What makes this one so awesome? Well, aside from giving you a chance to win cool stuff, THIS one might actually save your relationship!
Admit it, you totally forgot that Valentine’s Day is less than 1 week away. I know I did. Well, here’s your chance to make up for being such a callous oaf and actually give that special someone in your life something they’ll truly appreciate… portable storage! Yes, nothing says “I Love You” like a USB flash drive, and we’ve got a set of 4 GB tokidoki™ Adios and Ciao Ciao Mimobots up for grabs (that’s 8 GB of love total!), one for you, and one for that special lady in your life. Or, if you’d like to keep being a callous oaf, TWO for you! (What did she ever give you anyway?)
To Enter: We’re taking a slight detour from our usual “Just leave a comment” thing here today… we’re actually going to make you work for these. So here’s the deal. We want you to write a love poem about your favorite Apple product. Entries must be a minimum of 15 words long, and the winner will be picked from our esteemed panel of judges on February 13th. Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck! (oh, and these won’t arrive before Valentine’s Day, so you might want to picks something else up, just in case).
Well, that was fun!
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but we’ve finally cleaned out the prize closet in our “12 Days After Christmas” giveaway – a full 43 days after Christmas. (If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to enter a couple of the contests).
Congrats to the winners, our heartfelt thanks to the sponsors who so generously donated their wares, and our condolences to all of you who lost, day in and day out, time and again. It must really suck to be you.
But hey, if you didn’t win, don’t despair, I’m sure we’ll have another contest sooner than you can say “Valentine’s Day”.
“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 43 - A set of Audioengine 5N Bamboo speakers!
On the Forty-Third Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A set of A5N Powered Bookshelf Speakers (in BAMBOO!) !
AAARRGGHHH! If only I could enter my own contest! Damnit. Well, one of you lucky bastards is about to be taken on an audio trip to AWESOMETOWN!
I actually have a pair of the white Audio Engine A5’s, and I use them daily in my demolition job to knock down houses. These things are scary loud, and amazingly distortion free, even at ear-bleeding levels. And you’re actually getting the cooler, more expensive version of the A5’s, the Eco-friendly, $450 Bamboo model. God, I hate you.
Audioengine 5N (A5N) - All of the simple but useful features and same signature sound of the award-winning A5 wrapped in rock solid and beautifully hand-finished bamboo.
Bamboo is an excellent alternative to hardwoods and the dark bamboo used for the Audioengine A5N cabinets is not a stain, but achieved through a specialized heating process. As the wood is pressure heated, the sugar compounds inside the bamboo are “carbonized” which in turn darkens the bamboo to a rich caramel color. Awesome sound, great looks, eco-friendly, and panda-safe.
Above: That AC outlet is PERFECT for hooking up an AirPort express and blasting tunes from your home computer (via the remote app on your iPhone/iPod touch, of course!)A5N Eco-friendly features:
Made from renewable and sustainable solid bamboo - no veneers
No stains or paint used - naturally “carbonized” finish sealed with hand-rubbed water-based satin polyurethane
Other green facts and features:Audioengine products are now 100% lead-free and meet the EU’s RoHS initiative
All speaker cabinet materials use environmentally-friendly binders and resins
Formaldehyde-free adhesives are used in our cabinet assembly
All Audioengine products meet ENERGY STAR requirements in standby
Limited use of plastics in our products
Easy-to-recycle packaging
To enter: Since obviously you will annoy your neighbors (and THEIR neighbors) with the A5’s, we’re wondering, What’s the ONE THING you find most annoying/rude about other people? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to US readers only. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
