Mac Owner
I am now the happy owner of a Macbook. I learned to use a computer years (and years, and years ago) on an Apple IIE, and so it is nice to finally own a Mac.
Unfortunately, I have found a downside.
You may have noticed a lack of posts lately. Well the reason I haven’t posted lately is due to 2 things. One I am two weeks from my due date for the birth of my second child. And, two, the biggest issue. Is that I can’t use Live Writer on my Mac…of course not – since is a Microsoft Windows product. Apparently Ecto is a “ok” product for Mac. So I downloaded the “trial” version (unlike Live Writer you have to pay for it!) but I can’t get the darn program to connect to my blog. So, I am back on my old laptop to post this blog! I refuse to post directly on my blog, I miss my Live Writer.
Maybe I should have bought a Dell! Seriously, I might just consider purchasing a program that allows me to parallel my mac to Windows OS just so I can use Live Writer.

iRant iPhone
Jul 12, 2008 Advertising, Customer Service, Retail Marketing
There is a lot of talk about the iPhone around the world, with the launch of the new 3G phone. In Canada, a lot of the talk is negative. Not about Apple or he iPhone itself – that would be scandalous! The negative is about one of Canada’s largest telecom companies- Rogers.
Now I could go into a rant about the numerous flubs this company has done in the past with regards to the iPhone launch. I could talk about lack of information, high data package pricing, gouging customers because they can, and then the back pedaling with a new “deal”. I could rant about how I absolutely despise contracts, especially 3 year ones, and why. I could complain about how Rogers is using their monopoly over the iPhone in Canada to take iPhone customers for a ride… I could also point out all the bad marketing decisions Rogers has made during this escapade likely making a number of potential customers run for their competitors.
Instead I think Omovo blogger (my brother) is right. Sometimes Puppet’s say it best.

You Tube Star
Jul 9, 2008 Marketing & Communication, word of mouth
First time I have appeared on a YouTube Video. I have posted videos before but usually they are my son doing something cute. This video was posted by One Degree as a follow-up to the CMA Word of Mouth Conference – From Mass to Grass.
I personally dislike seeing and hearing myself on camera, but it was neat to see that I was YouTube. 37 views and counting!
