Come Crawling Back…

Ok fine blog, looks like you win! I’m back. I figured this is a good place to store my thoughts on digital stuff which is handy to refer back to later so here I come crawling back to you. If our relationship was any more hot and cold I’d think we were dating. I might even post some stuff about the world of evil, by which I mean the PR world. Hehehe, ok maybe it’s not all that bad

So it’s all about Apple again. When is it not? They are relaunching the new ‘n’ improved iPhone along with the launch (again?) of the iPad. There’s a whole section dedicated to it in the Guardian which makes me wonder how many free iPads they got. Is that the cynical PR side of me speaking? Oh, don’t get me started on that darling…

I wouldn’t mind a freebie. Hello, Apple? Didn’t you hear? Online PR is all about bloggers these days. We’re more trusted apparently. It must be true because the shiny infomatics say so.

Needed updating didn’t it?

Hopefully, I’ll get a new laptop with my new job (premature thinking, I know). Laptops are the shiz. They outrank “hot-desking” anyday. Hotdesking just drills home how much of a small and replaceable cog in the big wheels you are - it’s so impersonal, like those nightmarish “paperless office” ideas. I’m not big on paper myself but come on, sometimes you need to use paper. If you work at a company like this it feels like another corporate attempt to suppress personalities and suck any difference out of the employess. Corporate control. And then they complain that they need to hire outside of the company to get fresh ideas in. Well duh…

Also my charger lead isn’t working, it has to be in at a precise angle to charge. And it’s starting to smell like it might catch fire at any moment. And it’s really, really hot. It’s probably not a good sign.

I leave you with this. It explains, a) why I love Italians (I think he’s Italian, I may be wrong) and b) how to get great coverage from apparent “contraversy.” Although it’s not really contraversial at all! Is it even news? Who cares, I like it. I bet the coverage from the story brings in more business than slutty wife poster ever would.

If this were a Daily Mail headline it would be something like, “Sexually Degenerate Immigrant’s Kinky Wife-Swapping Threatens Local Grandmothers”
