I’m a Mac, I’m a PC, I’m an advert…

Geek Speak

I’m not ashamed to admit it: I like the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” advertisements. Some of them are silly, and some of them are downright hilarious.

Personally, my favourite one is the one where the Vista security guard keeps asking for permission to do things (”Cancel or allow?”), which if you are not familiar with, you can see here:

(The above link is a *.MOV. You’ll need Quicktime.)

There is a new one that just kills me. The PC guy is hiding in a pizza box in an effort to lure college students over so he can “get them”. The way he keeps popping out of the box is amusing, but I laughed out loud at his last line: “…come eat me… I’m a delicious pizza…”. Totally appeals my warped sense of humour. Check it out:

Some may claim that I am an Apple fanboy… and I guess I am. It’s hard to not be one when you appreciate such great products.   :-D

Pat & Jen’s housewarming

Daily Shots

Tonight we headed out to Mississauga for Pat and Jen’s housewarming. It was good times, with me being fascinated with a certain book that Pat was recently given. Also, Molly looks lovely in the firelight. :-)

Greedy guts

Daily Shots

Every evening, we feed the cats soft food for dinner. We even got them trained to know that they eat it on the climber; Coconut on the top level and Pashmina on the middle level.

It’s something I’ve noticed before, but after Coconut is done eating his soft food dinner in his green bowl, he’ll jump down to the middle level of the climber and eat whatever Pashmina has left behind in her pink bowl. What a pig-cat!
