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.

A wonderland of gadgets!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2008 11:47AM]

The Geek in me, just couldn't sell off any gadget that was once cool! Not to mention, my girl would love the Jawbone. Thanks.

[shawn524 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 12:58PM]

We'll miss you Ry-guy...but I plan to keep all of your stuff...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:15PM]

I'll be keeping it all, 100%. This will give me excuses to buy even more stuff to go with my free stuff. Thus continuing the circle of lif.... err stuff.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:16PM]

Yay, free stuff direct from Ryan's Old Toy Box

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:27PM]

Please Sir, may I have some gadgets...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:30PM]

pick me!!!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:39PM]

Free stuff... always cool.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 1:57PM]

This is a comment

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:46PM]

Free stuff! Count me in! YAY!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:03PM]

I'll sell almost all of.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:10PM]

Gimme Gimme. I'd probably keep it all, I don't like to sell/give things away. That's why I still have my iPod from 2004.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:11PM]

I'd probably end up keeping (and finding a use for) everything aside from the PSP cable, as I lack a PSP. Hooray stuff!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:35PM]

I would keep one from each category. Hopefully there is just one from each category, then I would have lots of stuff! Everything else for my dad.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:26PM]

WooHoooooooo

[george16 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:27PM]

Helloooooo!!!!!!!

[animusf6 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:48PM]

I have all sorts of family in dire need of gadgets! Winning would help make this geek a wee bit more socially accepted.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 25th 2008 11:45AM]

Me too!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 2:58PM]

Me too. I'll say this about Ryan, his Apple fanboyism seemed to taper off with time. The bad news is he is now leaving.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 25th 2008 10:13AM]

I like free stuff.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:29PM]

Stuff likes me.

[tuckers Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:41PM]

[GaryZ Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:42PM]

time to scavenge...huh?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:54PM]

I really like stuff, but I don't know if I am ready to love.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 3:58PM]

I like turtles.

[FragU Posted Aug 25th 2008 10:46AM]

Ryan's already got lots of stuff... I'm a poor man trying to make room in the Frigidaire box that I call home for some of his old stuff (my new treasures).

[MrBridge Posted Aug 23rd 2008 4:04PM]

Hello! Who doesn't love stuff?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 4:55PM]

I'll definitely keep the MP3 players.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 4:35PM]

I love Gadgets..my wife not so much....

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 6:41PM]

yay, gadgets!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2008 12:49AM]

I wouldn't mind a pile of electronics on my dining room floor.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 5:14PM]

Yar, time for some booty!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 5:21PM]

Raptor Jesus would be happy with a room full of gadgets

[joltheadq Posted Aug 24th 2008 1:52PM]

that's what I want, that's what I want.

[Arm51 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 5:37PM]

Nice, I'd like some stuff too!

[radia Posted Aug 23rd 2008 6:05PM]

who doesn't like stuff?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 7:03PM]

I love Gadgets but can't afford many of them so I would keep them all!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 7:04PM]

I like to win things.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 8:57PM]

If you want to give away all your stuff, then I would keep over 66% and sell off the rest. Well actually I cannot say because who knows what you can really keep and sell based on your own needs.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 7:24PM]

i love random gadgets, awesome!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 7:30PM]

Aw. Fuck contest rules

[edub1026 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 7:38PM]

I will keep the Wowwee Butterfly preferable in pink, and sell all the rest after I put it through it's paces.
p.s. If I win I'll make sure to post a picture of all my glory.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 8:51PM]

i think i'd keep it all and build some kind of giant fort.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 9:06PM]

i plan to use every bit to bury my electric bill

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 8:49PM]

I'd keep all that I could, until the wife made me sell them on eBay :)
