We’re planning on doing more interviews and will hopefully have more books to give away in the future.

Foundations of Ajax that we’re giving away to our listeners! We’ll now be holding the drawing on Sunday, July 23rd.

Either use the “Contact Us” form (right side of this page) or send an e-mail to geekmuse gmail.com with a subject of “Ajax book” to be entered into the random drawing.

Your e-mail will only be used to contact you if you are the winner, otherwise, it gets tossed (if you listen to the show, you know we don’t like SPAM either).

There’s one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie delivered to your house daily by delivery service. Okay. And currently it comes to your house, it gets put in the mail box when you get home and you change your order but you pay for that, right.

But this service isn’t going to go through the interent and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.
