I have one gmail invite left. Who wants it?

Just tell me why you deserve it.

I just found out I have five invites left. Since $jark is giving his away contest style, I figured I could do that too. Screw freedom. Well, not entirely. Here's how it's gona go down.

I want a charecter. I'm like the only person on staff without one. The lightbulb thing and the pacmanish logo don't cut it. The charecter doesn't nessicarly HAVE to be a monkey, although, that'd be nice. Take a look at some of the other charecters on dA. $jark $kevin $spyed. Something cool and cartoony, like that.

There are three ways to win a gmail invite, from me.

One invitation will be given to the best charecter design.
One invitation will be given to whomever can tell me why they deserve an invite.
3 Invitations will be given at random, and at my sole discression. Some may not be given to members of this site. Some, may be given to houseplants. Whatever I decide.


The two contest parts will end in a week, or something. Depending on how many comments this journal gets.

One day, I hope to be able to apply the tagline of "It's like getting fucked up the ass with a taiwaneese midget" to something. I don't know why.

Since you all told me in a recent poll that I need to post more journals, you get to tell me what the hell I should talk about, since I'm all out of ideas.

Google is going to take over the world.

Simple as that. We all know about their search. Smarter than a pack of crazed packrats, faster than a speeding object. All that good stuff. But, gmail is the greatest thing EVER. I've been using it for, maybe 20 min....and I can allready tell how much better it is than anything else around. (MAD props to :devsiphex: for hooking me up with the beta account). It's not just the gig of storeage. Any idiot with a giant storage network could do that. It's the interface. The way the ads work. The speed of the whole thing (it's javascript based, so you have no pageloads), the fact that it makes email as simple as their websearch. They're much like the Apple of the internet. They make stuff that's wicked cool (Don't get me started on apples new stuff....)

Google's other big breakthrough is their ads. They're the only ads I've purposely clicked on in AGES. They're simple, play nice with the webpage, and, quite often, usefull. It seems like that should have been one of the first things to come out of web advertizing....ads that DON'T throughly annoy your potential customers. I'm seeing them more and more...and that's a good thing. Because, it means two things. One, I get to calmly view the page I'm reading (I use Firefox with popup blocking and flash off, but that doesn't stop EVERY annoying web gimic.) Two, If I want to buy a related product, there's a company who'll sell it to me right there, who I won't feel bad about suporting because of their advertizing (The few popups/banners/etc I've ever seen that intrest me, I generaly refrain from clicking, because that directly supports getting more of them around. If you buy it, IT WORKS, no matter how much you hate it).

And yet again, I fail at starting a blog. And at the same time, dA now has all these badass blogging features. So much for blogger. Oh well. I was just doing it for a gmail account anyway. Anyone have a invite code they wana give me? Pretty please?

This just in: *sciphex hooked me up with a gmail invite. He's the fuckin' man. All further email should be directed to kristopf@gmail.com
