Pegs are so last year; Meon is here

by Mir at 10:03 am on November 15, 2011 in Contests

Due to circumstances beyond my control (that’s polite-speak for “we had a minor family crisis”), I wasn’t able to get back here to post this week’s contest, yesterday. So please accept my apologies and I hope you still love me.

Meet Meon, the animation studio that never ends with you stepping on sharp little pegs that got lost in the carpet. Ahem. Plug in the wires, wind them around as directed by the templates, and soon you’ll have a glowing work of art. Not only that, there’s actually 10 different modes, with games to play and even a way to rig it up as a room alarm (what kid wouldn’t love that?)!

I have a Cars-themed Meon set to give away, just because you’re pretty.

Want to play? First 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 Friday, November 18th, 2011 for an entry. Winner to be determined by random number plug-in picker thingie and also how brightly they glow in the dark. But probably just that random number thing.

Ready? Go!

    Pretty!!! My girls would love a chance to fight over…er, um, I mean, to win a Meon. :) And not just because I like saying “Meon.”

    (Hope the crisis was dealt with and you didn’t have to bail Otto out of jail. Although I’m in if there’s a plot to bust him out…)
