**UPDATE** I have awarded the 7 Google Wave invitations. Thanks to all who participated
The irony of it all. I have a couple friends saying they don’t have the invite. I can’t give them one because I didn’t get any. Then they get Wave and the next day BAM! I have invites. The stars are lined against me, better get back in bed.
Therefore, I have 7 invites to give (I earmarked one already). If you want an invite, all you have to do is comment on this thread. Comment what you want to get over the holidays. No one-liners. Give me a paragraph at least. Tell me why you want the item.And please don’t say “I want Google Wave for the holidays”.
Great comments will get their invite right away. Otherwise, next week I’ll give them away.
BTW – If someone already invited you to Google Wave, then you should probably wait for that. I already had someone ask and when I asked them if someone already gave a wave request, they said “Yeah, but I’m still waiting”. I waited 2 weeks after someone invited me.
BTW BTW – If you have Wave and want to just comment with what you want for the holidays, then let me know you do not want to be in the drawing on the comment.
BTW BTW BTW – By Retweeting, I give extra brownie points….
Good Luck!

Hey there! I want Google Wave!! I also want Assassin’s Creed II. Loved the first game, although it did get a little repetitive, but the second looks like it is going to be soooo much better. So, if you want to send me that for Christmas, as well as a google wave invite, i’d be very appreciative! Thanx!

What I want over the holidays is a new NAS device in my home. my current one is failing and I need something that will better stream audio and video. I am a linux phan so I have been toying with the idea of a using a jbod attached to an openfiler NAS but I want the disks for Xmas….
I want a new Ipod Classic 160GB for Christmas. I have an old 30GB Video Classic which is a) full of music and b) on it’s way out the door (It’s kind of beat up and the battery is less than stellar) Apple makes a great product and I can’t even grasp how much music, pics, videos, etc. I will be able to fit on 160 GB. Thanks for the consideration!
I would be delighted to receive an invite to Google Wave!!!
For Christmas, the best gift to me wouldn’t necessarily be a ‘tangible’ thing (not yet anyway); but my wife just found out she’s pregnant, and I’d very much like it to be a girl. I have 2 boys and love em, but a girl would also be very nice! And that she’d be healthy. As far as something I’d like to receive over the holiday, it would be another laptop. I have one that is like 1998 Toshiba and is way outdated and slow; so I would very much welcome a new Mac in its place.
Do you know what I’d love for Holidays!?!?! A job!!! That’s right, a simple job where I would spend all my energy and talent doing what I love the most: web dev. But since I can’t get the job I want I just keep searching, and searching, and searching, and hey, did I mention that I keep searching?? Yeah, I guess I have. Anyway, since we’re talking I just wanted to ask you for something: can you get me a job? If no, can you at least get me a google wave invite? You’d make my holidays much more happier

For christmas I’d really like my fiance to get a high paying job! She just got her doctorate in psychology, is 160 large in debt and the licensing in our state is a pain so her making decent money (or at least enough for her to pay back her loans) could be a ways off. Oh, and Google Wave please!
Thank you!!!

I would like a Google Wave invite if possible.
Thanks.
Wow what I’d really want for the holidays…… A Google wave invite! But I’d also like to get a chance to go back home for the holidays. I’ve been living in China since September 08′ as part of a student ambassador program, decided to stay for on an extenuation and now am really regretting it lol sigh But its not so bad in towards New Year though ??? know how to kick off a new year! Thanks!
Well since I’m a student I’m hoping to get a bunch of my textbooks for christmas. Boring I know, but they’re expensive, so I can’t complain about them haha. Of course, a ipod touch would also be appreciated, so who knows. I’m hoping to just be able to relax and enjoy the time off, college life is a killer so far.
I want a korg nano pad and a nano key. They are midi control devices that I can use to make music on my cpu. I love underground hip-hop and I love making beats for mc’s. I’m in a group that’s signed to a tiny label and all our members are spread throughout the country. We’re all desperate for wave for it’s collaboration uses. The nano key and nano pad are totally cost effective ways of making beats. They’re also super portable and the nano pad can be used as a midi trigger so I can bring it to live performances. With those two things and wave, we’d be an unstoppable force akin to the thundercats.
If I could have anything over the holidays it would be to see the safe recovery of my little sister. She is having an operation on her stomach over the thanksgiving break and is unable to attend out yearly family get together. She is a bit of a tech freak so it would be great for her to have google wave to play with whilst she is recovering.
I hope you have a great time over the holidays!
There isnt really anything i want material wise for the holidays, im just not materialistic like that. What would make me happy for the holidays is to be with my friends and family who are happy also. I know it sounds cliche i bet but thats how ive been all my life. I just love being with those i know and care about, and i love seeing those smiles on their faces. But yea, thats my wish for the holidays, happiness for others.
Well… I’m a CS student and what I really want to have on holiday is simply a peace of mind. System Analysis, Thesis, Cisco, etc… It really bothers me. I hope that I’ll get through it and have a peaceful holiday season. In materialistic sense, I want an HP voodoo envy laptop… of course it’s for my studies
Thank You!
All I want for Christmas is more than 2 days off, so I can spend more time with my family. Alas, I work in retail so my chances of getting that are minimal. Second choice would be a game testing invite to SW:TOR but heaven knows when they’ll be sent out, so I’m reverting to geek-girl type and hoping for something tech-related to keep me amused and a few books.
Kind of you to give out your invites on the blog.
Happy holidays to you!
well, i could say i want this and that and everything for christmas, but that’s not really so realistic. all i really want is just to spend time with loved ones. this year i don’t expect to get any presents because of the recession and most of my friends aren’t the gift-giving type. i will be going to california for my cousin’s wedding just before christmas and will be spending time with family i haven’t seen in FOREVER. all i want for christmas is to see my dad and get to spend some quality time with him. i only get to see him once a year at most because he lives overseas now. hopefully i will get that
happy holidays to you! take care.
For Christmas, I want a new cell phone carrier to emerge… one that is already up and running on a 4G network, requires no contracts, and has a reasonably priced flat-rate fee for unlimited voice, sms, and data. I’d like this company to offer an android (2.0) based smartphone that does everything the Droid does, but has a camera that focuses and either a hardware keyboard that rivals a blackberry or else only a virtual keyboard that rivals an iPhone’s. The rest is easy… I want that phone on their plan.
For the holidays, there are so many things i want. gift cards would be useful, itunes, amazon, those things. some ski gear, because I love to ski. I need a new helmet, new poles, and new pants. I want to get some stylish gear. cod: world at war is definitely on my list, though i do not know how good it is. other than that, cash would be much appreciated, though I know it makes me sound like a miser asking for cash. that’s pretty much all i want for the holidays.
For the holidays, I’d like a wacom tablet because photoshop is a constant struggle for me with a mouse. I’ve been drawing since I was little and the past couple years, I’ve been using photoshop to paint my drawings. But, with a mouse you don’t get pressure sensitivity or anything like that, so it’s a bit of a hassle. And, with a tablet, I’d be able to sketch out my drawings on photoshop which would eliminate the sketch on paper, scan, fix scanned image steps. It’d just make things a bit easier. =]
