Oh yes, it would be great if you contributed to Digital Rights Ireland too.

Disclosure: I am a director of Digital Rights Ireland, but this is aspoke.com’s initiative.

Most of our designs are at least a bit crazy and whimsical. We’ve decided to do something for the more serious-minded professional. This is one I really like.

Greg added this new design to the site this week. I think it looks great. Our other flower designs, such as the Blue Night Flowers notebook skin have been massively successful.

We love watching the competition, and it’s great when we spot something we’ve done that they’ve followed. For example, the Schtickers.com Zebra design, which was added after we introduced our very popular Zebra laptop skin. I still think our design is way cooler though!

The film ‘An Inconvenient Truth‘ is now in cinemas in the UK and is coming to Ireland next week! We are repeating our previous free skins offer, with a few changes.

We think the message of this film is important and we want to get it out to as many bloggers as possible.

Basically, all you have to do to get your free skin is to follow these instructions:

1. You have to have a blog.

2. You have to be in a European Union country.

3. You have to apply for the offer before the end of October 2006.

2. You need to post a blog post containing a link to www.aninconvenienttruth.co.uk/ or http://www.climatecrisis.net/blog/ and to this offer at http://aspoke.com/blog/.

For example, your blog post might read as follows (text here is from the film website, but the text is up to you).

‘Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced. An Inconvenient Truth offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man’s fervent crusade to halt global warming’s deadly progress in its tracks

Aspoke.com has a special offer which I have taken up. If you have a blog, you should check aspoke.com’s offer of a free laptop skin if you mention ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ on your blog.’

Remember, you can say whatever you like about the film or the offer, providing you include the two links

then send us via email:

* the web address for your blog
* what design you would like (choose from our products page)
* what size of skin you would like or what model of laptop you would like the skin for

One skin per household, one skin per blog. You don’t have to say anything nice about the film. Your blog has to have been in operation for at least 28 days. Send it to customerservice@aspoke.com with the Subject ‘Inconvenient Truth Offer’.
