Explicitly and without apology a marketing vehicle MaryMaryQuiteContrary

Happy Friday Everybody!

I am delighted to announce that today MaryMaryQuiteContary readers will witness (in the first person) the spectacle of what happens we give away a Sony MP3 player NIB (value: ~$350)!



Please join me in congratulating Eric Schrock, who wins People's Choice Award when it comes to Open Solaris Bloggers! (Well, the MaryMaryQuiteContrary people at least.)

We'll be letting Eric know he won via private email conversation. And if he opens the email, reads it and responds I'll send the MP3 player to him! (and publish the private email conversation in this blog.)

Otherwise we're going to give it to the second runner up.

(because that's what happens when you don't read the email that marketing people send you.)

:-)

But wait, there's more!

Everyone who played along in the MaryMaryQuiiteContary People's Choice Awards for OpenSolaris Bloggers (see previous entry) gets a free t-shirt! If you're a winner, send me email to MMQC -- except all spelled out like it is in the masthead of this blog. Then do the at symbol. Then do gee-mail except spell it right dot com. Get it? trying to trick the spambots because they haven't found me there yet. Oh, and don't try to impersonate a winner people. It won't work. And I'll black-list you if you try. We give away lots of stuff around here. (Free Stuff is the brand promise of MaryMaryQuiteContrary.) Just check back frequently and you can get in on the action fair and square.

(Suresh gets two because he's totally out of control.)
