Here’s an excerpt of a blog post made by my dear friend Jeff Sass — a former co-worker and contributor of 2008′s 7th Son: Obsidian — at Dad-O-Matic. It’s about the #StillHere experience:

“I found out about TheColony.Discovery.com from an unexpected package that I received, and I made the short video below to document my own experiences with this clever promotion.  If you are reading this, then you can assume I survived and am #STILLHERE.  Enjoy!”

Check out Jeff’s brilliant video below … and then read his post at Dad-O-Matic. He gives the #StillHere experience a big thumb’s up, and also poses an intriguing question about kids and new forms of entertainment. Give him an appreciative shout in the comments at Dad-O-Matic!

Also, be sure to check out additional unboxing videos from two of my personal #geekcrushes: the stellarly-talented blogger/author Violet Blue and ever-awesome author Christiana Ellis (who was also an Obsidian contributor).

As someone who’s received special packages like this in the past, I’m thrilled that they’ve all enjoyed their experiences so far.

#StillHere,

–J.C.
