- Sephr, on 11/22/2008, -0/+14Lulz. TechCrunch has some advice for you about that: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/21/the-best-this ...
- Sephr, on 11/22/2008, -3/+7Also, why the heck are you writing this Digg submission in the 3rd person? Your username is ericcalisto. Make a separate user to submit this story to make it look like someone actually cares about you.
And why does your website say you are 18? - bobboberton, on 11/23/2008, -0/+3http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Unwarranted_self- ...
Yea/Nay? You decide!
On a more serious note, if Google does accept your logo idea, you just know they're going to be flooded with other logo requests. - MKammerer, on 11/23/2008, -1/+3Buried for trying to make money through AdBrite.
- lemonpies, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2Google probably already gets flooded with thousands of requests daily - a random act of kindness to an unknown might inspire more teenagers to have a go at graphic design rather than take up drugs, knife crime or robbing old people of their pensions down dark alley's...
- EmperorAnton, on 11/23/2008, -1/+2you just never know...this could be a way to show what social media is capable of doing.

My name is Eric Calisto. I am going to be 18 years old and I have been using the internet since I got it. Hah, sounds like a pretty truthful statement. I love hanging out with my friends and eating. A Monster a day keeps the tiredness away. That's me. Everyday after school I come home and eat chicken and pizza rolls..cause pizza and chicken are the only two real foods I like. Combine that with some crushed pineapple and jello and you are good to go. I play the drums. Have been for 3 years. I'm not extremely good, but it takes time..and apparently extra time for me. I love business. I have always said I will own one of my own someday. Internet is my thing. It holds endless possibilites. I drink too much water..which means I make frequent trips to the restroom. I can't help that. Some may get annoyed though. Making random movies is always fun. The best friend I have ever had was my dog, Chestnut. I am an easy person to get along with and I like to make any situation fun. I make jokes out of stress and I don't see why people worry. I feel like I am a pretty smart kid that will get somewhere in life, but I can't do it alone. Everyone needs support, that is why I am turning to you. I will never fail. It is just not part of me. I would never let it happen. Doubt just makes me a stronger being. - Bauer22, on 11/23/2008, -1/+2Oh yeah because Google has nothing better to do then accept random logos from teenagers that draw like 7 year olds after discovering MS Paint. I hope Google accepts some even more random logo on Dec 2 just to piss you off.
- AdrianBye, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1do you think it should be the level of effort involved to be deserving, or of value created? what if picasso took 2 minutes to make a google logo?
- eliburford, on 11/22/2008, -2/+2Reading through some of the comments on TechCrunch (link above), I decided I wouldn't brother writing a little post about this to help his dream come true.
It really doesn't look like he tried very hard with his idea, and if it came true so easily with so little work involved, he wouldn't deserve instant internet celebrity status. - darthweef, on 11/23/2008, -1/+1logo is ugly ...
- lemonpies, on 11/23/2008, -1/+1If techcrunch think you are good enough to blog about then you have my vote, go get 'em tiger!
- Pwalex, on 11/23/2008, -2/+1Time for Eric to realize that the power of the internet is not for good, and positive accomplishment, but for destruction of innocence and hopes and dreams. Let the email-pwning of Eric commence!
