Looks like they are doing the matching buttons from 07 again. I thought I would point this out for anyone that wanted to/was capable of making a database to help people. I remember a large pad of paper from 07 being filled with numbers and cell phone numbers. It would be cool if we were prepared ahead of time, maybe a mobile accessible site.
Button Matching Attendee Contest
Pick up a button at the NVIDIA booth, find your match on the show floor and return to NVIDIA’s booth to spin the wheel and win a prize. Both winners must be present to win.

If done right this would ensure nearly 100% matching. nVidia might get a little pissed. But, we're geeks, do they not expect us to take an over-the-top approach to problem solving?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Damned you Nvidia! I still have my button from 2007!

I posted my number in a thread on this very forum. MAGIC!
(Actually, the buttons didn't bother me, it was the appliance-sized cardboard signs with nVidia numbers on them that bothered me.)
if he is reading this, 'thanks dude!'
the 'teh' is silent: eljay ~ * ~ twitter ~ * ~ ravelry ~ * ~ last.fm
Or you can just use your number as the hash tag then when someone searches for theirs it only pulls up one.
This is why RedHalo is smarter than you all.
THIS.
Also, CHECK YOUR @ messages! Someone replying to you doesn't do any good if you don't check for mentions of your name. I check mine regularly bc there are lots of PAXers following me that I'm not return following.

You know what's gonna be funny? If Nvidia wasn't prepared for nerds to take advantage of technological trends, and they have to dish out like a bajillion cards.
If they were smart they would make the wheel in their favor. Give out mostly t-shirts and small ends, with a slim slice of the wheel for specials. Then again. There is a bar here locally that lets you spin the wheel for money on your birthday, with 1 tiny sliver for 100, and I saw it spun 4 out of 5 on one night... So you never are truely safe.
Would love to see a giant white board put up in the Queue room for people to write their Nvidia# and cell on. People are in there waiting for everything. Real easy place to check and write down your info when you get a chance.
Except that maybe 1% of the button handed out actually have a match.
Hmm... So your saying I should bring my counterfeiting equipment and a button maker? :winky:
I never got one in '07 but what with Twitter and all, I might have to grab one.
anyone else have my matching number?
if so. please call: (830) 554-9455
THANKS!
I'm going to put a sign on my wheelchair and hope someone sees it.
Yeah, like redhalo suggested, posting it on Twitter with hashtag and once on here.
I remember last year someone created a master-list on here...that too was a good idea.
It was the most pain in the ass kind of contest, but fun in the most nerdy-sadistic way.
