My ABC segment has finally come out, and I didn’t sound like too much of a dork. Which is good. Although, I really like how they transcribed me, re: Facebook:

“And it’s segmented by college so you’re not going to bump into people from other schools so you can collaborate on projects and find out who that cute boy in their math class is and it’s kind of a closed community.”

When you take a phrase out of a longer ramble, it doesn’t make as much sense. Apparently I also speak without punctuation. Hah!

From now on I will write the way I talk so that you can’t tell where one sentence ends and the other begins and then you will really get a feel for how I communicate to people on a day to day level and so that’s it I hope I do better next time but I’m much happier with the piece than I originally thought I would be so that’s pretty good I guess.

P.S. The new iMacs and Mac minis have come out today. Ryan and I tried to get to the Apple Store this morning to take pictures, but they had the audacity to not be open at 8:45 AM. Bastards!

From The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs:

Even the usually reverent dweebs at CNET are taking shots at me now. First this hot chick Veronica Belmont calls me “old mad dog Steve Jobs” and does a bake-off video and chooses a Toshiba Gigabeat over our iPod. Um, right. But I gotta say, Veronica, you are a very attractive young woman. Really. Put it this way. There’s a couple of things I noticed about you right away. Not saying that’s why CNET put you on their “TV show.” I’m sure it had more to do with your years of journalism experience and your deep engineering background. Not to mention that cute little accent where you can’t pronounce the letter T in the middle of words like “button” and “important.” Check it out. Sort of an American cockney or something. If you weren’t ripping on my product, I might actually call you up and invite you over for an interview. Guess you blew it.

But that’s not all from CNET. They’re also breaking my stones for not putting out new iPods fast enough. Year or so ago people were bitching that we were cranking out new models too quickly. Now too slow. People, get your story straight.

Snap! Taking potshots at my “journalism experience and deep engineering background,” eh? Guess what, Steve? I’m not a journalist, nor do I claim to be. However, I do know what sounds good, looks good, and has the best bang for its buck.

But thanks for the compliments, you’re not too shabby yourself

My video Prizefight on CNET has done really well, and so I’m going to be doing them almost weekly! What are some products you would want to see “duke it out to the death?” Anything, as long as it’s not an iPod.

Niall is featured in today’s bLaugh. Hilarious, considering just last night after Blowfish Sushi, Eric told Niall that he should just coach soccer for a living. Ryan sez: “It would have been a lot more effective if he was headbutting.”

Anyhow, I also brought up the topic of “favorite flash animations.” The top picks of the group where:
Peanut Butter Jelly Time
