Can you see me now?

by Mir at 3:20 pm on January 24, 2011 in Contests

Another contest! Because it’s Monday and because you’re so pretty.

So here’s the deal: I have a HP HD-3100 TrueVision Webcam up for grabs. If your computer doesn’t have a webcam, you’re missing out! You can use it for video chatting, or—if you have kids, like me—you can use it to allow your children to entertain themselves for hours on end. Because nothing is more fun than a webcam, apparently. (No, I don’t really understand it, either.) This webcam even comes with the software that does all of the special effects the kids find so hilarious.

Want to win it for your very own? Of course you do! For a chance to win, simply go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, January 27th, 2011 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and winning smile.

Ready? Go!

    Thank you for the chance! I’ve been complimented on my orthidontic work by every dentist I’ve been to – not sure if that translates to a winning smile but apparently parallel root structure is a thing to behold.

    My mother in law is leaving for Scotland tomorrow for 2 years of studying overseas. We’re having Grandbaby #4 in March and she is INSITANT that we skype, especially when the baby is here so she can see him! Our webcam is really cheap and not good, so this would be a HUGE blessing to win!

    *smiles winningly* I’d love to have this for my husband. I’m trying to get him to talk more to his dad, but neither of them are phone people. They are doing a “book club” with just the two of them, but they are unsuccessfully trying to “discuss it” either via phone (as I mentioned above, not a good idea when neither wants to talk on the phone) or email (still not a good idea when neither of them has time to sit there and type out a bunch of his ideas). Neither are working, and this was my next idea. :D

    OH!!! We need one SOO badly! The other day, I tried to Skype with our friends who live in Papua New Guinea. While we could see and hear them, we could only type out chat to them. Not near as fun for the kids as if they could see and talk with each other.
