We have a winner!

Aaron Brazell, of Technosailor, is the winner of the Qumana Ski or Surf Ultimate Vacation Contest.

The Qumana contest was a simple one - simply write at least 20 posts with Qumana, then blog about your "blogging landscape". Simply, what makes you a more productive blogger?

Choosing a winner for the contest was not an easy task. There were some really great entries. But, in the end, Aaron's came out on top. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest, and Congratulations to Aaron!

Aaron's qualifying post talked about his journey as a blogger. His start at Ensight, where he really didn't 'get' blogging quite yet, to his start of Technosailor - as something just to pass the time - and its growth as he covered the 2004 U.S. elections. It took a while, but Aaron's journey to blogging was more about finding himself, and his desire to connect, then about any technology or defined aim.

In Aaron's own words:

"You see, blogging is all about relationships. No man is an island."

Aaron's story was a powerful one - both of a journey, and finally of what it takes to support him as a full-fledged blogger.

Aaron is now a vital part of b5media, as a tech guru, writer, and editor for the Sports channel. He's also an active consultant and fledgling author for upcoming book "You Can Blog." Phew, I guess Aaron could really use the vacation!

So, as winner of this contest, what does Aaron get?

We're all about giving bloggers choices here at Qumana, so we have two options: 5 days in Whistler, BC or 7 days in Mazatlan, Mexico. And it's a prize for two, so Aaron gets to bring the guest

So, Aaron, where do you want to go? And don't forget to take some pictures!
