Cafe Sevilla Anniversary Boat Party Giveaway
Ok, so I’m giving away two free tickets to the Cafe Sevilla Anniversary Party. I’m in no way affiliated with them, I just happen to have two extra tickets to the event, and figured, what the hell? Why not do a Twitter/Blog-based Lottery to the few of you that read my boring crap? At least this will make it worth your while for a change.
Here’s how it works:

Give-away Details
I’ll be doing a Twitter-search for the above tweet Thursday June 24th, 2009 at 4pm Pacific. From there I use a neat randomizer I made for @cyantist a while back for the Penn & Teller show give-away she did.
What you’re winning
Tickets to the party. That’s it. Simple, aye? Tickets are valued at like $30 or $40 a pop…
Good luck and God speed.
Something about Apple.
I badger Apple all the time with short shuns and tweets, constant scoffs of disapproval, and blatant disregard for their… innovations in mobile technology. Anyone who’s talked to me for more than 10 minutes can tell you that I loath Apple. In fact, I’ll never own, use or (if I can avoid it) handle one of their God forsaken products.
So, what’s all this hate for a great company all about?
In a word, Marketing.
Apple does not, has not, and will never – as far as I’m concerned, bring any type of actual, huge, technological advancement to the Technology Industry’s table, ever. What they do, and will continue to do, is create gimmicks and tricks, and watch everyone try to play catch-up thereafter, because they Market their gimmicks and tricks to the point where they create a vastly large interest in their products. read more
FollowFriday – May 1, 2009
I think the whole FollowFriday thing needs a layer of description, reasons why you should follow the people that are recommended… Sure, I slap a laundry list of names into a tweet or two, but really? What good does that do, people want things to be easy – give’m the reason and let’m make their decision based off of that one stop shop for FollowFriday recommendations.
As a little bonus, I’ve added a link so you can follow the below with less hassle. Just click the follow link, it will kick you over to Twitter, just click update… Trust me, this works just fine: read more
Why micro-blogging is stupid
Not too long ago, it was absurd for everyone to “need” a cell phone. In fact, these devices were seen as “elite business” tools that only the most urgent-matter-handling gurus in the business world would ever need. They were huge, they were cumbersome, and they merely performed one function, voice communication.
When kids started carrying pagers, people thought it was “too much”; after all, only drug dealers and lawyers needed the damned things.
Now, we’re in an age where cellphones are in the hands of seven year olds, and if you have a pager… chances are you still have your old Betamax player, and access the web via AOL dial-up. It’s even coming to the point where CD’s are becoming obsolete for music, lord knows I haven’t bought one of those in about 10 years, DVD’s can soon be there too if consumer-grade Internet gets fatter pipes. read more
