    I am a lucky guy today

    Not only did I just get 2 free tickets to the YellowCard concert (which will be great, even if it is an outdoor concert in 97 degree heat), I just got this e-mail from the Sales & Marketing Coordinator of TechNet and MSDN Magazine,


    Xbox 360 angle view Amazon Gift Certificates

    "CONGRATULATIONS!! You have won the TechNet Magazine and Winternals sweepstakes! As a reminder, your prize includes an Xbox 360 and a $400 Amazon Gift Certificate brought to you by Winternals."



    When I was at TechEd, I entered every single contest to win an Xbox360.  Apparently I struck gold with one of them!

    Before anyone thinks that this is just a spam fishing expedition, I've already been in contact with this person several times.

    I agree - it WOULD make great swag.  IF I were willing to give it away.

    Kim is resisting my desires to keep the Xbox.  We only have 2 TVs and one is in our bedroom.  She doesn't want to bring an Xbox into our bedroom.  She'd rather I sell it.  I told her that I might prefer to give it away and she practically beat me up while calling me crazy.  Well, all decisions on what to do with the thing will have to wait until I actually have it.

    I told you that you could give it to someone in our family....at least half of them are worth it   ;-)
