Overseas, ya dumb broad

I just heard a girl here say that she was abroad last semester. It struck me funny that she would call herself a broad.

A Man Who Saved The World

Actually, a tidbit for you today, I came across this article as I was procrastinating just now. What luck for you!

This is a story about a man who saved the world. It probably happens fairly often, but that's beside the point. Read it, think about it, and feel free to join the author and myself(separately) in raising a glass to this Russian dude.

Apple Tech Support Update

Okay, an update on my Apple tech support issues, and a brief review, because I don't actually remember if I talked about this here before:

I had an issue with my battery not wanting to charge on my MacBook, and I had an issue with the plastic becoming discolored, so I called Apple Tech Support. I was pretty pleased, the guy walked me through some things to try, and said if I brought my mac into an Apple Store, they'd replace the plastic. Sweet.

Present day:

The battery problem has gotten worse. I can't actually get it to charge at all, or at least register a charge. So...

I call tech support again, and tell the guy. He gives me ok news...says to bring it to a service center and they'll check it out. If it's a battery, they might be able to trade it out, maybe not. If it's the laptop, they'll have to ship it out, probably.

At first I was kinda upset. I can not work without my lappy. I bought a freakin Apple, and now my stuff has to be shipped out, and I miss it for a week. Crap. But then I realized that even if I bought a HP or a Sony, I'd still have to shit it out for service. So anyway. I'm a bit miffed, but what can I do? Overall, I'm very pleased with apple's tech support people. They don't treat you like a moron, and they seem to know what they're talking about. Life goes on.

Lots more to talk about, it's a hectic week, but I'll leave it at this.

Hoh hoh hoh! Le boh, Le boh!

Wirelessly-enabled Wine Glasses. These make me think of a few situations...

First off, you're spending a quiet night at home, and you've got one of the wine glasses, and your lover has the other in like...I don't know, some shit hole...France...and suddenly, your wine glass starts lighting up, and for like, you know, an hour or something, your wine glass is like a light show. So you get curious, and call your lover overseas, after dealing with some French operator, and she's totally out of breath, and drunk, and after talking to her for like, a minute, you hear Jacques in the background asking where his pantaloons are. Heh...ok.
