Happy (belated) Friday everybody!
Time for free stuff!
Puzzler is still on vacation.
That means it's...
time to start thinking up ways to propel a t-shirt through the air. That's one way to harness that brainpower until the Puzzler comes back. Heaven forbid we're not maximizing cranial utilization.
And while you're at it, quick think up a submission for JavaOne. You only have until Monday (Jan. 31) -- that's when the call for papers closes. (remember, I got free stuff on the table for anybody who submits.)
OK. Time for dessert!
Check out the prizes this week...
It's in triplicate... We're going to have three grand prize winners... Each gets a t-shirt; a hat and a frisbee! (fun,fun,fun!)
(Breaking with tradition) I'd like to dedicate this week's Friday Free Stuff to all those marketing girls out there! Here's to you -- the non-techno gals (and guys)! Here's to not undestanding a word they say and nodding and playing along like you do! Here's to the people out there who get more excited about manicures, bon bons and strappy sandals than they do about OS X, Red Bull and RAM!
I stumbled on this Nerd Quiz... I found out about it on Java Addicts.
Took the quiz...
... and here's my score.
This week's Friday Free Stuff prize3 will be awarded to the first three gals (or guys) who score lower on the Nerd Quiz than me.
(honor system)
Enter* to win* by posting a comment to this blog entry telling me how you did. Extra credit if you can figure out how to post your score.
Remember, Free Stuff is the brand promise of MaryMaryQuiteContrary. (As I have participated in a branding workshop, I am an expert in these kinds of things.)
bon weekend!

p.s. It's truly free. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office.
p.p.s. Sorry we've been slipping on the release date for Friday Free Stuff. You're software engineers. You know how that goes... I'll try to do better next week.
