Have you signed up for our March Madness fun?  Be ready so you can get your brackets done when the announcement of teams is made on Sunday.  Mike is our hoops guru, so contact him if you have any questions.  Time for a Hoops related Contest.  You can win this exciting prize, BASKET CASE.  The winner of this prize can select a friend to wear the basket so others can take their shots.  Looks like fun to us!  A little cash to treat the participants to a snack comes with the game.  Just leave a basketball related comment below to enter.  A random entry will be selected, so no skill necessary to win, but you must have a gravatar!  Contest is open to all, and friends and family of SEI Design Group are encouraged to participate.

Eric has broken Jimmi’s chance at the “3rd times a charm” Valentine Contest run.  Jimmi still holds the record for the most Valentine wins, but Eric, is the proud owner of the new gumball machine (bank) and $20 (less whatever he spent to fill it).   Michele was masterminding all the items that could fit in the machine, and her eyes were rolling with cheery thoughts of shopping at Wegmans, but Eric would not allow that, and had to shop himself.  The actual number of hearts before the Rochester crew started to devour them was 315.  For those who did not win, be sure to have your gravatar ready for the next contest (can you say St. Patty’s Day?).

It’s about that time again, and this is a super easy contest!  Guess how many candy hearts in the jar. Submit your entry by February 10th by leaving a comment below. Entries will only count if you have a gravatar.  You may only enter 1 time.  In the case of a tie, the earliest entry will win, so don’t delay.  The winner will be awarded this gumball machine and some moolah to keep it stocked.  This contest is open to all including SEI staff, friends and family.

And the winner is…. Justin (the man with the lucky seat)!  Enjoy the DVD!  Lunchtime sharing is encouraged, so Mike and Jimmi can stop complaining that they didn’t win.

Have you seen this movie?  Enter our super easy contest by commenting below (one comment per person). One lucky winner will be chosen at random to receive this movie on DVD. This contest is open to all including SEI Design Group staff members and families. Be sure to enter before the contest ends September 8, 2009.

It’s that time of year when we have a contest associated with Valentine’s Day.  This year our contest will begin on Valentine’s Day!  Hopefully you have already thought about your sweetie(s) and planned for the special day, but in case you didn’t, your friendly SEI blogger has some suggestions for you:  Preorder a Kindle 2.  This device has built in 3G wireless for the life of the gadget and can hold a zillion books.  Good for the environment.  Very lightweight and easy to read even in sunlight.  Check out the videos.  Of course the best gadget of all time, the iPod Touch, is the best gift for Valentine’s Day.  Gift cards for spa treatments, iTunes, and Amazon are always welcome.  You can also look at the last minute gift ideas we had before the holiday, and if all else fails, traditional candy and flowers might work.

Be sure to enter the “What’s In Your Bag?” contest by end of October 10!  Win a brand new Nano!

So, what is in your bag? To enter the contest, leave a comment below explaining what is in your bag (and what type of a bag it is) and also provide a link to a photo of the contents. You can use Flickr, or any other resource to upload the photo.

SEI will be awarding a brand new shiny 8 GB iPod Nano (just released last week) for a lucky winner’s bag. Watch movies and listen to tunes with the new Genius feature.

A random winner from the commenters of this post will be selected. Be sure you meet the requirements (explain what is in your bag in the comment, and have a link to the uploaded photo).  If you are technically challenged or have trouble uploading, use our contact form and we will try to help you.  Deadline for the contest is October 1, 2008, and the winner can select his/her choice of 9 colors for the new 8 GB iPod Nano. 2nd and 3rd place winners will get an SEI dryfit T-shirt. Contest is open to all and we will ship free to anywhere in the US.  And to those of you going, see you at BlogWorld!

Last night, 15 SEI Design Group staff members from our Rochester office participated in the Chase Corporate Challenge.  This race/ walk and party was held at the RIT campus, and was the largest challenge to date, with well over 11,000 participants from 448 local companies.  There are worldwide races in 12 cities and Rochester ranks Number 1 in terms of participation.  We all had a great time raising money for four local charities.  Thanks to our inspirational coach and organizer, Ted, who kept us up to date, well-fed, and made it happen. 

Announcing winners for our contest.  Eric posted lucky number 10, so the singing duck may live near a water fountain.  Ted won a cow for commenting on the oldest post.  Russ won the pig for making the most costly comment.  Thanks for the comments and congrats to all!
