In these days of things not being what they seem, it didn't surprise me to get a call from a skeptical Jeff Battema of Seattle, Washington about 5 minutes after I emailed him to notify him he won the September iPod mini giveaway. Especially since I received an email this morning saying that I had won an iPod. Haven't we all...

Well, it's true. We do give away big prizes to our Rainstorm subscribers with no strings attached. It's our way of saying thank you for reading our news and hopefully spreading the word of Electric Rain and Swift 3D to your friends.

Jeff, your iPod's on the way. The rest of you Rainstorm Subscribers, keep your fingers crossed and you might just win our first X-Box giveaway at the end of this month.
