Hi friends!

I'm back from Palm Springs and my very first Coachella courtesy of JBL.

I got to kick it in an RV with Scoble, Chris Voss, Sam Levin, and Thomas Hawk.

It was GREAT!!! Talk about an eclectic group of insanely, insanely smart people just having an authentic experience. No one pitched anything, no one said things "just to sound smart." We commented on the state of tech, our favorite apps & products, and the rest was groovy, man.

While we were there, we were all hooked up with this INNSSAAANNNEEEE swag bag courtesy of JBL, Seagate, and GoPro. Instead of keeping all the goodies for myself, I thought it would be better to repay back some karma and give it to you guys.

Due to the INCREDIBLE amount of comments received though (totally badass btw, and I'm going to see if any of these brands want to chip in some more), I decided to turn the give away into a contest. Instead of giving it to the "saddest" story though (aka my sister has cancer and I want to film blah blah blah. Super sorry she has cancer, but we're all going to die. How about we make a conscious effort though to REALLY START TO LIVE!!!), I am going to celebrate passion and find a compelling story truly "worthy" of the prizes.

<tangent> I'm FASCINATED right now with this concept of value. I'm going to break it down in the formal announcement, but it's really rad how these products to the companies have very little cost -put in the right hands though, they can be LIFE CHANGING!!! More on that in a bit ... </tangent>

So take a look at what will be up for grabs below. Get ready to show me whatchoo got, nerderinos!!!!
