• "Show Us Your Blendables" contest extended and NEW July CTP

  We wanted to give everyone in the community a little more time in the kitchen to cook up some new samples.  We have extended the deadline for the "Show Us Your Blendables" contest to October 1, 2007. We are burning the midnight oil to bring our first mix into the market and you can be confident that it is coming soon.  The existing JulyCTP was set to expire on 10/1/07.  While we fully expect to have a shipping product by that date we did not want our customers to worry about a potential timebomb on 10/1/07.  The July CTP that is now posted (even though it says posted on 4/24/07) has an updated expiration date of 11/1/07. You can find the updated JulyCTP here: http://blendables.com/files/folders/ctp_download/entry20.aspx Thank you for all the great feedback in the forums and for your patience as we work at adding just the right spices before serving up our first mix. - Kurt Posted Aug 31 2007, 05:32 PM by kurt.brockett with no comments Filed under: Essentials

• Calling all Chefs - Show us your blendables and win.

  As we head into the final stretch before shipping, the blendables team would love to see what the community has been cooking up with the Essentials mix.   So what's the best way to get the community involved? Simple, give away free stuff.  This isn't just any free stuff but the prizes include a Xbox360 Elite, $100 Gift Card to Best Buy and plenty of free licences for our top chefs. The samples will be judged on 4 very scientific criteria Creativity Real World Application Design Asthetic Awesomeness (<- my favorite). So you've got about a month to whip us up something tasty.  The deadline for submission is September 3, 2007 at 12AM.
