Do you know someone that always wins something? That person wasn’t me… until today. I won a ColorChecker Passport from Mike at OnOne Software (via Twitter!). If you’re confused about what it is or what it does, I’ll quickly explain. It’s a color chart for photographers to help them get more accurate color. Since I’m an occasional photographer, it’ll come in handy.
So how did I win a $99 chart on Twitter? It started a few weeks ago when I found out they would occasionally give out promo codes for their $20 iPhone app via Twitter. I began following them and a few days later was able to snag a code for their $2 lite version. Fast forward to today and they started giving out promo codes for the full $20 version. I wasn’t fast enough for the first batch, but luckily snagged one from the second batch.
A few minutes later, there was an announcement that they were giving away a ColorChecker Passport if you could guess a number between 1 and 812. I had no idea what it was, but who can pass up a chance to win free stuff. I picked 109 (since 9, my lucky number, seemed a little low) and the answer was 113. Close enough!
Today, I’m a winner (Thanks, Mike at OnOne Software!). Tomorrow, I’ll be going back to that guy who never wins anything.
