Tuesday, January 31st, 2006
Is there a website that really annoys you? Well there is a way of venting your anger at such a website.

A new website, www.netdisaster.com provides web surfers, with just what they need. A variety of options to let go of the steam, including throwing virtual cow dung or a meator shower over the website of their choice.

Quite cool, I must confess. So which site would that be?

Ten Reasons Why You Should Date a Geek

Friday, January 13th, 2006

According to a post on Roberst Scoble (employee of Microsoft) his wife her blog and other related articles I made a list of Ten Reasons Why Girls Should Date a Geek.

1. Geeks are useful, they can fix your desktop, laptop, … Those skills are very useful and can make your life run smooth. 2. They are romantic than they’re given credit for. Their idea of romance might be making up a web-page abut about you. But hey it lasts longer than flowers and you can show your friends. 3. They’ve got brains and they’re usually very well educated. 4. They’re relatively low-maintenance. So there will be no complicated dinners needed. And if you’re not the best cook, you can order a pizza. 5. You won’t have to worry about what he’s doing. You’ll probably find him at his computer. 6. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. 7. He will make you shine everywhere you go. No matter how clumsy you sense of style, no matter how awkward your social skills, you’ll be a fashion star and a classy diplomat next to your geek. He’ll make you look so good; you’ll fall in love with yourself. 8. If you are not into computers, TVs and DVD and you don’t care about being popular and fashionable. What about the newest techie gadgets? You are going to be a proud owner of the latest gadgets if you ever decide to date a geek. 9. He won’t cheat on you either. Place the sexiest woman on earth in a room with a geek, say Angelina Jolie. At the other corner of the room, place the latest model of some computer or other. I am willing to bet that your geek would want to play with that computer much more than getting to know Angelina Jolie. In fact, he might not even see her if the computer is on and connected to the Internet. C’mmon he has to check his email, surf the web and blog about the fact that he is in a room with Angelina Jolie. 10.The final reason is: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you.

lead generation

Saturday, January 8th, 2005

A marketing guy walks into a post office one day to send out 100 lead-generating postcards. As he gets ready to post them (expecting to get about 5 new sales leads from them) he sees a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing “Love” stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. Then the man takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, the marketing guy goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing.

The man says: “I’m sending out 100 ‘I-Love-You’ cards. I’ve signed them, ‘Guess who? And I’m putting perfume on them all.”

“But why?” asks the marketing guy.

The man looks at the postcards the marketing guy is holding. ” Just like you, I’m generating some new leads for my business …….. I’m a divorce lawyer.”
