Explicitly and without apology a marketing vehicle MaryMaryQuiteContrary

Friday Aug 20, 2004



It's Friday, people. And you know what that means...

This week's Friday Free Stuff* is:
  1. Dedicated to Pete, who paid it forward on the Free Stuff I offered him. Pete, may the good karma of the universe re-visit you ten fold.
  2. Sponsored by SDN and the lovely and talented Bao who can be seen here showcasing  *one of* today's prizesbeautiful Bao with the gumball machine
  3. In honor and celebration of the men and women in Sun's IT organization who serve what must be the world's most demanding client base (from techno celebs to clueless marketing people like me) yet push the envelope of innovation every day.
Did I mention that I am on the Sun Ray at Home pilot? Did I mention that I went from an unopened box the Fed Ex guy brought me to total, authenticated network connectivity and productivity in 13 mins 31 seconds?

Oh, and did I mention that I happen to be traveling for work next week -- headed out to the home office. Typically that means I have to pack up my laptop, power cord, mouse, ethernet cord (you never know if you're going to find one there)... stuff it all in my laptop bag and hope i didn't forget anything.

Not this time.  I'm a Sun Ray girl, now. And that means my life has changed forever.

Here's a picture of me ...

... packing up my laptop for my trip next week.

Hmmmm..... I guess that means I no longer need my laptop bag....

Great minds think alike! We're giving away ....

the gumball machine beautiful Bao with the gumball machineto the person who tells me what their favorite thing about the Sun Developer Network is in the comments section of this blog entry. All you gotta do for your chance* to win* is hit the Comments link immediately below and tell me what you like about SDN. I'll choose my favorite entry on Monday and the winner gets ths fabulous package of prizes shipped FOC to their doorstep. .

Of course, it would be really nice if you joined the Sun Developer Network (which is free). And maybe even subscribed to some of the awesome newsletters available to SDN members (which are also free). But we've got a privacy policy around here, people. So I can't make your joining a condition of winning* because I'd have no way to check. So we're going with the honor system here.

See, there's something for everybody at the MaryMaryQuiteContary blog. I get myself on the Sun Ray at Home pilot. And you are the beneficiary (no way i'd be giving away my laptop bag if my life hadn't changed forever with the delivery of a Sun Ray to my doorstep).

It's all because I love you so.

And because I'm in a terribly good mood, loving life on my Sun Ray.

Happy Friday to you too!!

*Friday Free Stuff is not a contest. It's me giving away something that I personally own to somebody I choose. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office. Sun employees can play but are not eligible to win* the prize*.
