Favorite Firefox Add-ons

June 11, 2009

I’ve been asked multiple times what my favorite add-ons are for Firefox. I made a post ages ago about it, but what about an update?

How about this? N.G. Woosh’s Favorite Add-Ons! I’ll even make an attempt to keep it updated, just for you.

What about you? What add-ons do you use?

My Coke Rewards – Giveaway!

May 12, 2009

Looking for something free? I decided that tomorrow (Wednesday, May 13th) I’ll be giving away FOUR unused codes for My Coke Rewards (the free stuff from coke caps thing)! I have been doing MCR for years and I have so many codes around that I can’t keep up with them all. Instead of using them next week when my limit resets, I’m giving some of them away!

Where will I give them away? Now there’s something fun.

  • I’m going to email one to a random commenter in this thread (hint: comment).
  • I’m going to post one on my twitter (hint: follow me).
  • I’m going to give one to somebody who sends me an IM on any messenger, including the Wimzi widget in my side bar (hint: Contact Me).
  • I’m going to give one to my wife to post to her twitter, and I won’t even know when she does it (hint: follow her).

Update 1: I’ve posted a code on twitter! Has it been used? Go find out! More to come.

Update 2: I’ve given out the second code via IM! Two codes left!

Update 3: It looks like my wife gave the third code out on her twitter! Has it been used yet? Go find out!

Update 4: Sent out the email code! All done! Be sure to check back often for updates! More giveaways to come.

Win a $5 Amazon Gift Card!

April 7, 2009

Starting today, April 7th and lasting until April 30th I’m giving away a $5 Amazon Gift Card!

On May 1st I will put all of the names into a bowl and let this little guy pull one out:

(Thank you my lovely wife for the picture.)

I will email the code to the winner and announce the name of the winner in a new post!

How to enter: Sign up for Points4Rewards (click click) and complete (get credit for) at least 1 offer, then comment here with the username you signed up with and your email address (for the gift card).

There are tips located here for completing offers on Points4Rewards. You’re free to complete as many offers as you would like, though only one offer is required for your entry. (See, I’m making this even easier than it already is!)

Extra entry: If you want an extra entry to enter with, make sure to tweet (post to twitter): Visit Geek Dad (@ngwoosh) to win an Amazon Gift Card! http://is.gd/riJ6

Don’t forget to include the link!

If you tweet for your second entry, please comment here and let me know so that I can verify who you are!

Rules: If you are banned from Points4Rewards for any reason you will be disqualified. Follow the rules at Points4Rewards! You must comment here with your username (the username you used to sign up at Points4Rewards) and email address (to receive the gift card). Any entry received after 11:59 PM EST on April 30th will be ineligible to win.

Additional notes: Points4Rewards has paid me multiple times, and it is a legit site (ie, NOT A SCAM). My payment proof is available in Geek Dad’s Guide to Free Stuff as well as on the Points4Rewards forums.

4/25 Update: I am ending the giveaway less than a week early for multiple reasons. At this point there have been no eligible entries, so nobody is being treated unfairly by ending it early. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact me. I am looking to hold another giveaway soon, so watch for that! It will probably be similar to this one.
