Congratulations to Sheila Meidell, winner of our 9th Day of Geekmas giveaway! She scored a copy of EA’s Brutal Legend, as well as a set of Musician’s Dice. Sheila likes music and games, so it seems only fitting that she won.

Today is our 10th Day of Geekmas, and it’s delightfully techy. Up for grabs are Drawdio and MiniPOV modules from our friends at Adafruit. The former is an electronic pencil that makes music when you draw. The latter helps you learn how to solder, program microcontrollers and make LED blinky toys. Both are made of the fabled awesome-sauce.

Use it as your message title when you email your submission to geekdad.hiptrax@gmail.com by 11:59 PM EST, and you may find yourself to be the chosen one.
