Competition - Next Mike Gunderloy TriWinner

Hey everyone, I know, 2 non-link posts in a single week. I'm slipping but it's all good...

I wanted to say that I have been overwhelmed with the amount of readers I am receiving for this blog. According to Feedburner, I have over 450 subscribers! Amazing since I created this blog as a placeholder for links I find interesting. Glad you find value in it.

A few months ago, Leon Bambrick had a competition to see who would be the next Mike Gunderloy. Amazingly I was one of the 3 finalists. As an award, Leon gave me 4 licenses to TimeSnapper. Of course I am going to keep one for myself :) which means I have 3 others to give away.

Here's how it is going to work. I have 3 numbers picked out between 0 and 9999 (10,000-1). For the next 7 days, leave your guess and your email address (I would suggest encrypting it somehow (e.g. yourname at domain dot com - but make it so I can understand it)) and next Friday (10/26/2007) I will pick the three closest guesses and announce the winners. I will email out the licenses to the winners at that time. If I cannot understand your email address or if it gets returned, I'll pick another winner.

Edit #1: Only one entry per email address. I don't want to get spammed with 10K emails.
Edit #2: First come, first serve. If I get 10 comments with the same answer as one of the 3 numbers, I will take the first 3.
Edit #3: A little unorthodox yes but it's the closest guess to each of the three numbers. Each winner is a separate number.

The comment idea is based on Leon's great comment he left me: "...but i'm gonna respond anyway since every other ungrateful b*stard hardly ever leaves a comment at your excellent and most informative blog".

Good luck!

Thanks Leon!

You are, indeed, doing a great job. Nice balance between having a good number of links, and having useful commentary.

My guess is 7247, and my email address is badloki6-blogger@yahoo.com (I haven't obscured it because it's a disposable address.)
