I really, reallly need this light. Sometimes, cafes are kinda dark, and all the nooks near lamps are taken, and I squint to read and do crossword puzzles…
So help me! By voting for me in Treehugger’s “Reader Gift Guide” Contest. My lil mini-list, excerpted from my longer holiday gift list, is a finalist!
It’ll take you just a sec — And while you may find the competing geeky and elfin gift lists enticing, mine’s clearly the most narcissistic and self-serving — I believe in taking care of the self during the holidays. Greenly, of course.
But lest my megalomania’s not sweetening the deal — I promise that, if I win, I’ll get 2 workplace dish sets (right) with the vessel gift certificate to give out as prizes for future Starbucks Challenges :)
So get over there and vote!
Update, 12/28/05: I won! Thanks everyone :)
Did it before you even asked! :)

Thanks Roger! Right now I’m neck in neck (or is it neck to neck? Sorry — been drinking) with the elfin. It’s so excruciatingly nervewracking — esp. cuz I don’t know when the damn voting box closes! It may be time for me to send out a mass email –

Hey,
I just put you at 30 votes. And here’s a link to their little blurb about William McDonough and his Cradle to Cradle book that I’ve been raving over.
I hope you get that light. :)

Thanks NC — I just sent out a shameless email to some of my friends asking them to get into blogging already — so I can get more votes –

drjules — Why oh why did you bury this in such an old post!? ;) I got your comment on a comment-heavy day, but didn’t respond to it right away and have been clicking thru my old stuff in a mad search for yr lil note!
But I’ve found it now :) Thanks for the kind words –
