Do you know what a Looxcie is?

Do you know what a Looxcie is? Do you even know how to pronounce it? Well now I do. 

A Looxcie, pronounced Look-see, is a bluetooth/camera that wraps around your ear just like a regular bluetooth headset. The developers wanted to create something that would allow you to video record whatever you see so that you  never miss a moment. 

By working with your smartphone, the Looxcie continuously records 4 to 5 hours of footage and allows you to save 30 second clips if you experience something that just happened, say your child's first steps or a roller coaster ride.

About three and a half weeks ago I found this thing called a Looxcie on Facebook. I saw they were having a contest and I thought, "Heck, why not? What do I have to lose?" So I entered the contest not thinking much of it or that I would ever win in a million years. 

For the contest you were asked to write a short story about a moment you wished you had on video. I sat there and thought for a moment. I figured the first time I met Samantha would be something I would want to have on camera so I wrote about that. I would hate to rub this in your face with PDA galore but it's true!

We first met on the basketball court at UCSC. I thought it was a pretty cool moment but I never thought the judges for the contest would like it as well. So I gave the contest entry my information along with the story and forgot about it.

Well, about 10 days later I get an email from a lady named Kimberly. She tells me I have won a Looxcie and that I need to respond to confirm that I am not related to anyone at the company, so I responded half skeptical and half excited. After I respond she wrote back and asked me to confirm my address and tells me that the Looxcie will be sent out to me on Monday and that they will post my entry on their Facebook page.

Hecka crazy! But I was so excited.

So Today, March 19th, 2011, I received the Looxcie!

The package was like "HAY!"

Well that was awesome! First time I have won a no purchase neccessary contest. I don't really have a use for this thing though. It only works with iphones and Androids thus far, so..... anyone interested?
