First off I’d like to opine that more mymac blogs would be better. Everyone else seems to have important stuff to say, but they don’t seem to say it very often. Of course that could be because it’s hard to get worked up every single day.
Or is it? Rush Limbaugh seems to manage okay and when was the last time Babs wasn’t ourtraged about something? So it’s okay to be permanently outraged, at least if you’re making the high dollars. Todd was outraged last time I talked to him, maybe he’ll post.
As long as I mentioned Rush Limbaugh I might as well mention Apple advertising. See Rush is a big Mac guy who apparently (no confirmation, just something I read) approached Apple about pitching the product. He was (again hearsay) summarily rejected. I think that if the “switch” campaign didn’t work, if the success of the ipod didn’t help AND the new G5 chips haven’t attracted new users well then it might be time to think different.
Why not pay Rush to pitch Macs? Sign Jim Rome as well. What the hell, sponsor a nascar rig and go crazy. Let’s face it, if you’re in the business of selling computers, sell freaking computers. If I’m running a car lot I’m not turning away Pauly Shore fans just because I think Pauly Shore pretty much sucks.
I guess the counter argument would be something about cheapening the brand. You want to keep brand respect high? Keep building a better computer. There is no better, or more lowly compensated, Mac salesman than a current Mac user.
Wow, I need to make up for that rant or the tridiot rating is going to be the equivalent of a Scotch Bonnet pepper on the Scoville scale. The milk to calm that fire? Links:
For some reason I really enjoy this little video. It’s a redub of Queen’s We Will Rock You (not my favorite song) but it’s like watching an interesting stroll, check it out.

I miss Seinfeld. Sure Malcolm in the Middle is great and Arrested Development is top notch but…. Well, I shouldn’t be whining. But I am. So if you miss Jerry’s stuff check out:

Sure, those are some great links. Most people should be well sated. I, however, have saved the best for last:
Yep, that’s pure President Long. And he did it in the time it would take me to sign a check..
