So, I only post on Engadget when they are doing prize giveaways (it’s a thing), and because I’m only one of potentially thousands of posts, I figure, why not make it interesting. I happened to be logged into my account this past week, and I noticed an interesting trend in my posts for this year. Can you spot it? (Note, the comments are in order of newest to oldest.)
