If you live in Los Angeles and need some tech help, I thought I’d pass along the name “Matthew Arevalo” to you.  He’s a buddy of mine that specializes in “Providing professional services to the creative community.” He’s a certified Mac guy, but can help you with all your Windows needs too, since he speaks multi-platform.

I can vouch for him as he has graciously hosted this site for the past year and a half with few hiccups, and also helped me procure some equipment I use daily to produce the JEFbot strips you see each week. Plus, he and I have hung out and had sushi and beer together, so you know he’s good people.

THE CONTEST IS OVER!
July is here and the contest is now closed! This weekend, with the help of Mombot and perhaps one of the sisterlings, I’ll be drawing ten names out of a hat for the general contest and five names for the mailing-list-peeps-only contest and report the winners of the #150 Anniversary BOTtons next week. Good luck and thanks to everybody who participated!

JEFbot has just passed 150 strips!!! To celebrate, I created a special BOTton (click on the image to the left to see a close up) with jefbot, his fighting ferret Abraxas, and his shirt emblazoned with a “150″ instead of his trusty “6″ logo. I’m only printing 150 of these special pins, 10 of which I’m giving away in the following contest:

CONTEST RULES
This one’s my easiest contest yet: all you have to do is leave a comment on any blog or comic strip during the month of June, with your valid email address in the email field (otherwise I can’t contact you should you win). You can even leave a comment on this blog post if you like. For every June comic or post you leave a comment on, I’ll put your name in the hat for the random drawing of 10 lucky winners in July. Note it’s not every comment but every post you leave a comment on, so don’t be going crazy leaving multiple comments in every single post (unless the mood strikes you), as it won’t help your chances. As you can tell from this system, many of you regular commenters are already way ahead of the game!!!

So that’s it: leave a comment with your email address in the email field of any June blog post or comic strip and you’ll automatically be entered to win a #150 Anniversary BOTton! Good luck!

MORE CHANCES TO WIN
I’m also giving away five additional BOTtons to random people on the JEFbot Mailing List. If you’re on the mailing list, you’ve already been entered. If you’re not on the mailing list, it’s not too late! Just subscribe before the end of June by clicking the following link: Assimilate me! You’ll be entered into the drawing just for being on the list! Easy peasy.
