I just presented professional masher-upper Jeff Marshall a new black MacBook, sponsored by Mashery, for his second-place finish in the Mashup Camp best mashup contest.
Actually, he tied for first, and in a nail-biting tie breaker WeatherBonk ended up with the grand prize. But we loved Jeff's completely politically incorrect innovation in the Captcha business - HotCaptcha - and evidently a lot of other people did too.
So enjoy the new laptop, Jeff - can't wait to see what you build with it next!
Oren,

Oren, thanks again for sponsoring the contest. I really appreciate it. I had a blast at the camp, and especially the speed geeking demos.
I've already picked up Parallels Desktop for the laptop and have Windows and Ubuntu running in virtual machines so I can do web development and test on all platforms simultaneously. Goodbye Dell laptop. :)
