GONG XI FA CAI! THE YEAR OF THE GOLDEN PIG: It's that time according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. I think it's supposed to be a prosperous year for us non-pigs too, so to help that along I'll send you all invoices for $500 apiece. Voila! My horoscope came true!
WORLD COMMUNITY GRID AT UF.ORG, NO REALLY: It is with some pride that I introduce everyone to the fine work that Team UF leader Didactylos has been sweating bullets over for the past while. Welcome to wcg.userfriendly.org! You can link your UF account to your wcg account, sign up for freebies and customize your certificates. From the big D himself: Ah yes.... certificates. They've been a long time coming, so thank you for
your patience. Thanks also to Illiad for providing the designs (more on the
way - so get crunching!) I would love your feedback. I plan on developing
the site further with new features in the next month or two, so get your
ideas heard. My email address is on the site (in a nice, clear,
spam-resistant form).
ILLIAD FOR A DAY 2007:Returning for 2007 to much demand is IFAD 2007, your chance to be me for a day! I as yet must wonder why anyone would want to do so, but I have learned not to peer too closely into the affairs of the geekmind.
Download the template & font files here and using the art that currently exists in the archives, put together your own User Friendly cartoon! You have until March 31st to come up with your best work and submit it to be judged by my jaundiced, baleful eye.
The rules are simple: 1. Only ONE submission per person. If you submit more than one, I'll only consider your latest entry. 2. Entries must be submitted by 12:00 Noon Pacific Daylight Time, March 31st, 2007. 3. Entries must adhere to the spirit of UF's PG-13 content rating. Watch your language and subject matter. 4. Only artwork from UF's archives may be used. You can cut it up, modify it, whatever you like. 5. Entries must be submitted using the provided cartoon template and font. 6. Submissions are to be sent to me (illiad at this domain) with the subject "IFAD 2007" 7. Be funny, clever or both. LEGAL: All submissions become the property of J.D. Frazer & UserFriendly.Org. We accept no responsibility for anything bad that may arise from your participation in this contest. Void where prohibited. Blame someone else for your childhood traumas and lack of flossing.
Finally, the prizes: Two runners-up will receive free one-year Standard Memberships to User Friendly and one signed UF cartoon print each of their choice. The winner will receive a free one-year Standard Membership to User Friendly and three signed UF cartoon prints of his or her choice, plus a signed copy of my book Money for Content and your Clicks for Free. Let the games begin!
