After being woken up by call from Michael, I noticed a very large box sitting in my office.  Since I wasn't expecting any shipment, I scanned with my bomb detector (Google search on the shipping address and a few intelligent shakes) before opening it up carefully with my box opener (aka toe-nail clipper).

It turned out to be a gift from MSN Search team to MSN Search Champs, a 30G Creative Nomad MP3 player.  Very nice.  Since I am too much of a cheapskate to buy an iPod, this will do very nice.  Thanks guys!  Very much appreciated.

Update:

Urgh.  Nomad controls and UI sucks prime time, enough to make me want to bitchslap Creative engineers.  I love the 30G of space but this is like covering chocolate with torns.
