So it is that time of year again when everyone gathers around a large table, eats copious amounts of homecooked food and makes some bad decisions during the course of conversion with family in tight quarters. But it is also the time when people like to say what they are thankful for, things that have gone right, or lessons learned from hardships experienced. But unlike common etiquette where you say thank you after getting a gift we’re flipping this situation on its ear! For sharing what you are thankful for you can get some fun stuff!
Buckyballs, that fantastically fun magnetic figdety toy has graciously offered to giveaway three sets of their product to loyal listeners and readers of the CaffiNation. I’ve talked about my need for a fidget before. I have busy hands that need to be kept occupied while I’m working on projects, on conference calls or in meetings. And this silent toy is just the thing!
So here is what is going to happen, We’re going to give away 2 sets randomly and one on merit. What does that mean? Well we are going to be choosing two winners at random out of all of the entries, and the final set will go to someone who produces the most deserving entry, as decided by yours truly. You enter the same way for both possibilities.
How to enter? Complex contests are horrible, Simply leave a comment on this post, or drop me an email at thanks@caffination.com, with a valid email address, about what you are thankful for this year. Do so before December 10th. Two random comments will win Sets, as well as the best response overall. What does best mean? Who knows, but if its heartwarming I might go for it, humerus always a plus, or overly geeky that might win it as well. The rest is up to you. Leave a comment, or email and get in on the fidgety goodness.
We added the email option in just in case people didn’t want to air their ‘Thankful Bidness’ in public
If you can’t wait to try this toy, or you have horrible luck we have you covered. If you don’t win you can always go to www.GetBuckyBalls.com and enter “caffination†for a promo code to earn 15% off through December 15th. Or Even if you do win the Code still works. Basically its something for nothing!
Enjoy and get to commenting.

I’m thankful for the podcasts that I get to enjoy each week. I listen to about 18 podcasts that are released monthly or weekly and that means that each of these podcasters are dedicated to producing their shows. I enjoy them while at work when I have some mundane or tedious tasks, so I really appreciate their sacrifices to make great shows and to do it week after week. It helps me through the work week.
Thank you.
I am thankful for myself having a job. I am also thankful for my family, I couldn’t ask for better kids! Of course I could not leave out my Droid, something I am very thankful for. It keeps me connected to the world, with no computer at home it is my internet connection, keeps me on twitter, checks my work email, downloads 40+ hours of podcasts weekly for me to listen to while at work, and lets me play all the old video games I played when I was younger and now are sitting in storage.
I would also like to thank the caffination podcast. I look forward to the show weekly.
I am thankful right now for quite a bit of technology, but especially for my high speed internet connection, my Mac and my iPhone. As my current job has come to an end, I am starting a new job as a Virtual Assistant. For this job I will be helping small and medium businesses get things done right from my home. This job would not be possible without a good connection to the internet and a good computer that I can count on to do this work. I think this is a great testament to the power the internet and how it is changing the job market, how we work, and how the economy is changing as well. Thanks for the contest!
