The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's gadgets

You know, when you're the editor-in-chief of a site like Engadget, you tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Companies send you all kinds of interesting promotional materials, gadgets, swag, etc. It's great. Sometimes, though, you just let it pile up in your living room for years and years, then, when a new editor-in-chief takes over, you send all that stuff to him in about ten huge boxes. Luckily, we've got a way of dealing with this other than just throwing it in storage -- we're giving a ton of it away. That's right, you could be one of the lucky readers to win a massive stash of gear recently jettisoned toward New York by Mr. Ryan Block. Here's what's up for grabs in this round:

Ooma VOIP box, Aliph Jawbone, Sansa e260 4GB PMP, Ramos RM550 1GB PMP, Enermax Caesar Aluminum Keyboard, SageTV Hauppauge Media Extender, Wowwee Butterfly, Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000, Microsoft Lifecam VX-5000, PSP A/V cable, Nikon 1GB flash drive, Trendset USB WiFi card, and more!

Interested? Here are the rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but a description of what percentage you plan to keep versus what you'll have to sell off, or any fond memory of a Ryan Block post is good too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. That winner will get a massive amount of gadget related goods. Packages represent a brief history of Ryan Block's tenure as editor-in-chief. Approximate value is incalculable (but no more than $600).
  
• Entries can be submitted until Friday, August 29th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

All the PMPs should come filled with the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". Rick Roll Engadget

Need the Jawbone real bad.

[revreddy Posted Aug 22nd 2008 8:39PM]

wow, let me win! I need a lot of that stuff. Anything that isnt compatible with what I already will probably just be given to a friend who needs it. I'm not that greedy to sell gifts :)

Me!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:30PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 8:56PM]

It's really fun responding to the first comment!

P.S. I really like to win things!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:08PM]

I'd probably keep 70% of it, and sell 30% to quiet my girlfriend's judgmental grin

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:01PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 10:39PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 10:21PM]

[Nerdtalker Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:20PM]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG TIME TO TAKE RYAN BLOCK's GADGETS?!?!

I knew the fate of pithy lulz-pwn would smile upon me for my sarcasm someday! I wonder how many of the gadgets would work with my "pee-cee"

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:21PM]

Maybe this stuff should be assembled into a static monument / statue of some sort.


Nah, robot it is.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:21PM]

woo..Id keep em all!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 11:22AM]

I like lots O stuff.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:23PM]

I check Engadget at least 10 times a day, and this is one reason why!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:25PM]

Gimme.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:31PM]

I'll likely keep 50% and sell off 20%, while donating the remaining 30% to my friends and family.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:28PM]

Me too!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2008 12:23PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:56PM]

Stuff is good.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:43PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:44PM]

Engadget FTW! I would keep most gadgets given. hardly see the need to sell them off.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:44PM]

I kind of feel bad taking his stuff...

[Trebawa Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:46PM]

I'm not gonna lie. I just want free stuff.

[Poot Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:49PM]

people coming out of the woodwork to win shit

[bpm2000 Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:50PM]

probably most of it.

[on air Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:57PM]

I want to keep it all no matter what the wife says ;)
But I could be nice to my co-workers, we do level 2 and 3 technical support, we are engadget freaks and read it daily (ok several times a day just dont tell the boss) or I could give some to my audiance (I also work in radio). I could also give some to my brother who is also into engadget. So although I want to keep it all I am not greedy. Feel free to send me all the freebies you want. Before hand THANKS :) hope I win.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:58PM]

Free stuff is cool

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:52PM]

Bing! I'm in.

I'd keep the computer related gear. The ooma would go to the maw-in-law & the rest would go to my kids (Aliph Jawbone, Sansa e260 4GB PMP, Ramos RM550 1GB PMP, Wowwee Butterfly). God knows what I'll do with the PSP A/V cable... maybe give it to one of my students.

Good luck Ryan!

[fearcepears Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:55PM]

I would keep a lot of it

Thanks

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:59PM]

I feel like going back to school....

[IEngadget Posted Aug 22nd 2008 10:03PM]

All sacred relics will be kept in my basement shrine dedicated to Mr. Block, of course.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2008 10:08PM]

Oooooh free.....
