A big thank you to everyone who entered our contest with their completed Sudoku puzzle from last week! It was a lot of fun to see all the answers, and an overwhelming number of you got the phrase correct.
So what was the correct answer, you ask? Well, that’s an interesting one–we initially had just one correct unscrambled phrase, but soon realized that there were actually TWO solutions to the puzzle. To wit:
*Important Event:* Saturday, February 7 was Don’s 60th birthday!
*Correct Answers:*
MAYER IS 60
I’M 60 YEARS
Since we didn’t say that you __couldn’t__ use an apostrophe (oooh, that would have been evil), we entered all of you who had either answer correct into the contest drawing.
Congratulations to Fred L. who has won a set of Chill Pill mobile speakers and USB adapter! Thanks to everyone for playing!

P.S. We thought it was also fitting to announce the winner today–Hapy’s birthday!
_Dear Friends,_
It’s Kali writing for Don this week, who is on week #2 of his African Safari. Things are (literally) quiet in the office here, because Ed is also on a vacation of sorts, along with three dogs. Ed is holding down the fort at Don’s house, so hopefully he is also getting in some nice relaxation time as well as some quality time on the slopes.
There is a lot going on here, though! Last week, our Sudoku challenge gave the clue of “Important Event” and out of all of our entries, we have picked a winner! Read more about that below. Today is also Friday the 13th, and per tradition, we have a “phobia” theme. I polled our Small Doggers and had them submit their biggest fears for all to see (thankfully, public humiliation on a national scale wasn’t one of them…).
In product-related news, we’re featuring specials on Apple software, which includes instant rebates on Final Cut Studio (save $200!), AppleCare and iLife, and rebates on iWork and MobileMe. For a limited time, we also have refurbished and used MacBooks between $729.99 – $929.99, new MacBooks from $949.99 and more previous-generation Apple products on the way (more on that next week). (Apologies for the sales-pitch, but we’re pretty excited about big sales on Apple stuff!)
If you’re on Facebook, become a Fan of Small Dog (and potentially win some fun prizes) by “clicking here.”:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Small-Dog-Electronics/18904017006
If you’re not on Facebook, consider signing up (whether you become a fan of Small Dog or not.) Facebook is “an online directory that connects people through social networks.” I personally enjoy using Facebook to keep in touch with far-flung friends, colleagues, and relatives. Sometimes it’s more fun to reach out on Facebook than via
email or IM.

Hope you join us!
Valentine’s Day seems to conjure up very strong emotions–you either love it or hate it. Either way, you’ll need a soundtrack.
We’ve channeled our emotional sides to bring you some iTunes iMixes of love and loathing (“interestingly enough, so did NPR, even naming their playlist similarly!”:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100411956).
If you’d like to check out what Small Dog employees need to get them going, “click here to view our entire playlist.”:http://www.smalldog.com/imix The link to purchase our iMix will be featured there shortly!

I’m hoping to get some more snow over the next week so that we can show off some great winter conditions next weekend when my parents come up.
Next week, we’ll have more news, specials and other fun things for you. Thanks for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!
Your Kibbles & Bytes team,
