For many weeks now I've been wearing the Yellow Jersey on blogs.sun.com.

tour de france

The peloton has caught me. And while I will continue to pedal furiously, I'm not going to win this race. (Not that rankings matter. Nobody pays attention to them. They're actually terribly unimportant).

So as a thank-you present for indulging me with your attention, I would like to give (the first 20 of) you a full color poster ....

picture of concept map

of the Java Technology Concept Map (online version available free to anybody who wants it)

and...

picture of java pin

the hottest pin in Olympic Village.

just post a comment that tells me to give you the map and the pin. and i'll get in touch with you to work out details. i pay for shipping.

you guys thanks bunches and bunches for reading the blog.

i sincerely thank you.

I'm sure you can keep on pedaling a while longer!! I'm a sucker for free stuff that I don't need but I can find a home for those things. (will check it when I get home)

I wouldn't mind getting one of those ;-)

I think you can... I think you can...

Hey! Free stuff? ...and I don't even have to hurt my poor little brain trying to answer a question?? ...COOL!! I can handle THAT! I would like a map and pin, please. :)

"Don't stop, [Mary]! Don't ever stop!" ;) ...oh wait. Wrong sport. Sorry.

As long as you're giving them away... count me in...

Hey that would be great. I've downloaded that poster as a pdf couple of days ago and wasn't able to read that on my tiny 14" laptop screen. But a real poster AND a pin would be fantastic. Please can I get one too...

The poster would be super-handy. The pin would go fabulous with almost all my wardrobe. Thanks!

If you are still running this, I love that poster :) Finally, I dont have to go and view the massive PDF (although the interactive Flash version was kinda cool) Scott

I love pins! First time I encounter the poster though, so I'll have a look at it.

Still giving away posters? Don't mind shipping to Germany? Count me in :)

I wouldn't mind one. =)

one of those posters would look excellent beside the Java Class Libraries on my wall

I'd love one of those posters as well! Free stuff is always the best stuff!

Maybe I can laminate the poster and use it as a table cloth! Please send me a poster to save my tabletop!

If you're still passing along posters, I'd like one. I still have a little bit of free wallspace in my cube!

Hey Mary, came home after 4 weeks working in another city and found the poster and the pin (actually 2 pins) in my mailbox. Thank you so much! The poster is great for a detailed overview and so much better than a pdf on a tiny screen.
