Memory Construct

Memory Construct irememberthetowers.com is attempting to "rebuild the towers from memory." Worth seeing, both for concept and design.

Marketing Gimmicks Dept.

Marketing Gimmicks Dept. I am now the proud owner of a free Windows XP Pro Lava Lamp... it came along with my $40 channel reseller kit, which also inluded a full copy of Window XP Pro. The lamp was a bonus. And you wonder how MS can spend so much on marketing.

(Pictures are thanks to someone who thought to sell the lamp on Ebay and make back 25% of the money paid for XP. Like a moron, I left the battery to my digital camera in the charger at my parent's house during Thanksgiving, and now it's 200 miles away.)

Understanding Liz

Understanding Liz There's always a new toy at my boyfriend's apt. It's either the new PC he built, the new digital camera/camcorder he bought, or the Xbox that's on the UPS truck. Luckily, we live two hundred miles apart and he can tear himself from his toys for an hour each day to talk to me. Don't get me wrong, the toys are great...but when you've been hearing about them one month prior to purchase, two weeks during purchasing/shipping, and months after purchase, you need a time out.

Today is Xbox Day. Stay tuned to another special toy delivery day next month. The process is starting to overlap and I'm already hearing about new things before this one has even arrived. Lucky me.

Xbox Day

Xbox Day We're back. Fixed some DNS problems, no thanks to the unhelpful folks at Register.Com. Guys, try answering any of your customer support email. We're not sending it for fun.

Today is Xbox day at my household. It's now reached the sacred out for delivery status on the UPS tracking page. UPS could charge for that tracking page... it's like cyber-crack for those of us who order online.
