Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Party Grand Prize Winner

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the congratulations-for-the-carnage dept.

From Brisbane to Beunos Aires... From the UK to France to Romania... from New York to San Francisco and everywhere in between, we had well over 100s of parties and over 2,300 registered attendees scattered around the world. Many of them got boxes of t-shirts and ThinkGeek gift certificates (and some of them even got them on time). We've seen cakes with legos and logos, we seen nerf gun fights, and even a lawn sporking. I've put a tiny sampling of my favorite pictures online. The grand prize winner is of the $1k store credit at ThinkGeek is Lindsi from Minneapolis. Their party featured a lolcats cake, a taco bar and a dude in a helmet smashing computers with a sledge hammer in a raining parking lot. They earned it. We had a great time in both Palo Alto and Ann Arbor- I hope you guys had fun wherever you gathered. See you again in 2017!

      Most significant bit. Otherwise, someone might have claimed that Slashdot was only 0x05. Got to nip those endian issues in the bud. ;)

  4. And how fitting... by sootman · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... that the story to cap the festivities would contain the awkward phrase "... we had well over 100s of parties..."

    The proud Slashdot editorial tradition continues. Here's to over tens of more great years! :-)

    You really have to give them full marks for creativity. They even made cardboard cutouts of girls!
