Thanks to all participants. Wishing you luck for the next round of giveaways.

Back in October 2009 Anne-Marie Kovacs of TheSucculentWife wrote a nice post about the Kymera Wand.

We chatted about having a giveaway contest some time in the future, and now with Fathers Day (June 20th) approaching, she took the chance to offer a Kymera Wand for her blog’s readers.

As an avid reader of the Kymera Wand site, you should know how many gestures the wand supports. So hurry up to the post and add your comment to win a wand.

The giveaway is open until June 11th 2010. Wishing you Good Luck.

As we just returned from a busy week on Crete,
I was only now able to draw the Facebook Raffle winner.

Congratulations to:

Christopher Tracy

We already contacted him for the details so he’ll soon be a proud Kymera Wand owner.

Everyone else, don’t be sad, there will be more possibilities throughout the year to win a magic wand. We’ll continue to post Kymera Wand news on Facebook just stay tuned. Thanks for your participation.

And you can always buy a wand for yourself.

Happy casting

Michael

Virtual #QCon conference Kymera Wand drawing

   Posted by: admin

Just tweet why you’d like to have one and add the #kymera tag, you can also include a link to this post: http://bit.ly/9f5WQg.

As I sadly can’t visit QCon London this year and add the Kymera Wand as drawing price there, I’d like to do a virtual drawing for a Kymera Wand until the end of March.

That is also a chance for all other people who were not able to attend QCon London this month to enter one of the popular exhibition drawings.

The Kymera Wand is a truly magical device. It allows you to control many of the apparatuses at home using invisible beams of light. It recognizes up to 13 gestures of control to cast spells of all kinds to differnt devices.

(read: It’s a universal gesture based infrared control in the form of a magic wand.)

Just tweet why you’d like to have one and add the #kymera tag, you can also include a link to this post: http://bit.ly/9f5WQg.

One special note: You will enter the drawing as often as your twitter follower count is on the log10 scale.

Examples:

  • 1..9 followers = does not qualify
  • 10..99 followers = enter once
  • 100..999 followers = enter twice
  • 1000…9999 followers = enter 3 times
  • etc.

Depending on the amount of tweets, I’ll add them to this post’s comments, with the tweet text and your follower count, then I’ll draw from this list.

The winner will be notified by mail or DM and posted here.

Good Luck

Michael

I am happy to announce the winner of the January competition. Fortunately Fortuna drew the one that made me start this competition at all. Paul posted the original list of incantations that make your Kymera Wand magic spells much more impressive. Thanks for the idea.

Everyone else – thanks for participating. I hope you had fun devising your incantations and will take part in future drawings.

Accio Kymera!

FREE!
