I got a spring in my step and a song in my heart today, people.
So let's get to the fun stuff!
Please join me in congratulating D who wins our spectacular prize package that includes:
- A leather portfolio thing containing all kinds of gadget/adapter/thing-a-ma-bobs (value: a lot)
- A stainless steel mug (courtesy the Sun Training organization; they came up w/the gadgets too)
- Two Java t-shirts (courtesy Jami (lovely, talented), the MaryMaryQuiteContrary personal ambassador to Java.com)
- A Java Everywhere hat (beautifully stitched)
- A signed copy of JOTD the
world's greatest computer joke book (author: Mary's close personal
friend)
- A PLUSH DUKE DOLL! (value: priceless)
D came up with my favorite methodology for hurling a t-shirt through the air. I chose D because:
- His entry involved steps that were numbered. I like that. It's
just a style thing.
- His entry was wildly creative. I love wildly creative.
- His entry involved a cigarette being lit in the state of
California, demonstrating great courage on the part of the submitter.
But wait, there's more!!!!
