I told my Dad that I needed a new laptop or notebook and he started researching right that second. I guess for his money and service he thought a Dell laptop was the best. I didn’t really care especially since I didn’t have to buy it myself. What he got really surprised me.
He got a Dell Alienware. It’s really a gaming computer but he didn’t have any games preinstalled because he doesn’t want me playing games instead of studying, his words not mine. Anyway it’s not only cool looking but man does it have all of the bells and whistles I would ever need. You got to check them out at dell.com. They are totally awesome and be prepared that they are a bit pricey. Check it out.
Since I’ll be going back to school this fall and I really need a new laptop. I had thought about checking on Ebay but then decided not to because I need all of the latest and greatest bells and whistles possible. What I really need is a Dell laptop or maybe an Apple notebook. Apple makes a great notebook and it is more expensive than a Dell laptop but in the end, it’s worth it.
You know, my father said that he would pay for everything to do with me going back to school so I think I need to just tell him I need a new laptop and let him go buy what he wants. That’s the best way to do it because he’ll buy the best no matter what the cost.
Did you hear about the email accidentally sent to Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency back in September that brought the controversial techniques of the advertising firm Kluger Agency under fire? I never heard anymore about it. I wonder what happened?
The email read, “I’m writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album,” offering to place Jeff Crouse’s fake brand, Double Happiness Jeans, into the songs of popular artists. It was posted on his blog along with a reply that mocked Kluger and brought ridicule and criticism against Adam Kugler and his agency. According to Crouse, Kluger emailed him once again to claim it had been an automated email, and later requested that Crouse remove the the post and comments criticizing himself and his agency, threatening a $150,000 lawsuit against Crouse for defamation.
Say what? These guys sent him the email and then want to sue him. Makes sense to me, doesn’t it you? What morons, they sent out the email and then thought about it and wished they hadn’t. We’ve all done that before, now haven’t we. I never offered to sue someone if they didn’t erase it though.
I have a good friend that’s a machinist and he was telling me about some of the new technology they have been told about. There’s a machine now that does hot stamping which will imprint whatever is needed into medal. If a logo is required, that’s what the hot stamping does.
A lot of these types of machines will make his work a lot easier like the hydraulic press line they offer and the press robot. A lot of people think robots are bad because they take human jobs away but these make human jobs easier. Someone has to oversee the robot to make sure it is doing what it’s supposed to do. Plus there are times they have to be reprogrammed to do something else too. These are going to make his job a lot easier. He told me to check them out at apt-usa.com. I must admit, I was impressed.
My parents have decided to take a long time coming, trip to Europe. They’re going to England and Ireland which they have talked about since I can remember. Well Dad is one of those old fashioned guys that won’t see of having a cell phone. I think it’s to keep the office from bugging him all of the time. I told him he needed to at least get some calling cards so they could keep in touch with the rest of us and let us know they’re okay.
I went ahead and got them some at getmecallingcards.com because he’s about as hard headed as my sister and I figured he wouldn’t get any. I told him it’s a lot cheaper to use them than to call collect or have to put all that change in a pay phone. Besides, they’ll work anywhere they’re going and a cell phone might not so in that case, calling cards are better.
