Gmail Give Away Contest

IT’S TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN!

The first five people to correctly identify here in comments who said this about what and whom will get a gmail account:

“ . . . print - books, magazines, newspapers will become icons, sculptures, textures . . . simple information transfer will be effected by some other . . . means . . . print is reborn, resurrected, as something initially unrecognizable. It’s not really dead, it simply mutated into something else. ”

Go!

    I already have a gmail account but I really just have the urge to say, “Yeah, what they said.” Even though I have no clue… :)

    Since when? They’re worth a whole 99 cents US on eBay!

  7. Ray Says:

    Yep, could be David Carson’s “THe End of Print” or Billy Bob Gates several years ago after a bowl of Five Dollar BoB’s Mock Cooter Stew at the Skunk Hollow - Road Kill Cafe and Lug Nut Hut. He was claiming after the advent of the first Apple Computer, that for long we would all be living in the future and talking with our minds cause he read it in the paper fifteen years previously or heard it at a town picnic. That is from Duck Tape Magazine, volume 2, page 39 right after the ad for Esperanto. hummmm. or was it an inscription on Imohotep’s tomb about the absence of vowels leading to corruption of youth in ancient Egypt. hell i dont know. But it makes a good story. Anyway i thought Gmale was a bunch of IT guys doing the Full Monty.

  8. Ray Says:

  9. John M. Says:

    Can I get a gmail account just by cut n’ pasting “David Carson”? If so then this word processors worth every penny.

  10. Molly Says:

    lol, fuckit. You all get gmail accounts, so long as you email me your current emails so I can send the invite.

    Yes, ’twas David Byrne to David Carson.
