Free Day 2012 is Under Way!
It's Free Day 2012! Tips on how to stay connected to SparkFun in a variety of ways during the mayhem.
Free Day 2012 is upon us! The event has begun and now is the time to try for your $100 share of $200,000!
Aside from participating in the game itself here are some other ways to stay connected:
-
Hop on the official SparkFun IRC channel. In the past this channel has ballooned to over a thousand users!
-
Check out the live stream of the SparkFun IT Den. This is also where you can see the Geiger counter itself that's randomly selecting winners.
-
Follow SparkFun on Twitter.
- Hang out here, on the SparkFun home page, and post comments as the day wears on.
Good luck, everyone!
Update from Brennen: As Mentioned on IRC, since we didn't get around to coming up with anything for users of text-only browsers like Lynx, w3m, elinks, et al., IT will be running a side contest with a handful of prizes. If you snailmail us a screenshot, photograph, printout, or related proof of today's SparkFun home page loaded on your terminal of choice, postmarked before the 20th, we'll choose one on the basis of creativity and draw a couple more at random. Prizes to be determined. Please include your customer ID or the e-mail address of your SparkFun user account. Snailmail to:
Dept. of Hack
SparkFun Electronics
6175 Longbow Drive
Suite 200
Boulder, CO 80301
Update the second: It's a bit more radioactive out than we expected this afternoon. At current rates it looks like we may finish up well before 16:00.
Update the third: That's that. Thanks for participating, all. We'll post a follow-up before long.
