Today, I used the full power* of my dual-1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 to generate five random numbers to select the winners in the Link Exchange Contest.
We received about three hundred entries (not counting the spam), and in the process I learned about a number of interesting sites I never would have discovered otherwise. I’ve added the most popular suggested links to the Linkage page, and put all the Exchanged Links on their own page. I’m sure you’ll find something interesting there.
Thanks to everyone who entered, and congratulations to the five lucky winners.
The Winners

*At least I used to think it was powerful, until Aperture brought it to its knees.

Congrats to those that won, but I’m a bit miffed that I’m not included in the list of linking sites when I clearly had/have a link to WBL on my site (and which I submitted, of course). So it seems I wasn’t even in the draw
Hi Oliver – You were definitely in the contest; I just messed up when I was making the link page (it got grouped in with some other ’spymac’ submissions). Fixed now. Mike
Wow, i won.
Thanks a lot Mike, i enjoy reading WBL and i’m looking forwards to the book. Keep it up.
Cool contest. Nice way to get inbound links.
Aloha
Nice one, I won! I never win anything. I think I’ll play the lottery this week
You should have played the Powerball last week.
lol. sorry about that then
Thanks for the contest Mike, I can’t believe I won something. I was already linking to you and as soon as my site is back up and running I will be again. Love the project, keep it up man!
I didn’t win anything. The link to your site has been removed now of course.
Just to say, that i’ve got the ipod. Here’s a flickr photoset of it.
