APOD book and DVD: we have our winners!

I am pleased to announce that we have our winners of the APOD book and Ambient Space DVD giveaway! The random numbers chosen were 124 and 102 (excluding my own first post on the bulletin board thread), and so the winners are badactor and sderic, respectively.

The book and DVD have been mailed out, so you two should receive your prize shortly.

As for everyone else, don’t despair: I have lots of other stuff (Mrs. BA wants to get rid of things before we move) so I’ll have more contests soon. Probably next week, so Stay Tuned!

Oh- Bob Nemiroff, one of the authors of the APOD book, told me it is available at Amazon for $8.99, so for those of you who didn’t win, you can still get it relatively cheaply (full disclosure– if you buy it through that link, I make a small amount of money).

“Mrs. BA wants to get rid of things before we move…”

HA! I knew it!

Giveaways, no doubt, followed by the first Bad Astronomy Garage Sale (acronym left as an exercise for the reader).

The telescope would be nice, as I’m assuming you have one…I mean, what kind of Bad Astronomer are you without a telescope? I just wish I’d caught on what the giveaway was earlier…

I wished the BAGS would pay for international shipping…

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters

"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
