“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 4
Thank you we have a winner. This contest is now closed. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader Chuck!
On the Fourth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Solio® Hybrid 1000â„¢ charger!

Above: Sunlamp not included.
Tired of your old coal or diesel powered iPhone charger? Well, now you can go green with the Solio® Hybrid 1000â„¢ charger! Compatible with your iPod or iPhone, as well as a slew of other gadgets such as GPS units and mobile phones, the Hybrid 1000’s built-in solar-powered battery will keep your iPod charged long after civilization collapses due to a Zombie uprising or similar catastrophe. And don’t worry, if Skynet should become self-aware and the sun ends up getting blocked, you can always charge the Solio from a standard AC outlet to give you on-the-go power!
To enter: While the Solio will work anywhere, obviously our more temperate readers will benefit the most. So out of curiosity, let us know the current weather where you live. Temperature does not affect odds of winning, we’re just wondering how many of our readers we should be jealous of (Right now at Macenstein Labs it is a dreary 35Ëš and cloudy). Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. 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!
