  1. First and Only Time Wins for Louisiana Woman

    June 29, 2009  | Comments (9)

    “You could have knocked me over with a feather,” Marci Hancock of Denham Springs, Louisiana, says, when she received an email from David Boland informing her she won $1,000 in the Friday, June 5, drawing.

    She had joined on Wednesday, June 1, and made her first and only submission on that day.

    “It was crazy.  I came home from vacation and found this email saying I had won. I had hardly paid any attention to the fact that AdJack was a sweepstake.”

    Marci is one of those people who simply enjoys a great commercial.  “I came to AdJack through a back door,” she says.  “A friend sent me a link to a site called Family Hack that talked about how to retrieve something from a drain without using a wrench, so you know how you follow a couple of links every now and then and wind up someplace? Well, this Family Hack guy said something about AdJack on his site, so I took a look.  I love good commercials.

    “The first one I watched, about the girl thinking her boyfriend’s iPod was a pregnancy test—I practically rolled on the floor on that one.”

    So she registered, watched four more commercials, made one submission without even so much as… more

  2. “I Never Thought I’d Win a Thousand Dollars”

    June 21, 2009  | Comments (6)

    It was about 5:40 p.m. ET on Friday, June 12 and Daryl Stevens realized he hadn’t watched any commercials that week.  So he watched his fave five, hit the submit button at 5:44, and decided to stick around to watch the drawing video. 

    At 6:00 p.m. the screen cleared and, shortly after members were invited to submit a number to compose the winning series, the magic numbers began to appear.  13, 16, 14, 4, 22, and the final AdJack bonus, 3.

    “I glanced at it, I looked at it, I really didn’t believe it,” Daryl says.  “I replayed the video, and there they were again, the winning numbers.  My numbers. 4, 22, 13, 6, 16 and 3.  I was marking them out, crossing them out, replaying the video. I couldn’t believe it.  I was stunned for about five minutes.  So then I said to myself, ‘Okay, if they send me something that says I won, then I’ll believe it.’ And even when I got David Boland’s email, I still really just couldn’t believe it.”

    Who would?  He’d only discovered AdJack in the last week of May, and this was his third week to play.

    “I think I found AdJack by accident,” he says.  “I might have been Googling… more

  3. Why You’re Buying Round Sunglasses

    June 11, 2009  | Comments (5)

    This may not strike you as profound, but today’s New York Times offers an interesting story on why round sunglasses are turning up everywhere this summer, from the top fashion houses to big box bargain stores.  Did the Fashion God blow a big whistle and shout, “OK, everybody, make round sunglasses for summer, 2009!”?

    Not quite, but close.

    The NYTs story jumps from dot to dot, tracing the possible line to why and how fashion sunglass designers happened to all reach the same place at the same time.  Writer Eric Wilson says it’s because of several events in 2007 and 2008.

    Influential eyewear designer Selima Salaun happened to be at the Venice Biennali art fair two years ago when West African photographer Malick Sidibé was honored for his 1950s and ‘60s black and white portraits of folks, many of whom were wearing sunglasses.  Other prominent designers were there too, and soon afterward, Sidibé began to ascend… more
