And the winner is . . .

Paul won one of two prize draws at PodCamp over the weekend of our Housewarming!

He has been jumping up and down looking out for the postman ever since – it finally arrived today. His prize is a Moviepix HD DV Cam (pocket video camera), very appropriate as he was volunteer cameraman for parts of the conference.

As he is increasingly involved in editing and posting video to YouTube for Tyco Electronics, it is also a timely addition to his ‘toolkit’ (in other words, another great techie toy!).

A definite highlight (and proud moment) of the last week was when Paul opened the door to our UPS mailbox and found a card indicating that there was something too big to fit and to ask at the desk.

There he was, all bundled up in coat and hat, jumping up and down saying ‘It’s my prize! It’s my prize!’

Just as we left the UK he had discovered that he was one of a team awarded Tyco’s annual Impact Innovation Award. I had temporarily forgotten that the corporate trophy was on its way to him but, sure enough, the cardboard gave way to a smart black box, which gave way to glass and steel . . . and a very nice note from Tyco Electronics CEO Tom Lynch! Appreciation is always welcome.
