You’ve made it! This is the answer page for the Neatorama Mini Hunt: Made By Hand contest.
You’re just one step away from winning a prize: login to your Neatorama account (or if you don’t have one, it’s fast and easy to register) and write a comment with what you’d like from the NeatoShop.
ONE entry per person, please – multiple entries will get you disqualified. If you made a mistake, don’t write another entry (email me instead).
We’ll pick 6 random winners – 3 will win autographed copy of Made by Hand book by Mark Frauenfelder, and 3 will win what they pick from the NeatoShop. If you don’t write down what you’d like from the NeatoShop, then you forfeit the prize, mmkay? So head on over there and take a looksie! You can pick any item $50 or less.
Once again, good luck!
Update 6/25/10 – Congratulations to amanderpanderer, timdrew, and doodledawne who got the book! Also to oasisob1, jorenko, and sunup who got neat stuff from the NeatoShop.
Alex
Don’t forget: you have to visit the NeatoShop and write down one thing you’d like from (one item in stock $50 or less) there to enter.
If you don’t, you forfeit the prize, mmkay?
Oh, and my favorite new item: the ROFLCOPTER Pilot T-shirt!
Mike_de_BC
I’m quite fond of the Hacked! USB Flash Drive (Only one left in stock! Under $50! Hope I win!)

My mother has neither a spleen nor gallbladder, so one or both of your plush organs would go a long way in making her whole again. This would have made a great Mother’s Day gift, but I suppose, better late than never.
Aligubbs
Brain Plush, please. I need more brain cells – work has killed the ones I have at the moment…
skogovoktober
I would like the pickle brine water bottle. Yes sir, thank you sir.
Drawsalot
What an amazing read, those first chapters!
Please send the Pandora’s box secret storage.
Maggie Olson
Truly…. no such thing as too many Bucky Balls. I politely request the Bucky Balls.
April
I love these hunts!
I would really enjoy the Lego Dynamo torch! (or, uh…my husband would 
)
Leslieeaton

scottunder
Ooh, ooh, pick me. If I don’t get a book, then send me Buckyballs! Yay.
mwschmeer
Great Colbert clip! He IS an elf!
Oh, and I’d like the Arrogant Bastard Tumbler — destined to be a classic!
Fauge
I would like a set of Buckyballs if I were to win.
Great site, glad that I found it.
russtolium
Thesaurus t-shirt! Small mens size. Can’t wait to read the book too, whether I win it or buy it.
Kyle
Being a homebrewer and general beer snob, I think I need a Stone Imperial Russian Stout tumbler.
Thanks guys!
jcavera
Great story (so far). $50 worth of bacon beans please. Or if just one thing, the hacked USB drive.
Kate
Cool and thanks! I’d take the buckyballs iffin’ I don’t win the book.
iamams
I liked the book preview, hope I get one, but if not, Buckyballs please.
mollymillions
Thanks for the opportunity! I would love a Calf and Half Creamer!
glatt1
I bought and read Mark’s book a week or two ago. It’s pretty good.
If I win, I’d love to have those magnetic Buckyballs.
jorenko
I’m afraid I’m going to have to cave in to peer pressure and ask for buckballs as well. Thanks!
Evan
My wife surprised me with Mark’s book for Father’s Day. Im still waiting for it to come in the mail, and can’t wait to read it.
I found Neatorama by searching “blogs similar to Boing Boing”. I’ve been coming back everyday. Great site!
nickbottom
Buckballs seems to be the request of the day – but who wouldn’t want them?
Count me in!
gadgetenvy
I would wear a I Heart Sci-Fi t-shirt until it wore out.
I can always use new t-shirts.
Muffit
I would loooooove to read the book, or maybe Buckyballs, sirs and madams!
Merci!
jshrop
FTW I would love a Picnic Table Condiment Set.
Good read btw, have it on Kindle, and would also love the signed hard copy!
Cryptonomico
I love the book. I would like to read it while wearing a 2XL mosaic yin yang t-shirt. Readers of Mark’s book should be able to make their own Buckyballs!
RKNNDY
I actually got a proof of the book months ago, started reading because it was relevant to my interests and then freaked when I saw who the author was. I’d still love a signed copy (or a Hacked! USB drive).
brettspiel
Really want the book, but would be really happy with a large plush ham bone! (or buckballs, but everyone seems to want those!)
Charlie Pearce
Surely we all need a Samurai Umbrella? I certainly would like one!
Justin C.
great story! reminds me of what dawn and drew are trying to do now.
anotherfascist
As a biology teacher, I’d love the Human Anatomy Head Puzzle. Thank you.
cake82
Enter Key Doormat Please! I would prefer a copy of the book – fascinating already! Will hold off on my own purchase though, to make sure I don’t end up with 2 copies!
Justin C.
great story! reminds me of what dawn and drew are trying to do now. Oh and I’d like the Nemesis T-shirt or the buckyballs- whatever those are.
witchdoc
I am up for keeping bees and the handmade life! Yellow Submarine Radio
japangoober

