I have very good news for one of you, and then even better news for the rest of you. Truly.

First, I have a winner for last week’s contest. In the offing was a $50 certificate to NOVICA, and the random number generator has decreed the winner to be commenter 52, Jessica P. Congratulations, Jessica—please check your email! You’ll be buying yourself something purty with someone else’s money, which is the best kind of bargain there is, right?

As always, thanks to all who played, and big, big thanks to our pals at NOVICA for their generosity (for the second year in a row, even).

Now, the even better news: As a special countdown to Black Friday, there will be one prize up for grabs every day this week, culminating in a Really Big Prize on Friday. (And that’s aside from the Windows Phone 7 contest which is still running!) A whole week of prizes! And a super secret awesome prize on Friday! You’re not going to want to miss it, trust me.
