Re: Winners of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

Good to see the stories posted by other members, some really good success stories there. Seeing as i'm going to be on video i'd best have a shave and make myself look semi-presentable. I hadn't even considered winning, i just wanted a t-shirt .

Re: Winners of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

I was able to use mine to record some of the vmworld 2009 madness.  WIll upload a short movie once I have had chance to edit it.  Was able to meet many of the NetApp team while at vmworld, including this dude.

Re: Winners of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

I just youtube'd mine, its a cool camera, love the Netapp Pants logo on it!

 

Here's the link:

So, I find that I have a voice for novels (versus a face for radio), and I was interviewed by an ex football player in the Canadian Football League, he's huge, its like I'm looking at my dad when he's asking me about my report card!

 

Anyways everyone, good luck and vote often when they release it!

Re: Winners of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

Seeing as there has been no announcement yet i'll post my own video. I had to record it myself so sorry if it's a bit boring or off-topic.

Re: Winners of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

From my understanding Netapp has all the videos now and are editting them, and then will be posting soon.  I'd say give it a week and you'll see something.  Until then, I'll be celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving!

 

Cheers,

 


Chris

Re: Announcing the winner of the "Will Your Story Make Us Flip" Contest

Congrats....Mario Kart is probably my favorite Wii game so far...lotsa fun (although I don't like playing with the Wii Wheel as much....dual controller for me).

 

Mario Party isn't too bad for groups and Wii Sports Resort has a few good ones as well.
