Whose woods are these?

the view from outside my office; snow on trees

I think I know.

(This is the view from my office. It's our first real storm. And oh-so-pretty.)

I got promises to keep, people.

And miles to go before I sleep.

Happy Friday Everybody!

(just play along, would ya?)

We're going to get right to it....

With the help of a certain techno celebs genius extraordinaire who shall remained unnamed (hint: Java sprung from his head fully formed, like the goddess Athena), I found out about a really neat-o blog.

Please join me in welcoming Matt Quail into that exclusive and tightly-knit community of techno celebs who are my close personal friends.

Matt's blog is awesome. You gotta check it out, people.

Which leads us to Friday Free Stuff!

This week's prize package includes...

the fabulous prize package

  • A gum ball machine donated by the lovely and talented Bao, our very own Sun Developer Network ambassador.
  • A leather business card holder
  • A Duke mouse pad
  • A really fancy notebook that comes with a pen
  • A boxed pen set donated by the lovely and talented Heather at Inner Circle, a program sponsored by one of my all-time favorite Sun execs, Bill Howard
  • A most fashionable Sun Developer Network hat
  • A long-sleeved Urban Adventure t-shirt from the 2003 JavaOne conference
  • And saving the best for last -- Duke (temporary) tattoos! Surprise your loved ones!

This spectacular prize package goes to the person who points me to the most neat-o, jazzy-jaz, unconventional, creative, humorous Java thing out there. It can be anything from stuff like Matt's blog to the ringtone re-mixer to stuff like Qnext. I like visual stuff, in case you want to curry favor with the judge (me).

You can enter* to win* by posting a  comment to this blog entry telling me about your favorite neat-o Java thing and pointing me to it.

Remember: Free Stuff is the brand promise of MaryMaryQuiteContrary. And I've got lots of Duke temporary tattoos.

;-)

Bon weekend!

p.s. *I don't do contests. This is me giving away stuff that I personally own to people I choose. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office.
