Default APOD book/Ambient Space giveaway contest!
This thread is for the Astronomy | 365 APOD book and Ambient Space DVD giveaway contest I described on my blog. To register, just post (only once, please) in this thread! On Saturday April 21st at noon (Pacific) I'll pick a random post number, and that person wins the book, and the second random winner gets the DVD.

However, I can only ship the book inside the United States, so please state in your post if you are in the US or not. The DVD I will ship anywhere. Again, see the blog for details.

Enjoy!

Default Pick me or Else?
I would say something about picking me, but since you say you are going to pick a "random" number, and we all know that there can never truly be a "random" number (there is always an underlying unrandomness) I will just hope you pick the number that corresponds to me.

And yeah, living in the good old US of A for my whole life.

I know this is really really tacky.....getting a log in just for a competition - but I have been reading the BABlog for ages now and just lurking. Of course I don't even get to have a chance at the book....living in the ar$e end of the world. Such is life. At least I might score the DVD. (Does this mean I get two chances as all the people in the US have two chances to win something and I only get one?)

Oh and for those who are wondering - I live in Sydney, Australia.

Lucky post number 13!!

I'm in a suburb of St. Louis, MO, which (as far as I can tell) is well within the borders of the continental US.

Nice book, btw!!

I'm in the race!
Though sadly only for the DVD, since I'm living in Denmark, which isn't part of that Union.

Too bad I am NOT ELIGABLE FOR THE BOOK!!! It's racism! No, no, it's terrorism! I'll ask the americans to take action! This needs to be stopped. ;-)

This is coming from south central Pennsylvania, which has been spared the brunt of the current nor'easter. What a monster storm!

Thanks a lot for your site, your blog, and the giveaway contest. Let's hope the DVD goes out of the US... I live in France.
