Manufacturer-for-the-masses Ponoko's got sheet goods (felt, leather, acrylic, bamboo, plywood, etc.) and electronics company SparkFun's got gizmos (buttons, switches, Arduino boards, diodes, LEDs, etc.). If you can come up with an idea for a product design that uses both services, then you're eligible to enter their design competition, held in conjunction with GeekDad.
Sounds cool, doesn't it? Unfortunately that's all we can say about it--the GeekDad post neglects to mention what their exact involvement in the competition is (does it need to be a GeekDad-themed project?) or even what the prizes are! Still, the link is here, in case they wise up and revise the post with a more clear explanation.

Hey ya,
Thanks for letting everyone know!!
To clarify, here's excerpts from the original post ...
About GeekDad involvement:
"A Top 10 will be chosen by a panel of judges from Geekdad and Ponoko"
About prizes:
"Whatever your thinking is, submit your best idea for a product to be made using Ponoko and electronics from SparkFun and you could get it made for free."
I hope this helps :-)
