Groundhogs, Half Birthdays, New iPhone, King Tut…

Afrika Bambaataa says 6 more weeks of winter!

Afrika Bambaataa says "6 more weeks of winter!"

A few random thoughts for the first post today:

Groundhog Day: Why has nobody monetized this holiday? Maybe I’ll call an emergency phone brainstorming session with Rob Hawthorne, Jeron Howell, and Tony Michael to whip up a master plan for exploiting this magnificently underrated day!

Half Birthdays: OK, confession time – maybe the reason why I’m so big on this “magnificently underrated day” is because it’s my “half-birthday”. It’s exactly 6 months after (and before) my birthday.

How come kids measure their birthday’s by the half year, but adults don’t? You always hear kids tell you they are 4 “and a half” … but you never hear a grown woman say, “I’m 47 and a half!”

New iPhone: I took my 1st Generation iphone in to the Apple store because the camera was acting buggy. They swapped it out on the spot. They didn’t give me any hassle, or rigamaro…just made it right. That’s great service. The “genius” (that’s what the tech guys there are called) was totally cool about the whole thing and didn’t try to figure out a way how it was my fault (even though it very may well have been). He wanted to make sure I was a happy customer. I’m sure I’ll be buying the 3rd Generation iPhone the day it comes out.

King Tut: I’m looking forward to checking out King Tut & a bunch of cool Egyptian artifacts from King Tut’s tomb while it’s in Dallas. Not sure if I will be able to take any pictures or not – doubt it but I’ll try. BTW, I used to bust out the “King Tut” move back in the 80′s when I was a semi-famous breakdancer in Oklahoma City.

Thanks for the subtle props. I too, plan to see Tut. He was definitely the Will Smith of his time. I am excited to see you post your progress and pennances online. I think you have found the key to your personal health and fitness success, and I believe it will be mirrored in your professional life as well. Yes, I am saying the getting in shape will make you money!

Yeah you’re right, I used to say that I am 12 and a half like that but now I don’t say it. As far as iPhone is concerned, I think the new 3GS is the 3rd Generation Phone if I am not wrong? Have you purchased it yet? I was thinking to buy it but then don’t want to get it hehe, but I am impressed by your account of Apple’s Customer Service, perhaps thats why they’re growing up so fast in the mobile market. They’re more than happy to keep a customer rather than find out a fault because of him and lose him forever and he may tell others about it so others may also develop a negative mind about Apple.
