crelf Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Like previous years, we'll be having lucky-door prizes at the BBQ, so if you've got anything you'd like to offer up to be given away on the night please bring it with you. It doesn't have to be anything super awesome (previous prizes include anything from a Wii to Microsoft Zunes to signed copies of LabVIEW 2.0 user manuals, right down to stickers, pens and mousepads). When we draw your tiem(s) we'll give you a quick shout-out, and if it's a big prize we'll let you draw it. See y'all in about a month! Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 A quick reminder: we'd love to have some awesome (and some not-so-awesome) door prizes at the BBQ! You don't have to list them here, but please bring them with you to the BBQ and we'll give them away. Quote Link to comment

crelf Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The most sincere high-five is a self-high-five! So many possible replies, such an online reputation to protect. Quote Link to comment

Fab Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Another fantastic door prize: Jeffrey Travis gave me a signed copy of LabVIEW for Everyone. I asked Jim Kring and Lisa Wells and they both will sign it. See you next week!, Fab Quote Link to comment

Justin Goeres Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 JKI is donating the following items: A(nother) signed copy of LabVIEW For Everyone. We're not quite as connected as Fabiola--or at least we don't plan as well--so this one will be signed by Lisa Wells (1st ed) and Jim Kring (3rd ed) but not by Jeffrey Travis. Call this the "Second Place" LabVIEW for Everyone . An AppleTV. Rent & buy movies and TV shows, share your own music & movies, watch Netflix titles instantly, and more! Maybe some other stuff! If you don't buy your ticket, you'll never know! Quote Link to comment

Popular Post crelf Posted July 28, 2011 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 National Instruments is donating a 4Gb DatastickPRO USB thumb drive: Well that doesn't sound very interesting, does it? What kind of lame-arse prize is that NI? I mean, come on - you've got to do better than a 4Gb thumb drive - seriously. Wait, what? What's that you say? There's something on the drive? You're kidding! A LabVIEW 1.0 Emulator, complete with instructions of how to run it! You can run the emulator from the datastick, and test out your favorite retro code - just remember, do not adjust your monitor - the code is meant to be in black and white Thanks to National Instruments. for continuing to support the LabVIEW community! 3 Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Truchard Vineyards is donating a bottle of their highly coveted Truchard Pinot Noir, signed by Dr. T: Is there anything that man can't do? Well, yes, because Truchard Vineyards is actually owned by Dr. T's brother - but we hear it's one hell of a drop. Maybe this prize should be taken off the door prize list, and added to the crelf drinking list... Thanks to Truchard Vineyards and National Instruments. for continuing to support the LabVIEW community! Quote Link to comment
jgcode Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is pleased to donated 2 Ipod Shuffles to the 2011 LAVA/OpenG NI-Week Bar-B-Q. I won't be at the NI Week and therefore the BBQ this year. Which is probably a good thing as last year I won my own prize, then had to return it... Mad props to Christopher Relf for helping me out - someone buy that man a beer (or three).
