The votes for the Crunchies are in. But there were so many, 350,000, that we needed some extra help counting them. In the video above, Mike explains the voting procedures and reveals who we hired to count the votes to make sure nothing goes wrong. These guys are the best at what they do. (Okay, maybe the second best after this guy, but they were all we could afford).
All the votes are counted. We won’t announce the winners until the award ceremony on Friday night at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco. We have some great entertainment lined up, including more videos, the Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra, the Richter Scales and a few more special guests. The after-party will be at City Hall, with DJ ZTrip, a game room, a photo gallery, and some gadget giveaways. There are still a few tickets left.
Mobile Phone Orchestra sounds awesome.
Great entries. My congrats to the winners up front
Peter, I tried to sign-up at Smibs.com, and got an error screen when I clicked on the sign-up for free button.
Looks like a server configuration issue.
Looks like a SSL certificate error.
Adrian, Thanks for letting me know. We are in beta and are just adding SSL support. We’ll have this fixed by the end of the day. In the meantime you can sign up by clicking the “add an exception” link on the message that comes up when you go to the signup page.

Have you considered running for Governor of Florida?
Screw Florida, Illinois seems to be having quite the debate about who’s next…
Gee, that Arrington/Hendricksen bellowing thing never gets old, does it?
Nope.
Loving Mike’s shadows under the eyes. Very realistic!
– not noticed them before
I don’t understand why you had to ‘count’ the votes – did you have to do it by hand?
OK – I’m a moron. I should have watched the video before posting above.
Wow, I can’t wait to see the video content *at* the Crunchies. I have my suspicions around what it will be like and I’m stoked.
Not using a relational data base?
You could count 350,000 votes in no time on this technology from the eighties.
Sarah Austin Marie …whatever. Another narcissistic 20 something year old, too young to realize she’s not making any meaning impact…other than to her own already inflated ego; which, again, is only meaningful for her and her lemming B squad cheerleaders. Enough already.
