Yesterday, the FedEx man dropped off a care package from the good folks at Market Leverage. Inside the Nike bag was a bunch of really nice stuff for me and Sally.
One of the items was a 2GB USB flash drive pen that I’ve decided to give away. This is one of the coolest pens in the world and is sure to be a great conversation piece. Find out how to enter the contest by watching the video below.
The contest closes on Friday, May 9. The winner will be announced on Saturday during Dot Com Pho. To get an additional entry, simply blog about this contest and send a trackback. Good luck!

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Disclaimer: Don’t steal trade secrets out of your office with this pen.
USB Pen will be cool to carry pics and important files, count me in.

My flash drive recently broke and I would love to win this

Thanks!
I would love to win, but more importantly its good to see you giving back to your community, keep up the good work John.

Count me in
Awesome prize – put my name in as well. Thanks!
That’s a great looking pin, are you only giving out one pen, you think I would be the lucky one? Gotta know how to ask for it though. How about: Thank you John what a great and much needed gift?!
Sally is very cute. She’s going to take over the internet soon. She’s a natural.
I’m feeling lucky, count me in!
Unfortunately I wasn’t the winner the 10,000 Entrecard credits I hope I win this time.
Is this the same pen you and some guys ran over in one of the dot com pho?
No, that was the Corsair Survivor, which survived and it was 32 GBs, not 2 GB.
Let me test drive my luck, but hardly believe will work out
Thats indeed a James Bond kinda pen drive, if I win I already know who will receive it as present
2GB? Wow that would be perfect for storing all of John Chows very helpful blog posts for quick and easy offline referencing!
Sign me up!
Time to win it…
…then Give It Away Again!
Haha great idea! Count me in too and I’ll give it away after too
I replied, and this is an entry
I am replying! I hope I win!!!
You can give it to me and save some money on shipping, I’ll pick it up at Dot Com Pho next week
So how many Gigs of USB drives do you have?
Cool pen! How do you always get such cool stuff to give away? I wonder how many times this one is going to exchange hands…
That is one “flashy” pen, a in wonderful convenience for school.

Count me in and good luck to everyone!
sweet pen. can’t wait to see how it looks on my desk

My wife is always ‘misplacing’ my pens. I am also missing a flash drive. In the words of Rowan Atkinson:
‘It’s a race…I hope I win…’
Luck is not really my thing, but lets see how this work …
I am in
Here’s my reply, and your chance to say you sent that awesome pen drive to Mexico
Aww..
I wanna win now !!!

Footprints through the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
What were the other things in the bag
What a great first item that would make in my newly founded John Chow Presidential Library Museum. Uh-hum.
Nice marketing technique John
By giving away something cool that was given to you for free, you not only try to increase traffic to your site, but also please the guys at Market Leverage by including an additional post about that company.
lol funny stuff, and here’s my application
Entered!
John, The guys at Market Leverage were very smart about the gifts that they sent you. They gave Sally some neat stuff and you’re teaching her that it’s not always about getting stuff. You must be having a blast with these contests. I’m sure enjoying reading about them and being a part of them also. Many thanks for being a great teacher of the Dot Com Lifestyle
sweet lookin pen u got there, hook me up!
That is a cool pen man. My stupid computer is messing up though. I can’t watch the video until tomorrow at work.
ets keep teh pen on the east side..
I want in!
I could always use some more portable storage. Thank for the chance at winning.
I could use it too. I’m a student without an ipod nor flash drive. lol.
Can you refill the ink in the pen?
Hmmm, 67 comments but only a handfull of actual trackbacks so far. Good odds.
Count me in! Trackback INC!
Your daughter is cute.
This pendrive is more original.
greetings
I really would like to win a pen from John Chow

J.C, i`m in!
Yeah, I could really use it, since I always need USB storage device and pen to write clients details.
I work in IT support and I don’t have a USB stick. Now that’s a shocker! Count me in for this please.

I hope I win this USB Pen. I have written a little post about this contest here: http://www.duckeldanny.com/win-a-2-gb-usb-pen-from-john-chow/
I want the Pen
Mr. Chow… I think those 2Gb must stay in Canada… Shipping to Ontario will always be cheaper than sending south of the border… C’mon!!
Great prize, count me in!
ha… how about sending it all the way to India. (one way ticket only please)
Count me in this sweet deal
John I am wondering did Sally agreed to giving this away ??
I would love a 2GB flash pen!
awesome pen hope i win hehe
That certainly is James Bond-ish. I can be in a meeting with my phat pen. Someone needs a flash drive. “Oh no, wait. I got one riiiiight here.”
Please enter me into the contest.
Thanks!
KC
Can I join??
by the way your son looks a lot like you..
(latest post: Microsoft in-car infotainment system)
I’ll throw my hat in for this but I disagree, John – you can never have too many flash drives
Count me in.
That pen is sweeet, looks like something from a James Bond movie, insane. I recall back in the late 1990s when my whole computer system was a 4 gig drive, lol. Now you can put 4 gigs in your pocket.
I like to add to my pen collection:
