Today in Engadget: March 3, 2006

Almost two years ago to the day, a young man sat down at his computer to blog about SanDisk's new TransFlash memory card for cellphones- twenty-four months later, and that man is still glued to his computer, writing about gadgets with a passion and wit rarely seen in the blogosphere. Since it's not our style to hit up our dear readers for presents (your constant corrections of our posts are thanks enough), we're pulling the ol' switcheroo and using this special occasion as an excuse to give out a bunch of swag instead, so scroll down a few screens for your change to win the first of seven great prizes, a sweet sweet Slingbox. And while you're down there "below the fold," don't forget to check out Don's (editor-in-chief of Engadget Canada) thorough history of handheld video games- it's the most fun you can have travelling down memory lane.
