Congrats to Chris, the winner of our contest for the DIY Terminator Sunglasses. Keep an eye out next week for a prize that’ll actually involve some work this time around

Just a quick heads up that the contest for our DIY Terminator sunglasses ends Friday! We have another great contest coming up next week…

Here’s a teaser:

Remember! Contest! Enter!

Not all of us have five minutes to kill on a DIY project. Or, perhaps you don’t own the correct tools or materials needed for our previous project. That’s why we’re giving away these hot modified aviator sunglasses to one lucky Gearfuse reader! Just leave a comment on this page with a valid name and e-mail address and tell us why you want these glasses. Best one wins the exact pair of Arnie-shades you see above.

The contest ends next Friday and I can only mail these to someone in the United States of America. Get cracking!

Finally, our T-Mobile contest has come to an end. Thanks to everyone for entering and big thanks to T-Mobile and SkinIt.com for providing us with some stuff to give away. After wading through all the comments you people left, we decided that Chelsea should get it because she actually has a Sidekick 2008 in hand to put it on. We’ll have another contest next week, so be sure to stay tuned if you want to win big. And next week’s prize will be something previously featured here on Gearfuse for sure….

Just a quick reminder that our contest ends Friday. You can win a custom Sidekick 2008 case just by leaving a comment with a valid name and e-mail address.

It’s another exciting installment of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? except in this episode we’re going to get schooled by 12-year old Elizabeth Rintels on techniques for going green. The By Kids For Kids “Going Green Challenge” is a contest that enables the youth to showcase their concerns and awareness of our dieing planet. It also shows how not every eco-friendly idea has to be transportation related.

And Elizabeth did just that, displaying her idea of the “Water Watcher,” a device that you hook onto your shower faucet which signals a red light and sounds a beep every time a half-gallon of water is used. Want to play with water? Get the Waterboard. Other than that, be wary of the water you waste every time you flush. Elizabeth ended up winning the $10,000 dollar cash prize and quite possibly saved the planet from turning into a barren wasteland. Or at least prolonged the inevitable.

The above picture shows Chris Gray’s winning truck tarp design that was selected for FREITAG’s Design-A-Truck Contest. Here’s one 18-wheeler that won’t settle for any gas station that isn’t the least bit artsy. Having trouble making out the design? Allow me: it’s a disproportional girl on a swing in sexy striped stockings. I think it won because of the stockings. The runners up were even more unsavory, one being a matrix rip off and the other being a paper-cut out collage you could’ve made in MS Paint. Once the winner’s design roams the countryside for the next 5 years on this truck as it secures its status in pop culture, the art will be made into a special limited edition collection of FREITAG bags.

It’s all about design. Now, as for some of the other works shown in the top 30, there were a few that stuck out that would’ve suited the look of a truck better but were not so much the look FREITAG was going for. Hit the jump to check out some of the shown 30 that attracted us: (more…)

Just a quick heads up to check in and make sure you readers have seen our ongoing T-Mobile contest!

Alright, folks. If you plan on getting a T-Mobile Sidekick 2008 or already own one, chances are you’re aware the case can be customized to your liking. Whether it’s Sierra Nevada, Batman or your sister’s best friend, I’m sure you’ll find something unique to decorate your Sidekick with.

Anyways, we have a coupon code for a free case from Skin It. Just leave a comment on this post with your name and e-mail (make sure it’s real) telling us why you want it and we’ll pick someone on Friday. Get typin’!
