Unless Motorola can really step up with a slimmer, smarter device I’m quite happy to wait for what will be my next phone – the Nokia N95.
View the ad on Youtube here.
So Nokia, my Motorola is broken, now is your chance to snag me back as a customer. How about helping me out with a gift or demo model for a blogger who also used to work (contract) for you?
I promise to write an honest review!!!
Here’s a little sentiment on how I’m feeling about work right now, courtesy the Weeds Season 2 Finale…
I’m far too tired/busy/shallow/hungover/lazy/pissed-off-with-firefox-crashing to write a real blog entry today, so I’m just gonna pretend I wrote something real good and if you like you can comment on it. Note the lack of any link to any external page, no image and yes, no content. Enjoy!
So you’ve probably seen the ad for the kief 24.com-Johnny-Five, Nineteen-Eighties-Robot-Search that will find the socks that Tracker can’t. Great idea – take a really bad, boring and stale marketing approach to try and get people to use your search engine.
I guess the marketers cannot be blamed this time – after all, who would really want to promote a product that is broken?
Witness below the astonishing results as I clicked the ego search for “Shaun Dewberry”: (click image for full size)
Not one single link to dewberry.co.za, but plenty of links to other crap that doesn’t even mention me? Is 24.com being spammed? Is their database corrupt? A similar search for 52weeks.co.za yielded a killer three results, one of which appears to be just as dodgy.
I’ve tried other searches and they all seem to work. Is it just me? Is this belated revenge because I supported NobodyOwns24.com? Am I simply a lowly corruption in the big 24.com database?
Thank goodness for Google.
November is officialy National Novel Writing Month – 30 days to churn out 50 000 words of hopefully legible fiction. For what, you ask? For yourself. And so, yes, just to add another big ass task to my plate I’ve decided I’m in. Balls to the wall, with my first attempt at what should be some sort of Sci-Fi post-modern retro techno rabble.
Honestly, I think this facade of literary bravery is probably just an excuse not to do something more pertinent.
Guess we’ll see how it goes.
