The USB Cooler Internet Subculture and a Blog Contest
Update: This contest is now closed. The winner is here.
Wonders never cease to exist. The Internet is a wonderful place for sharing and giving. This is the story of a USB cooler that has yet to make it’s first drink cold. Developed secrectly in labs surrounded by laser motion sensors {powered by USB cables} it’s life hasn’t even begun yet for the purpose it was created for. But yet here it is again on it’s world wide mission to get connected for the first time and chill a drink {nevermind the fact that it doesn’t work}.
So here’s the deal.
Up for grabs is one of a kind USB cooler autographed by the venerable John Chow himself which was won by his nemesis John Cow in a blog contest who then also gave it away in an evil twist to sell more of his own milk from his dairy farm in Mooland. So now duty falls into the hands of moi to give away this icon of a growing internet subculture - giving away the USB Cooler.
All you need to do to get a chance to win it is post a comment on this post. One comment is all you need to enter. Multiple comments won’t increase your chances. If you blog about this contest and send a link back to this post {or blog} then I’ll take it as a second entry. The more entries you have the more chances you have of winning this really cool autographed USB cooler.
BUT WAIT! There’s more…
As an added bonus I will give the winner something extra, something that actually works! I’m going to also give away this über cool looking portable desktop lamp and YES it’s powered by a USB cable. Things just can’t better than that!
A geek’s office is a very personal space. It is his domain. Everything must be just so to maximize his high-tech efficiency. Temperature, speaker placement, monitor height, keyboard pitch, chair lumbar support, lighting…
So what are you waiting for, get commenting and blogging away. The winner will be drawn on Sunday. Get your entries in.
Recap - Up for grabs
- USB cooler signed by John Chow
- USB Tech Lamp - courtesy of Everybody Go To.com
Rules -
- A comment counts as first entry

Congrats! I would say head to http://www.disregardme.com/index.cfm so you could promote the contest, but he’s on vacation.
I sure could use that lamp!
I don’t know about the cooler but that USB lamp looks pretty darn cool.
Here’s my entry.

Hey I would love to be in this contest
It would be cool “pun intended” to win this and then give it away. I could even get an authentic autograph on it from me!
Very good way to keep a drink cold while you’re at your computer - and it looks cool.
I love it that John Cow was the first comment entry! LMAO Blue is my favorite color, so I’d really like that lamp.
This is my comment entry, and this is my blogged entry, and now I win…..right????
[…] This USB Drink Cooler has a very interesting story of being autographed by John Chow and then passed off to several other people in blog/web competitions and giveaways. Now it is up for grabs yet again at the Everybody Go To blog. Of course this time the giveaway include this cool looking USB lamp. How do you enter? Just head over to the blog and make a comment. Pretty easy, eh? […]
Looks like the USB Cooler is the latest online “white elephant” and is starting its “world tour” again. This time accompanied by new side kick, USB “show me the lighted path” Tech lamp!
Please pick me, so that it can come to the far east to complete its world tour!
I want in. Nice contest. Stop by and check out my Jet Train Contest!
I changed my blog name tonight so I posted it again on my new blog name.
Oh I am totally in! USB devices rule!
[…] The USB cooler started life in John Chow’s blog contest and travelled across rivers and pastures to John Cow’s good graces where it eventually packed it’s things and shipped off to Everybody Go To. […]
That is great!
Count me in!
I also posted this in my blog: Here
cross your fingers, you never know.
[…] The USB cooler was from John Chow’s contest. It was won by John Cow, and he then again put it up for a contest. It was then won by Ali of Everybody Go To and again, he put it up for his contest. […]
If I won that I would never put it up for a giveaway. I would have a nice cool drink and my eyes would stop hurting from the poor lighting near my computer. I want to win!!

I’m not saying this should influence the judges in any way, but if I win the exciting can cooler, I’ll offer it up again so that it can continue it’s exciting journey…

[…] I received quite a few comments on the blog contest post, but not as many as I was expecting - given that I added something extra in the contest. Anyway, I wrote down everyone’s name on a piece of paper {twice or thrice depending on number of entries}, cut them up into strips, mixed the pile of strips up, called my 5 year old son over to pick a name, I looked the other way and he picked up Jonathan Franzone. […]
Damn it I missed the contest.
