Can you see me now?

By Mir

January 24, 2011

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!

Lenetta on January 24, 2011 at 3:28 pm

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.
Fabs on January 24, 2011 at 3:30 pm

Oh, count me in! I’m always looking for ways to keep the little ones entertained (that doesn’t include me!). Thanks for the contest.

I would love this for my son to see his dad while he is traveling!
Julie on January 24, 2011 at 3:44 pm

susan brandenburg on January 24, 2011 at 3:47 pm

I want one of these to see my daughter!
Ronna on January 24, 2011 at 3:54 pm

I would love one of these and I can pretty much guarantee that my kids would love it too!
Jackie on January 24, 2011 at 3:55 pm

I would like this–I would probably give it to my 13-year-old nephew for his new webbook, but I might direct (or have a cameo in) some of his videos.
Tracy on January 24, 2011 at 3:56 pm

I could put this to use asap! 🙂
Kristen on January 24, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Laura on January 24, 2011 at 4:04 pm

I’m getting a new niece or nephew this summer and would love to chat face to face in order to meet baby! 2000 miles is too far!
Mary A on January 24, 2011 at 4:05 pm

I have a webcam but I would love to win one to give to my sister so we can video chat with her. Thanks for the giveaway.
Janie on January 24, 2011 at 4:09 pm

Thanks for the chance!
ste on January 24, 2011 at 4:11 pm

I do have a webcam on this computer but since I bought a cheaper computer, the webcam is a little slow.
Erin K on January 24, 2011 at 4:16 pm

We are the only ones in the family that don’t skype so we would love this to catch up!
connieh30 on January 24, 2011 at 4:17 pm

This would be pretty cool. Hope you son is much better too.
Jo on January 24, 2011 at 4:19 pm

This would be awesome!!
FireMom on January 24, 2011 at 4:19 pm

We upgraded our family desktop last year, but it doesn’t have a webcam. NEED! NEED! NEED! (Really, just want. But still, NEED!)
Golden on January 24, 2011 at 4:25 pm

Oh what fun. My son’s laptop doesn’t have a web cam. He’s have loads of fun.
Tina on January 24, 2011 at 4:26 pm

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!
Sarah S on January 24, 2011 at 4:27 pm

I’d love this, thanks!
Michelle on January 24, 2011 at 4:35 pm

With a grandchild in another town I wouldn’t miss anything!
Helen on January 24, 2011 at 4:45 pm

Look over here! Oops that’s right, I don’t have a webcam yet.
Rebekah on January 24, 2011 at 4:58 pm

Fabulous!
stacy on January 24, 2011 at 5:08 pm

A webcam would be loads of fun!!
Dawn on January 24, 2011 at 5:13 pm

Sounds great!
Missy on January 24, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Me! Me!
Bethtastic on January 24, 2011 at 5:15 pm

That would be skypetastic!
Emily on January 24, 2011 at 5:16 pm

OOOH that’s a good one!

Very cool!
pam on January 24, 2011 at 5:23 pm

I’d love to win this so I could chat with the grands.
Erin on January 24, 2011 at 5:31 pm

I would love to give this webcam to my fiancee, so we can see each other more often!
Jessica on January 24, 2011 at 5:32 pm

This would be a wonderful gift for the grandparents!
Aarika on January 24, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Eeee, to talk to my nephews in Australia? This would be ideal.
Amy on January 24, 2011 at 5:43 pm

I’d love to win!
Maryanne on January 24, 2011 at 5:44 pm

Neat.
Michele D on January 24, 2011 at 5:46 pm

I so want a webcam so I can chat with my mom with Skype. And so my mom can chat with her grandkids of course. Fingers are crossed
Jennifer on January 24, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Would love to use it to chat with the grandparents in Florida!
Katherine on January 24, 2011 at 6:01 pm

Sweet! A home laptop would be so great! Then the kids would stop messing with mine!
Karen R on January 24, 2011 at 6:31 pm

