    Looks like a low turn out. Somebody needs to say something stupid or use their private email to do HAMB business, like real politicians.
    So much apathy. Who cares?

    I find it odd as well, usually 3K or so online here at any given time, yet just 300 or so votes.

    Lazy people? No maybe inconsiderate... Maybe most can't recognize tech? You'd think there was a charge to vote...Its FREE people! FREE! Many like cheap, FREE is more better..Your momma... --- .... ... ...... ... !

    I think a big part of the problem is that the phone app doesn't seem to let you vote. If the better half of the views are from the mobile app, you may have your answer.

    What a nail bitter, at first I was just hoping for the top five then once the pack cleared things really got going. I was really hoping for 2nd, not for all the swag but the glory. I think the race to the finish line between me and "Emboss Your Valve Cover" made it a bit interesting. At times I thought I had him and managed to shut him down a couple of times but on the final lap he got past me and all I could manage to do was keep up with him.

    Either way it was a lot of fun. Thanks to all that supported me with your vote along with your comments. I hope someone puts my tech to use one day...that would be the biggest reward.

    My plans was to select a charity for the $$$ put up by those who generously supported this round of Tech Week and match the person that put up the most, which turned out to be $50.

    I found a charity local to me that has a good rating:

    http://www.childrensplacekc.org/ways-to-help/donate/

    http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=15347#.Vi6Ty36rSM8

    As far as the hard goods, I'll take those, they sounds like fun.

    Cheers!
    HUSSEY
