A few months ago I got 2nd place in the American Birding Association's Young Birder of the Year contest, which won me a $1500 Leica 8x32 Trinovid binocular along with some other great prizes. They say once you look through good optics you can never go back, and thankfully I won't have to. These binoculars are bright, crisp, relatively small and portable, durable and worth every penny I didn't have to pay! The lenses received special coatings to ensure maximum light transmission, but unfortunately I couldn't make all the flashy colors show up in these photos. You don't need to be a birder to appreciate this kind of quality.
After winning Best of Show in WA for the junior duck stamp contest, I recieved $150 in gift cards to Art Media, a fantastic Portland art supply store, and no, I didn't have much trouble figuring out what to buy. It was time for an airbrush upgrade. I purchased an Iwata HP-BCS airbrush kit. The moment I picked up my new brush I could just feel the quality, and after testing it I'm positive it will open up new doors in my artistic pursuits.

Come on, who needs a back lit keyboard? I mean, if you don't know how to type without looking you need to go back to the basics. The only thing from that computer that I would even start to want would be the hard drive...