DD’s best friend (7 hours away) broke her webcam and can no longer video chat with DD. This would be awesome! Thanks for posting it.
Sabrina D. on January 24, 2011 at 6:33 pm

Ohhh…awesome with awesome sauce! My daughters bff moved from here in MA to VA so this would be perfect for them!
krista on January 24, 2011 at 6:37 pm

I have a house full of crazy military brat monkeys.
Mandy on January 24, 2011 at 6:39 pm

don’t have a webcam and would love one….
My Kids Mom on January 24, 2011 at 6:46 pm

I’d love to set my inlaws up with skype.
Damsel on January 24, 2011 at 6:51 pm

We need one of these… Looks like my hubby is getting deployed this summer. Thank heavens for Skype!
Beachgal on January 24, 2011 at 6:55 pm

*cheese* Count me in!
Southern Gal on January 24, 2011 at 6:59 pm

I would love to win this! Thanks for the chance.
tran on January 24, 2011 at 7:30 pm

The grandparent would love this. Thanks for offering.
Jessica on January 24, 2011 at 7:34 pm

*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. 😀
Holly on January 24, 2011 at 7:47 pm

Ohhh the fun we could have!
Melissa on January 24, 2011 at 8:11 pm

We could really use this to keep in touch with my brother and sister in law. Thanks!
christine on January 24, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Yep. Five kids. Could really use some entertainment! Thanks!
Dave on January 24, 2011 at 8:21 pm

Ooo. To finally use Skype on my faster computer would be awesome!

🙂
Mary Fran on January 24, 2011 at 8:24 pm

Oh, my kids would love this!
Christina on January 24, 2011 at 8:26 pm

I would love to give this to my parents.
Nicole on January 24, 2011 at 8:50 pm

Yay! we need an updated one!
Jenn on January 24, 2011 at 9:17 pm

Pick me! We’re getting skype so we can keep in touch with our friends moving to England.
Colleen on January 24, 2011 at 9:19 pm

Yay! The kids could Skype with Daddy at work!
jaime m on January 24, 2011 at 9:39 pm

would love it !!!
Bekah on January 24, 2011 at 10:41 pm

JessMiller on January 24, 2011 at 10:48 pm

I have been meaning to buy a new webcam for my dad so we can Skype! This would be great!

Would love it!
Sarah on January 24, 2011 at 11:02 pm

Oooh–this would be lovely for the distant grandparents!!

Sara on January 25, 2011 at 7:05 am

I know a grandma who would LOVE this! Thanks
VERONICA on January 25, 2011 at 7:07 am

I am a grandma who would love this!
Corey Bishop on January 25, 2011 at 7:36 am

Awesomest prize, ever. Right after the Zombies.
Nancy S on January 25, 2011 at 7:41 am

I would love to win this! It would allow my 10 year old daughter to monopolize my computer even more than she already does! Apparently it’s more fun to play on mom’s desktop than her own laptop!
Christine on January 25, 2011 at 7:48 am

I am hoping to study abroad this summer & this webcam would be fantastic for chatting with my family!
Kristine on January 25, 2011 at 7:58 am

yes please Mir! thanks
Kris on January 25, 2011 at 8:07 am

Must … Skype ….
Lexi on January 25, 2011 at 8:09 am

This is a gooooood one. Love!
Christina on January 25, 2011 at 8:30 am

I’d love to finally be able to Skype on this old computer! Thanks!
Selena on January 25, 2011 at 8:31 am

I didn’t know web cams could do special effects! Fancy.
Lori B. on January 25, 2011 at 8:44 am

Sounds awesome! Thanks Mir!
Theresa on January 25, 2011 at 9:03 am

I would love this! Thanks!!!
Suz on January 25, 2011 at 9:04 am

This would be great! Thanks Mir!
stephanie on January 25, 2011 at 9:22 am

Maybe my kids would talk to their grandparents more if they could see them on Skype? I’m willing to try it even though it means I’ll have to tidy up the portion of my house in the webcam’s view!
tiffany on January 25, 2011 at 9:23 am

