John Locke - Winner

Clearly, John is the happiest recipient yet.

John wins this week for being the most influential person at the company.  Influential works include An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Some Thoughts Concerning Education.  Both of which shaped modern culture and The United States itself.  Lessor known works include Some Thoughts about Rabbits and Some Additional Thoughts About Rabbits.  Those works were also substantially less influential.

At 382 years of age, John busies himself today by typing at a computer at his desk and occasionally telling people what to do, or what they are doing wrong - but in a relaxingly disarming manner.

Here's to you John!  You make being a profound influence on political philosophy look easy.

Tanya Kuzmichonok - Winner

Tanya was so excited, she couldn't sit still.  She also has a puppy on her laptop.  Who doesn't like puppies?

Tanya won because she brought cake to Coffee Time!  Sure, it was left-over cake from one of the myriad of "Birthdays" they have over in Finance. And, OK.  Finance has more "Birthday Cake" than people with birthdays.  Sure.  OK,  She probably didn't intentionally bring it to Search123.  We can accept that.  And finally, yes, she probably is blissfully unaware that Search123 even exists.  Fine.

She still brought cake.  And it counts.

This is also the first time that someone won with a title and job description that no one on the technology team even understands.  "Auditor - Corp Governance?"  What's that.  Seriously.  What does that even mean?

Well, whatever it is.  We think you're great!  Keep doing whatever it is that you do.  Auditizing or something governmental...or, perhaps "corporatey".  I don't know...  We hear you type on the keyboard just like we do, so that's cool.

Mayukh Bose -- Winner!

So Excited, his eyes are closed!

In a highly uncontested week Mayukh Bose lands the Top Spot in the Top Ramen Smackdown by getting a haircut.  He also sits at the end of a row, making it easier to hang the "Congratulations" banner.

Mayukh is always thoughtful to include the Search Team in his mass emails to the Technology Team when posting clever links.  Further, Mayukh posts "just the right amount", neither becoming stale or falling off the edge of Over Posting.

Here's to you Mayukh.  May the name "Mayukh" one day not show up as a mis-spelling in every spell-checker on the planet.

Brian Belhumeur - Winner!

Frenchman and Longest known Search123 tech-side employee, Brian Belhumeur (pronounced "bree-uhn Bell-hoo-mare") wins for relocating to the Westlake Village Office near the Search123 space.  Brian reportedly has a cheery disposition, although we can't see it through his beard.

Brian also bears a striking resemblance to a young Charles Manson (pictured, oddly, on his monitor).  We thought it appropriate to get on his "good side" - you know, just in case....  So he wins!

Way to go Brian, it takes real skill to win an award you didn't know existed just shy of a week ago.
