YouSayToo Awards - Tengu


"Working on your computer can be lonely. There's no shame in admitting it. But you know what? Things are looking better, because now you can get yourself a brand new blocky little friend in the form of Tengu! Tengu is a USB-powered guy that lights up and lip-syncs to music, or your voice, or whatever noise happens to be around at the time. Tengu has many different facial expressions that you can match to different music. When there's no sound he'll simply fall asleep, and as soon as he detects some noise he'll wake up again. He's ready to party, but he never makes a mess! Any powered USB port is just fine for hooking the little guy up, so go ahead and get Tengu! Imported. Wipe clean.


* Included: Tengu, USB cable
* Mac and PC compatible
* 1.75"w, 2.5"h, .5"d




I just want to thank YouSayToo.com for the prize of a "Tengu", as described as above! I entered into the "Awards" competition on their website, well, I really was after the $1000 top prize - but unfortunately I didn't win... but I did scrape the top 10 which I must thank a lot of people for, largely my real-life friends. They know who they are, and probably don't even read my blog... so whatever. Thanks guys! Special mention to Xanapus (whose blog is here) because he is someone I met online who I know voted for my blog, and I votes for his back! I came 9th and he came 10th, so we were basically at the same place - it really was like one or two votes separating us!

So it's awesome to win a prize, and the Tengu is pretty cute - right now it's singing along to my "Moulin Rouge!" soundtrack. Thanks heaps YouSayToo! 


P.S. I don't know what the fuck is up with the font in this post, it's refusing to be normal - so you'll just have to settle for how ugly it is. I have no idea why.

YouSayToo's awards


1. YouSayToo's awards
2. What your $1,000 holiday dream gift is and why you want it

I desperately want an iPhone or iTouch because they're both so much cooler than my 4th Gen iPod Nano and to reach a level of actual coolness and to fit in with the cool people in this day and age, you must have the latest and greatest accessories.

3. Which of YouSayToo’s fun gifts you like the most

Tengu

4. Why your blog should win.

Because it accurately depicts and details over an entire year of my life in a muy hilarious kind-of-way, in my opinion. I think I have kept my blog considerably well updated, I change the colours and themes every so often and it's just a fairly interesting personal, point of view on my own life for others in the world to peer into and perhaps share their own experiences.

5. The post must be tagged under “yousaytoo awards”.

This is very important!

Done.
