XCLAMATIONS!
Xpress Yourself
in Our Caption Contest
If you have a yen to Xercise your funny bone, here’s
your opportunity. Starting with this issue, we invite
readers to step up to a verbal challenge and submit
an engineering- or technology-related caption for a
strange, humorous or otherwise evocative illustration,
cartoon or photograph. Here, for example, the Dali-like
image of people and animals rubbernecking out of their
castle windows might inspire a caption like “Maybe
management took the advice to move engineers out of
their tech silos a bit too literally.”
Send your entries to xcell@xilinx.com. Include your
name, job title, company affiliation and location, and a
statement acknowledging that “I have read and agree to the
full official rules located at www.xilinx.com/xcellcontest.”
After due deliberation, we will print the submissions
we like the best in the next issue of Xcell Journal and
award the winner the new Xilinx ® SP601 Evaluation
Kit, our entry-level development environment for evaluating
the Spartan ® -6 family of FPGAs (Approximate
retail value: $295; see http://www.xilinx.com/sp601). Two
runners-up will gain notoriety, fame and a cool, Xilinxbranded
gift from our SWAG closet.
The deadline for submitting entries is December 11.
So, get writing!
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. You must be 18 or older and a resident of the
fifty United States, the District of Columbia, or Canada (excluding Quebec)
to enter. Entries must be entirely original and must be received by 5:00 pm
Pacific Time (PT) on December 11, 2009. Official rules available online at
