Official GabeMcG UGM Acceptance Speech

Ladies and Gentlemen, geeks and nerds across the globe. I come to you today brimming with excitement, and drunk on the power of the Ultimate Gaming Machine, which I am thrilled to announce at long last I can call my own!

Leo announced his plans to build and give-away the Ultimate Gaming Machine almost a year and a half ago. Every step of the way since then the TWiT community has helped the project take shape. From selecting components to troubleshooting bsod's, from lusting over its performance to picking me as its winner. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who helped make my this contest possible.

While UGM is undeniably a community achievement; without the talent, dedication, and passion of one person in particular it definitely would not be what it is today, and probably would have never have happened at all. Colleen Kelly is the one person above all others who made UGM a reality. Her hard work, literally her blood, sweat and tears crafted this work of art that I most graciously accept. She is the one who sifted through hundreds of contest entries to find the ten finalists, and thanks to her persistence the competition was not abandoned. I only hope I can prove to be a worthy recipient of such heroic efforts. Thank you Colleen.

Of course it is the vision and leadership of our Chief TWiT Leo Laporte that gave Colleen the direction to create this masterpiece of modern technology.Thank you Leo for turning this dream into a reality.

Thanks to Ryan Shrout for lending his technical expertise, and an occasionaly nudging Leo when it looked like the contest was starting to drag on.

I'd also like to thank the entire TWiT Community. From the very beginning, I wanted this campaign to be a tongue-in-cheek jab at politics. I think most of you got that, and appreciated it as a fun and different way to participate in a contest; thank you to those folks for your support.

I realize that some of you did not enjoy my approach. I would like to thank my detractors for keeping me honest, and putting up with me when I got too excited, or started to pandered too much. I apologize if I annoyed or offended anyone along the way, I hope there are no hard feelings.

Without those who voted for me, I would be congratulating one of the other finalists right now, Syd, Meghan, Nmerichi, Ryan, Alana, Cameron, Jared, and Ken all had outstanding entries. Cameron 's iPhone app kept me sweating throughout the voting period.

Thanks to my family for voting for me, and my Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and everyone at ATOT for doing so as well. I could not have done it without you!

As for my campaign site, I plan to keep it online and update it with my adventures in Ultimate Gaming, and to track my progress on fulfilling my campaign promises, so keep checking back at http://ugm.gabmcg.com, and thanks again!

The personal loans suppose to be important for guys, which want to ground their own company. By the way, that's not hard to receive a financial loan.
