a google christmas

· December 17, 2005 · 14 Comments

Out of the blue, I got a Christmas present from Google.

Opening up the box, there’s a large leather wallet inside, featuring an embossed Google logo.

Unzipping the wallet, it folds open to reveal:

A Google-branded USB hub
A Google-branded 128MB pen drive
A Google-branded wireless optical mouse
A Google-branded headset
A USB-powered notebook light
An extendable USB to mini-USB adapter

Crikey. You gotta love Google.

What? Out of the blue?
Why? I WANT ONE. (Is it a 5 year birthday present do you think?)

No, I reckon it’s because I use Adsense on the cat websites.

I use Adsense too but obviously you need a lot of hits to be getting a pressie from Google. Either way, I’m still jealous!!!

Can’t believe Google just sent all that stuff to you. You the man!

I want my share too!

Were there any letters in the box?

well, maybe a lot of people read your blogs through the RSS feed on Google Reader like I do.
