My friend, Jørgen, doesn't believe I can collect one million giraffes by 2011. I'm gonna prove him wrong, but I need your help. You can create your giraffe(s) in any way you like, but not on a computer and no store bought objects. You must create your giraffe(s) yourself! Click here to read why.
So far I've got 351 585 giraffes, so I need 648 415 more and I have 410 days left.
Let's show Jørgen how amazing the internet is.

Moi je trouve le principe absolument génial !!!

Getting one million giraffes in such a short timeframe is impossible. Or is it? That's what I'm trying to find out. Yes, I know it means that I need about one giraffe a minute and that pace seems impossible to keep up for such a long time.

But at this point it really doesn't matter if I make it to a million. It would be mindblowingly cool if I did, but consider this for a second: There are people all over the world drawing giraffes right now. Isn't that cool? I think it's really, really cool. I think it's very interesting to see how many giraffes I will get, but it's even more interesting and fun to just sit back and look at all the amazing giraffes that are pouring in. Have you looked in the gallery? There's some really amazing stuff in there.

So, if you think this is only about reaching a million you've kind of missed the point of the project. It doesn't matter if I make to a million. I really, really want to, and I'm still working towards that goal, but at this point it's just fun to see people all over the world turning off their TVs, putting their computers away and sitting down to drawing giraffes. Old school style.

People spend too much time being digital. They should try be analog, being human and creating something real for a change. Most people love it when they try it. I get emails from people all over the world saying that they've rediscovered drawing! Families are sitting down in the living room and acting like families. I have hundred of emails from mums and dads saying that they sat down with their kids and had a blast drawing giraffes.

People are actually having giraffe parties! Do you realize how cool that is? Please join in on the fun.
It's just a silly giraffe drawing, not a big deal at all!

Bon bha yapluka faire ma giraffe, hein 

>>PATRICK <<

oooh ca va, si on a meme plus le droit de simuler la moderation  (je crois que je ferais bien de courrir tres loin)

Dessin ou autre: tant que c'est original (au sens: une création perso, pas un truc acheté) qui ne passe pas par un ordinateur, ca rentre dans le cadre ! Ma soeur a tricoté des peluches de giraffe avec ses filles 
Parfait donc pour ceux qui ont des zenfans et veulent se faire une session travaux manuels 

Bha, stocker des images ya plein de trucs gratuits qui le font... s'il s'est bien débrouillé, ca le fait ! Et meme, avec une taille d'image de 1mo (ca fait déjà des bonnes images), ca fait 1 To de données. Autant dire vraiment keudal de nos jours, non ?

Par contre effectivement, le gus souligne que ca représente une giraffe par minute en moyenne pendant tout ce temps ! C'est plus du temps plein à ce niveau 

Quoi qu'il en soit, qu'il y arrive ou pas, je trouve que c'est carrément fun

Pas eu le temps de faire ma giraffe, mais vais m'en occuper bientot (et j'ai des idées débiles pour lui attirer des nouvelles giraffes, mais chuuuut
Jme vois bien me balader avec un Tshirt blanc et un gros marqueur + "dessine moi une giraffe" ; va falloir se remplir de bières avec des potos avant, mais ca me semble une bonne occupation de soirée... si ya des amateurs ? )
