Gimcracks

I got a slew of hits due to that Lady Gaga pic. I don't know whether to be pissed or post another one to get my hit count up.

I went to a Samsung Galaxy Tab event, aka Nerd Central, in the city Friday night,. One dude was dressed up as a pikachu. I kid you not. What's a pikachu? Here you go. Maybe it'll help my hit count.


They were giving away phones and Tabs, Samsung's version of the iPad. including the new 10.1. Most of the guys there were besides themselves, given the possibility of winning one. I was there for grins. I guess that's why I won a Tab. My kids were real nice to me when I got home. I should put it on eBay.

Staying with the technology theme, you hear a lot about the cloud these days. Since I'm an avid gambler investor, I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I bought some Nimbus and Cumulus call options last week.

This weekend is the Foster City Arts and Wine Festival. I was walking around there in the rain yesterday morning. Good times. I really don't understand the vendors that drag their useless shit from venue to venue. Can you really make a living that way?

We had a meeting recently to discuss our upcoming Peru trip. I realize the only reason I was invited was because I can string five or six Spanish words together while gesticulating wildly.

Did you know that Deepak Chopra has produced several albums of music? Who knew? One of his compositions came on the radio a while back. It made me switch the station to Oldies 103.7.

If you are wondering what Rod Blagojevich is up to lately, check this out. My take is that cat needs to fire his lawyer and hire a psychiatrist.