amanderpanderer

timdrew

killgore9998
Howdy!
If I win second prize, I’d like the Hacked! USB Flash Drive (2GB). http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Hacked-USB-Flash-Drive-2GB
Thank you!
Shadman
Buckyballs. A friend got them for her father at Christmas and we all sat around playing with them for hours.
Michelle
So many Neatoshop items I like if I didn’t win the authographed book. First choice would be the Pandora’s Box Secret Storage, second choice the Arrow Magnetic Book Ends and third choice the I Survived the Hadron Collider T-shirt .
Stay inspired!
sid
I would love the book, but my second choice is to rock out with the record coasters, please.
Thanks. Stay happy!
reed
Rarotonga, rarotonga, rarotonga!
*poof*
I will ask the neatorama genie for… arrow magnetic bookends, please.
thrifty
Thanks for doing this!
The Mug Talk with Chalk would be my choice but that appears out of stock. Maybe just the I’m Not a Paper Cup mug.
travytrav
I Love this book, and your site…
It’s rad to the BONE, I read my RSS feeds every morning over Breakfast.
Especially after I take a shower with my new Psycho Shower Curtain!
shane_solo
Well, if I win the book it will make a great present for one of my friends. Otherwise, I’d take Pandora’s Box Secret Storage!
snidelywhiplash
Hiya – I’d love the Chaplin Watch if you get it back in stock. Otherwise I’d be thrilled with the Relativity Watch as well.
maggieyeti
Ooooh! I’d like the Yellow Submarine Waterproof Radio! Love to have the book, too.
sushi
Shredsors, please! Those could save a lot of time when I’m shredding things.
burninglily
Would love the Psycho Shower Curtain…as usual, my favorite.
Woohoo!!!
JohnnyMac
Hello! I’d like the Rosy Bookends please! Honestly I’d be just as happy with the book. Hope I make it!
HeatherA
LOVE the story (who doesn’t love a modern escapist/survival story on a tropical island, aka Swiss Family Robinson) I would love to win an XL T-shirt, Gray, “I (heart) Sci-Fi.” *HEH!* Love the shirt, too! –Heather
greychild
YAY!
I’d really like The Very Hungry Caterpillar Storybook Zoobie.
Nikki
I would like the Challenger (Black) Wireless Road Mice. It’s my car! I think it is pretty much the greatest thing ever.
MinorThreat
teddangit forgot one thing i wanted which would be the samurai umbrella
malloryvw
Samurai Umbrella, for assaulting my enemies… and rain. Mostly for rain.
carlj
I like the Hacked! USB Flash Drive. It caught my eye quicker than anything else.
amolson86
I would like the Robot USB Flash Drive (2GB) in light blue. Thanks!
oasisob1
Polluted Glass, if you come across any, or if not, then the Ice Invader Ice Tray. Woo woo!
sunup
Henry VIII and Disappearing Wives Mug.
How wonderful!!
I have read so much Tudor history lately that it’s coming out my ears .. I’d be the happiest chicky on earth to be reading my book while enjoying a nice hot cuppa with that mug.
wow!!
Moshi
Bucky Balls, or a Nietzsche Watch or a Henry the VIII mug! Or just surprise me cause this is so exciting and I prolly should stop drinking coffee right now! PICK ME!!!!!!!
Conny
G’day;
Robot USB HUB Black.
We’ve been living the dream for 15 years now.
Would recommend to everyone.
Cheers all
JPM
Howzabout the Hacked USB Flash Drive if I’m the winner? Or the book, of course!! Thanks.
mattb5
Would love the book. But that Enter key floor mat screams my name too.
Brendan
Supar sekrat island!
Buckyballs, please. Here’s hoping.
Also the book would be cool — I’ve been meaning to pick it up.
Brother Beaker
I would love a Camaro (Highway Patrol) Wireless Road Mouse! Patrolling the information super-highway!
flickrdoodle
Dali Watch (hoping I can pick something temporarily out of stock).
marisakendall
I don’t think I can live without “Will Ferrel’s Sexy Hot Tan Sunscreen”
duffmeister
I have to go with the Buckyballs: I can imagine mad games hiding some of them under a thin bit of cardboard and then trying to roll others across the top. I have a few thoughts on them:
1) Hard to keep in C-60 sphere with dipole field patterns. (If they’re made with monopoles, it’ll buy a set even if I don’t win).
2) If the C-60 is really fifteen units of C-4, please send detonator in different package.
3) If this is a Get Fuzzy product… then I’ll probably want to e-mail you that alternate choice.
lolamouse
So glad I stumbled upon the site! I’d love the Sexy Blogger T in an XL (Pink, Ladies) if I don’t get the signed book, which I’d also love! I’m bookmarking your site-too cool!
HajimeOwari
I would like the Exuvius Multi-Tool Titanium Collar, if you get more in stock. If not, Das Kapital Secret Storage Case, please!
Thanks!
Alex
