Customer Disservice

I was reading an article about recording video on your iphone and came across this comment:

If you need to ask AT&T if it would fly you don’t know them very well. They would squeeze money out of dead people. AOL [and Satan] taught them everything they know.

Couldn’t have said it better…

2007 Bianchi Milano

Now sitting behind my dining room table. Thank you craigslist.

For Only One Click A Day…

A friend of mine just made a video with some kids she works with in a pretty low-income area here in orange county. The point of the video is to win a Converse shoes contest. She had the kids help her design a shoe and if they win, they get 22 pairs of shoes, which for these kids would be amazing.

Let’s all try and help her win:

1. Go this website and click on the image of this shoe.

Right now it’s on page three. It’s called Melting Pot.

2. Then, click on “Leave a Comment and Vote”.

3. Make sure you have the “yes” box selected then leave a comment.

Please help the kids out and send this around to some people. It seems like something small, but it would bring these guys some much needed joy (and shoes).

UPDATE: The shoes are in 11th place.  Keep clicking.

BBQ DONUT

I need this. I am officially renaming Party Island to Mildly Amusing Key.

BBQ Donut (that’s what it’s called I didn’t make it up)

New Week

The monkeys are picking tea.

The fishes are weird.

The cats are attacking.

It’s a new week here at electronicalifornia and soon a new month…oh and yesterday the ocean and party island became one and birthed a child called fun. More on that to come soon.

Update: In a strange turn of events, some other monkeys are now spear-fishing.

Corporate Machine

Great T-shirts from Timber at Etsy. This is one of my favorites.

Fun

I played Rock Band last night. It’s the funnest video entertainment experience I’ve had outside of Wii sports. Something to add to the list of “stuff” I want to accumulate.

Stuff

The other day I was talking to a worker in the office I’m contracting at telling him about some amazing product I found online. I guess this wasn’t the first item like this we’ve discussed in my two months here, because he replied decrying my love for novelty/unnecessary items. I quickly defended myself stating my frugality.

I don’t always want to buy unnecessary “stuff”.

Maybe I do have a problem…

Han Solo in…Desk?

Yep, it’s more Star Wars. Unfortunately it’s not my University of California “A” paper for FMS 177 The Holocaust in Film and Media.

In A Book…

Is this still on tv?

Wait…I just came up with a great* saying t-shirt!

Hours later**…

*By great I only mean in the category of “sayings” t-shirts. To clarify, this does not qualify the above shirt as a “great” shirt. It simply places it among the better t-shirts primarily decorated with a verbal slogan (hopefully).

**So it didn’t really come out that great. I still think it’s a funny saying and I really like my re-creation of Geordi, but the text treatment just isn’t right (and I ran out of time). O well, it was fun.
