**** CLOSED, WINNER = David ****
I was one of the lucky guys who won a price during the Top Bloggers award “ceremony”. Veeam was so kind enough to provide two of the exact same items so that every blogger who won a price could also give away a price to their readers. I am not going to make it more difficult than it needs to be. Leave a comment before Friday the 18th of April, make sure use your real email address in the form, and I will let my daughter pick a random winner on Saturday morning. I will update this blog post and inform the winner.
What can you win? (Funny, I was at the point of buying one of these myself as I always run out of battery on my phone and iPad during all-day events!)
Jackery Giant
– Large power capacity with 2.1A output
– The world’s most powerful external rechargeable battery
– 2.1A fast charging
– Size, style and speed make this most powerful external rechargeable battery to-dateThis large capacity portable external battery has dual output ports and 10,400mAh for lengthening mobile device battery life up to 500% for smart phones. Its compact size and stylish design has three LED charge status indicators with a two LED flashlight for up to 700 hours of illumination.

Probably the one thing that will keep my iPhone 5 alive until the 6 comes out – nothing like watching your battery percentage from from 43% to 4% in the span of 5 minutes π
Its great to read you always Duncan Cheers π
I’m in.. and thanks for your help yesterday….
Always enjoy reading your blog Duncan. All you guys inspire me to go for a certification in VMware. Currently studying for VCP and will eventually try going for a VCDX!

This is one of my favoritest site
What a surprise!
Comments, all the comments!
I’ve followed your blog for quite some time now and it’s a great resource. Keep up the good work Duncan!
Awesome, would help for those long walks in the Lake District!
Well deserved 1st place!
Awesome work! Keep it up!
Coolio!
Love you, love your show
Thank you.
ah…charger good as android device runs out of juice quite often
love your articles and keep up the good work.
Recently discovered your blog. Great content. Keep it up.
Really like you blog!
No vExpert in 2014 this would be a nice consolation price
I would like to have one for my long trip with kids. It will keep their iPad up and running for long time =)
That is awesome! π
Hey Duncan, great work you are doing. In training class and the instructor has mentioned your work and website about 50 times throughout the training. Class is vSphere 5.x Design workshop.
Great blog π
That’s cool. Now they just need to make a wireless version of the battery π
Good deal! Thanks for everything here man
Cool Stuff! Charge and GO!!!!!
Pick ME, Pick ME, Pick ME! Seriously though, thanks for your awesome blog and information helping all us VMware admins and architects!
I’d love you to pick me. Discovered your blog about 18 months ago, and it’s still regualr reading for me even though I’ve moved into more of a management role than a technical one.
As for why you should pick me, I have an autistic son who’s only real release is his iPad. external batteries are essential when we go camping as we need something to recharge the tablet while he sleeps.
Good on you to be giving this swag away… and for making it so easy that anyone can enter.
My phone would last longer if there wasn’t so much community content on the net.
Congrats on being number 1 again. See you at VMworld.
Unicorns and flowers!
Nice. Brazil is comming
Hopefully being on the other side of the world doesn’t preclude me π
You won! Was a difficult process for my daughter but she randomly picked you π
Congrats, David.
What a pleasant surprise. Thanks very much Duncan, Duncan’s daughter and of course Veeam.
Worth a try, hey kiddo o/
I like my chances here…
Thanks for the chance! I’ve heard great things about the Jackery!
I’d love to try it.
I’m just getting started in the world of VDI. Are there any good forums? I haven’t found much by googling. (We’re running VMware Horizon View with HP t510 ThinPro clients)
This is a comment.
Congrats on the award! Your daughter has an awesome dad!
The blog is so good. I would like to get it…

A portable charger is something I’ve been looking for a few months now. I will be attending a festival (Tomorrowland) this summer and it feels like a portable charger is a “must have”. If I’m not winning I might buy myself a Jackery Giant :-). Thx for a great blog!
Sure are a lot of comments here- I’ll throw my hat in the ring!
Thanks for a fantastic place for us to congregate!
Ok! I’m in, where I should sign?
Me Me Me
