Week 1)

January 23, 2009 | Category: Free, Contest, Giveaway

I want to thank all y'all readers, lurkers, commenter. It ain't easy coming back from the dead.

OK, enough chit-chat. Down to the nitty gritty... There were 20 unique comments from last Friday until midnight last night. I created a special template file to output the list (Oy, cuz I have to do everything the hard way?), and then blindly used Mrs. Glosser's utterly random number generator to pick this week's winner.

Drumroll, and...

Congratulations, NIC!!

See the wonderous list after the jump:
