I can’t help but feel like I’ve abused the good ranking I get with this blog on Google, but when I complained about the stress ball I had that squirted over my shirt (the Morf ball), I didn’t expect to get a response from the company. I certainly didn’t expect this kind of response.

We came across your web log regarding our Morf Ball. We are sorry to hear of the trouble you encountered with it leaking. As a result, we’d love to send you a complimentary Cyber Gel Squeeze Ball, our other popular stress reliever. Rest assured, this item will not explode or leak. Please provide us with your shipping address, and I will have them sent out to you ASAP.

Naturally I’ll take them up on the offer. This is a new level of customer service. Not only are they going to replace a product, but they searched me out. Take a look at their site and order anything that catches your eye.
After recently hinting that I had something big to share, the time has come to let everyone know what it is. Macworld has taken me on as one of two regular contributers to their new MacUser blog. This is an incredible opportunity and I couldn’t be happier to be involved with this project.
I’ll be writing extremely regularly over there, though the pieces will be much, much shorter compared with my pieces here. I will be writing the occasional extended rant on MacUser, but nothing compared to here.
The downside is that as a side effect, my posting here will probably continue at its current slow pace. I originally intended to post daily here, but I’ve since figured out that’s not quite my style and I was always searching for something to comment upon, even when there wasn’t anything that really interested me. I also didn’t want to write one liners because my analysis seems to garner much more positive attention.
At any rate, check the site out if you’re interested in or use Macs. I hope to see some comments!
I haven’t thought of any resolutions, other than to stop being prematurely mysterious when hinting about announcements.
What are yours? Have any suggestions for me?

Being the vain man that I am, I google myself every once in a while. I feel the compulsion, if for no other reason because I’m afraid of Derik Farnsworth overtaking me, then coming to my house to call me a girly man.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that there was a story about me as a camel. I know everyone thinks of me as a camel because I have foul breath and spit a lot. Ha ha. Seriously though, the story is priceless as is the following repeated phrase.
Derik, Derik, has no hump. Derik, Derik, what a chump!
It’s official. I have no hump and I am a chump.

Merry Christmas to all the Christians in the audience. I hope you find your hopes and dreams under the tree.
Hopefully I’ll have a big announcement to share with y’all soon.