Would love to win this!!
kelly miciletto on January 25, 2011 at 9:34 am

yeah!!! I’d love to win this!
Amy on January 25, 2011 at 9:52 am

FUN!!!!
firelady on January 25, 2011 at 9:57 am

If you have loved ones far away, a web cam is the only way to stay connected.
Scott F on January 25, 2011 at 10:17 am

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.
Christina on January 25, 2011 at 10:19 am

pick me plz!!
LISA P. on January 25, 2011 at 11:19 am

I’d love to win! I’d love to skype with family.
lisabug on January 25, 2011 at 11:43 am

With one grandbaby in Atlanta, GA and another one due in June…this would make all the miles seem not so distant!
Alicia on January 25, 2011 at 12:02 pm

I need this for my soon to be deployed husband’s computer so we can see him! me, me, me!
Lindsey on January 25, 2011 at 3:09 pm

Our web cam is pathetic so an upgrade would be awesome!!!
Suzanne H on January 25, 2011 at 4:17 pm

My kids’ Nana has been bugging us about a webcam…aren’t we supposed to be the hip, techno savvy ones?
Amber on January 25, 2011 at 5:14 pm

OK Hate this… Count me in. Last one on the bandwagon still rides! I am sooo not techno savvy, ask my kids.
Jaylene on January 25, 2011 at 6:31 pm

Very Cool!
Torrance on January 25, 2011 at 6:50 pm

I would love to have this to monitor our house when I’m at work or we’re out on a mommy/daddy date and want to check on the kids.
Elly on January 25, 2011 at 10:44 pm

My son’s father’s webcam just broke and he’s 1500 miles away from us. This would be AMAZING. I’d win a ton of Good Mom points if I won this and gave it to him.

Thank you!
Tink on January 26, 2011 at 5:26 am

I’d love to have one. 😉
Marly on January 26, 2011 at 10:58 am

Shannon on January 26, 2011 at 6:14 pm

Cool! Thanks pretty!
JoAnne on January 26, 2011 at 6:16 pm

This would be great so I can give our old one to my in-laws to Skype!
Kismet on January 26, 2011 at 6:21 pm

Yes,please.
Elizabeth on January 26, 2011 at 6:24 pm

thanks for the give-away!
Angela on January 26, 2011 at 6:26 pm

I would love to win! My dh is deploying soon, so this would come in handy! 🙂
Jennifer H on January 26, 2011 at 6:27 pm

The in-laws in Taiwan would LOVE it if we had a webcam so they could see their grandchildren. I would love to win.
Erin on January 26, 2011 at 6:29 pm

another great contest! Thanks Mir!
Laurel on January 26, 2011 at 6:31 pm

I’m sure my kids would love to hook this up and then show Momma how to use it.
Kaedra on January 26, 2011 at 6:49 pm

My family would get a lot of use from this product. My kids love all things digital.
kris on January 26, 2011 at 7:30 pm

I would love to give this to my mother in law so she can skype with her first grandbaby!
keri on January 26, 2011 at 10:06 pm

I’d love this! My sisters are so far away…
Shannon P on January 26, 2011 at 10:44 pm

This would be awesome! My sister, parents, and husbands mom and sisters all live in different states! They would love to be able to see my 4 kids!!
Tory on January 26, 2011 at 11:02 pm

Cool! We don’t have a webcam, despite my MIL’s insistence that we should skype…
Julie Zepeda on January 26, 2011 at 11:09 pm

My mom needs this. To see her grandkids. All. The. Time.
It’s kind of like a babysitter, right?
Valerie on January 26, 2011 at 11:25 pm

Hoping I’m lucky enough to win this!
Eostek on January 26, 2011 at 11:26 pm

I really need this for my decrepit and disabled Mother.
Sarah M. on January 27, 2011 at 6:23 am

This would be perfect for our family! We are moving away from friends & family this spring and I’m so sad that my boys are going to miss being with their grandparents & cousins! Thanks Mir!

Can you see me now?
