Did you get a copy of the book? Show us and get a patch!

We have a new feature here at Instructables: the virtual patch! We'll be giving these away for contests in the future. They'll appear on your "You" page like in the picture below.

The first one we're giving away is a book patch for everyone who's bought or won a copy of The Best of Instructables, Volume 1. All you have to do is show a picture of yourself holding the book and you'll get one! Putting your face in the picture is optional for all of you concerned about your privacy.

woah predator mask project?
Honus says: Jun 13, 2009. 8:41 AM
The mask is only a small part-


I've already made a lot of changes to the mechanism and electronics shown here. I'm trying to get it all finished before Halloween.

Honus says: Jun 11, 2009. 4:55 PM
Good one- LOL! No I'm just a slacker... I'm actually working on so many things right now (six projects in various stages of completion) that other things keep getting bumped to the top of my list and I just simply forgot about it. I even wrote myself reminder notes- and I just happened to pull several of them out of my pants pocket last night so I figured I'd better do it before the process repeated itself. :P
Rotten194 says: Jun 20, 2009. 4:28 PM

That's a really bad attempt.
Doctor What says: Feb 2, 2010. 12:25 PM
 What are you talking about?  He is clearly a purchaser of the book! 

*sarcasm*
fungus amungus (author) says: Jan 17, 2010. 2:07 PM
A real picture of you really holding the book.

fungus amungus (author) says: Jul 1, 2009. 10:32 AM
We already know the book looks great, but where are you?
baystreetbully says: Jul 1, 2009. 1:56 PM
there was nobody to take the picture with me in it
Goodhart says: Feb 1, 2010. 9:15 PM
Find a mirror,  face the mirror and point the camera at yourself, while holding the book in the other hand....using the mirror, you should be able to view the LCD screen of the camera and then stap a good one the first (or second) time :-) 
Hiyadudez says: Aug 18, 2009. 10:15 AM
When do i get my badge thing?

Wow, you're a big black oval? Sorry, but that photo's weak. Next time, no tweaking the image.
DJ Radio says: Oct 2, 2009. 5:40 PM
So you want people to violate their privacy in the name of a patch....

Im jk. =P
Lithium Rain says: Aug 19, 2009. 6:20 PM

fungus amungus (author) says: May 1, 2009. 10:45 AM
You like your books raw? I find that a quick stir fry and some curry makes it much better.
TyMan210 says: May 18, 2009. 5:36 PM
I prefer mine slow roasted with salt, pepper, dill and a tiny hint of ginger.
Warlrosity says: Jul 11, 2009. 4:56 AM
I like mine deep fried and salted!
lemonkey says: Jul 2, 2009. 10:08 PM

Is this good enough???

fungus amungus (author) says: Jun 10, 2009. 4:29 PM
Not unless you're a cutting mat. Which would be awesome since you'd be self-healing.
Chromatica says: Jun 10, 2009. 4:47 PM
lol Alright ill take a different one
Chromatica says: Jun 10, 2009. 7:21 PM
Al right I took one with my grandpa holding it since i don't have a tripod and someone had to the camera and the book
Chromatica says: Jun 10, 2009. 7:22 PM

fungus amungus (author) says: Jun 10, 2009. 4:28 PM
Now! Sorry about the delay, this must've gotten lost among my comments.
Lithium Rain says: May 17, 2009. 12:34 PM
Hey, how'd you get a signed one?!
NachoMahma says: May 17, 2009. 1:09 PM
. I thought they were all signed.
Lithium Rain says: May 17, 2009. 1:17 PM
No. :'(
NachoMahma says: May 17, 2009. 1:48 PM
. hmmmm Mine is.
Lithium Rain says: May 17, 2009. 9:00 PM
Yeah, well, I can go without sleep for 20 consecutive hours!

Braggart. :P
Kryptonite says: Jul 18, 2009. 6:33 AM
I can go with sleep for 20 consecutive hours! No but seriously I did 36 hours without sleep, it burns so bad...
182515 says: Feb 1, 2010. 7:46 PM
I have went two days without sleep. 24 hours gaming and 24 making stuff out of knex.
182515 says: Feb 1, 2010. 7:48 PM
I slept for the next day and a half after that, i was totally zoned out by the end of it.
NachoMahma says: May 18, 2009. 1:58 AM
. I have gone as much as 20 minutes without taking a nap!

. Yeah :P Really nothing to brag about. It was just one of those in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time bits of good luck.
Kiteman says: May 17, 2009. 2:26 PM
Mine wasn't, and I'm in it

:-(
=SMART= says: Aug 26, 2009. 9:35 AM

NachoMahma says: May 17, 2009. 2:39 PM

The Ideanator says: Aug 21, 2009. 9:30 PM
LOL!!!
target022 says: May 17, 2009. 1:48 PM
I had to pay extra for it. ;-) Just kidding, I won the last burning questions contest. It was one of the prizes.

That's what he just said. >:-D
gmjhowe says: Aug 25, 2009. 2:12 PM
Hey! Wait a honey picking minute! This is not a reply to one of my stalker comments... If your stalking me, and im stalking you, are we walking around in circles?
Lithium Rain says: Aug 25, 2009. 9:37 PM
No, see, I'm stalking Kiteman and Kelsey, and you and Koolaid are stalking me, and Bobby is stalking you and me and Kiteman AND Kelsey all at the same time.
gmjhowe says: Aug 26, 2009. 3:29 AM
So, shall we all agree to get bobby? (who is bobby..)
Lithium Rain says: Aug 26, 2009. 8:01 AM
Sounds good to me (Bobby's the fish, goosy!).
gmjhowe says: Aug 26, 2009. 8:58 AM
I think we are yet to be introduced..
Lithium Rain says: Aug 26, 2009. 11:05 AM
You've known him forever, stop pretending already, you look silly...
