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!
Michael
Happy New Year to all of you.
We’ll start a new giveaway promotion in January, this time on twitter.
Please either retweet my initial tweet or do a tweet of your own.
The condition this time is to include the tag #kymera and a reference to this site http://kymera-wand.com that is not shortened. To be eligible you also MUST include a sensible incantation that can be used to perform magic with the Kymera Wand. For instance "Quietus" for muting.
Forum User Grymmditch did a great job listing some unique incantations in this post that we thankfully published in this blog entry.
Wishing you all much luck in this drawing. It ends January 31st.
Please Retweet.
Happy Casting
