What a great response this week! Hake’s has selected Derek’s article at Goodwill Hunting for Geeks as the $100 winner, and they were so impressed with the others that they have also awarded $50 “Honorable Mentions” to Pax at the Cavalcade of Awesome and Vincent at the Robot’s Pajamas. Congratulations to those guys and to everyone else as well for a great week!  I want to thank Hake’s for their support this week, and it was fun to see many of these blogs mentioned on the Hake’s Facebook page.

Be sure to visit all these great sites and leave a comment or two. Everybody loves feedback!

      Yeah, Hake’s did a great job of cross-promoting a number of us last week, which was really cool on their part.

        It’s what every company should do when they are taking part in a contest, but sadly a lot of times they don’t.

    That is really cool that they did that! I really enjoyed reading everyone’s lists and looking over Hake’s site. I had no idea all the cool stuff they have for auction. Very cool.

    Oh HOLY COW!!!

    My thanks to Hake’s! I had such a fun time browsing their stock and finding cool stuff to drool over!!! Oh I am so psyched! Thanks to Brian for setting this up as well! I am really glad I gave Hake’s a shot this time around, and that they chose me as the winner. I really had a blast checking out what everyone else put on their wishlists as well!

    I never dreamed I would win this! Thanks again!
