it's Friday. and you know what that means...

Free Stuff!

Free Stuff for everybody this week, people!

totally serious.

i'm going to put a spring in your step and a song in your heart.

and if you like it, you can go ahead and put that song in your phone. your java powered phone. (that part's not free)

here's where you go... Warner Mobile Music Streaming Jukebox..

Take a listen to - Jet, Brandy, Big & Rich, Ryan Cabrera, and more!

where's the hub for this kind of stuff... Java.com. so much cool stuff here... we're going to explore...

in fact, i got a fabulous package of prizes here...
picture of prizes...

a hat, a t-shirt, a frisbee and a button....

i've even got...
package of prizes

tattoos...

and it all goes to the person who replies to the comments section of this blog with their favorite thing about java.com.

easy as that.

happy weekend people!

p.s. this is not a contest. i arbitrarily pick the person to whom i give something that i personally own. i pay for shipping with stamps that i buy at the post office.



ok everybody. i know it's friday. i know you're waiting to find out what we've got for free stuff...

well, let's just say i'm still working that angle... and you're going to have to hang in with me.

ok. lots of buzz about these super light-weight machines, right? laptops on atkins.

meanwhile, i'm in big planning meeting today... it's the new job... awesome job... so excited... more on that in the weeks and months ahead.

lunch break. boggy over to the cafeteria for lunch.

mail room is right next door.

back to the shrinking size of the tools a mobile workforce needs to get their work done.

i'm mobile. i work. let's see how new gadget sizes up... remember in this discussion, less is more.

hey there's Rick in the mail room!

"hi Rick! how's it going buddy? long time no see...

rick in the mail room

"listen, can i come in there just for a second... will you unlock the door? i just need to use your scale for a second...  i promise... just a second... real quick..."

so i took this picture...
picture of my badge on a scale

of the device i use to get my work done on the road... and at home... and i don't even have to lug around power cords, ethernet cords and a mouse.

don't you love it!
