After reviewing this week's entries with a satisfied sigh and many unexpected grins, we think it's safe to say you guys have gotten over the holiday doldrums and are back in full effect, yo. The high-quality responses to our challenge to Design a new electronic device that would really amaze us if we saw it at the Consumer Electronics Show yielded a corny-copia of love, life, and laughter, reminding us what we're all in this for. Enjoy:
First prize - $100
tgentry - Peevo & Fetus Carrier
We couldn't decide which of tgentry's entries should win, so what the hell, here's a one-way tie for first. No arguments about how to split the money, guys.
Second prize - $50
LKK - Barbot & Motionmote
And here's another one-man R&D department, coming up with two entries we just couldn't stand to eliminate.
Third prize - $20
