To celebrate the launch of Gawking in Traffic, you can win a classic example of fine interaction design - a SLINKY!!!
YEAH! I’m sure you’re excited about this.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be entered.
There’s something fantastic in the simple enthrallment of a Slinky. And the whole “Slinky walking down stairs” trick is seriously one of the coolest interactions ever!
And as cool as the iPhone is, can it walk down stairs? It most certainly cannot. Trust me, it just bounces down erratically in a hopeless fall to the cement at the bottom…
So just leave a comment (scroll past the picture) before 11:59pm on Sunday, July 20th and you will be entered into the drawing. A winner will be randomly chosen Monday, July 21st, and will thereafter be able to kick it old school with a sleek new Slinky.

For those readers in the NY area, maybe we’ll have to have a huge Slinky race down the NY Public Library stairs one day. Maybe it could be one MASSIVE giveaway! We’ll have to see about that…
