My moms birthday is June 1st, and since I'm way too broke to actually buy her a trip somewhere or do something else expensive, I thought I'd offer something that I have a lot of: time.

I'm trying to videotape at least a 100 50 people saying "happy 50th birthday Joanna", which I will then compile a into a nice dvd and give as a present. Nothing says "I love you" like a copious amount of time spend on something quite trivial just for the benefit of someone.

I'm recording people left and right with my pocket-camera, but have realised that I probably won't make it in time, so if you'd like to help me out and make my mom happy, please email a short video of yourself congratulate her (say 'happy birthday', do a little dance, play a tune on a banjo, whatever).

The address to use is mateusz.pozar@valand.gu.se, and I'll try to keep the account empty and spacious so that no emails will bounce.

Another option is to upload to video.google.com and tag it with "happy birthday Joanna" and send me a note or link (I would have used YouTube.com, but they don't allow downloads, only streaming), or just use whatever ftp-server you have access to and send me a link.

Deadline is May 31th, although I'd appreciate it as soon as possible; as usual I'm doing things at the last minute (if not second), but if you could spare a few minutes of your time, I'd be much obliged, and I'll try to compensate you in some way (name your price).

Sincere regards : Mateusz Pozar
