Domestic Geek

I just received my ThinkGeek newsletter. I totally forgot that they have a monthly Techie Haiku Contest where you can win a $50 ThinkGeek gift certificate.

I want ThinkGeek stuff
Must think of a cool haiku
My brain is so fried

heh.

Anyway, if I won, I'd get myself a myself a Cubes IT department playset. It would be like having my very own Marcus action figure! Of course, I'd have to fashion an Apple hat for him.

Marcus and I were sitting here watching CSI: Miami from Monday and an Apple Mac/PC ad came on. That reminded him of something he wanted me to see. Apparently, Apple UK has their very own British actors doing "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials. Check them out on the Apple UK Ads site.

Edit: From a comment: Apple Japan Ads. Not as humorous since I don't understand Japanese, but still cool to see the ads with different actors.

Well, at least today is going better than yesterday.

We went to CompUsa to exchange the Animusic DVD. Wouldn't you know it...there were no more in stock. *sigh* Oh, well. At least they took it back. The good news is they had a manager's special on the iSight Accessory Kit. It has a magnetic stand (among other ones) that attaches the camera to the top of a cinema display. It normally retails for almost $30, but they were on sale for $2.97. Whee! Marcus and I each snagged one. Now my iSight is sitting happily atop my display, just like at the Apple Store. Now if only I had somebody to chat with.

They're having a Dumb Friend's League telethon on Fox31 today. I'm sad...that's where we got Skippy from. I really want another dog, but I'm going to be strong and not do it until we get out of this park. I am going to blog for them as my charity this year in the Blogathon. I was torn as to which charity to pick last year, but I went with Livestrong because I knew that Marcus would donate for that charity. I've thought about volunteering down there, but I don't think I could do it. Not being able to save every animal would kill me.

I sent a link to this site to Marcus, but wanted to make note of it here for myself to check more in-depth later on. I found a site today that has archives of classic computer magazines. The only title I really remember seeing on store shelves is Compute Magazine, but I didn't become a hard-core computer user until after Marcus bought his iMac. Before that, I knew word processing and minimal graphics. Look at me now! W00t!

Hey, have you seen one of the newest Apple commercials? Check out the "Meant for Work" one. Poor PC is lamenting having to play video games and play music. He's been plastered with all sorts of stickers. Just like my friend Mike's PC! It made me giggle.
