Yeah, but at the same time the goal was to raise the profile.
Jeremy @ Ensight says:
And that’s obviosly happened.
Nathan says:
That contest prize is phenominal!
Jeremy @ Ensight says:
The fact that I’m getting cash, and starting a new venture (sshhhh, announcement later today) is all just incredibly yummy gravy.

Nathan says:
Is the Amazon gift certificate in Canadian or American?
Jeremy @ Ensight says:
American.
