Now is a most excellent time to take a look at the competition section on the Atomic site.

Goto – homepage – lookdown and right – bingo.

Look at em all! Really good ones, too. We added a few this week to celebrate the launch of the new Culture Shock section in Atomic, so, scoop up DVDs, movie tickets and board games.

Plus, here’s a bit of a heads up for a comp we’re announcing in the next issue of Atomic, a very very exciting comp! We’re printing a new range of Atomic t-shirts, and we are running a comp for the cleverest, wittiest, funniest slogan to go on them!

The winning entry will get a free shirt, plus the happy thought that Atomicans are wearing your brilliance!

Email your entry to Atomic Shirts and show us how, in a word, phrase, or perhaps acronym, what sums up Atomic so perfectly that it deserves to be on the official t-shirt!

Finally, it gives us enormous pleasure to announce that at the annual Consensus IT Awards Atomic’s Craig Simms won Best Technical Writer! We’re double-chuffed to see PC Authority’s Nick Ross pick up ‘Best Investigative’ writer. Onya boys.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Atomic’s designer and pet wombat Bill Chan yesterday won Employee of the Year at the Company Christmas picnic.

We’re JUST TOO GOOD!

Hooray!

Ben
