Alienware Launches Back to School 2008

Another year, another dollar? Another year, another fragger! Another year, another student with a kick ass gaming notebook sent to college to earn degrees, get good grades, and get laid! PWND!

Alienware's PC Gaming Season is put to rest with the launch of a Back to School campaign for 2008 it seems. Low and behold all systems now carry Free Shipping. (I can hear the readers going opening new tabs fleeing to www.alienware.com/backtoschool) This is actually very pleasing since it's usually about one Benjamin note to get a system shipped with peripherals. I'm not sure where they made that calculation from but hey free is free.

There are other deals if you're looking for some, they have three bundles with savings that are under $100 but its still a deal I guess.

1. Mobility bundle - an Alienware Orion backpack and 160GB portable USB HDD
   
2. Blogger bundle - Microsoft's Office 2007 Home 7 Student edition + Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements
3. Media bundle - Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX speakers + Alienware Ozma5 headphones

So the bundle savings aren't anywhere as good as the free shipping but I guess everything counts when you add it up. It would've been cool if I would have all of this Alienware gear when I was in school. Maybe I would've had better grades, maybe I would have never graduated...it's hard to tell...

Blogosphere Behavior (Funny)

This is hilarious. I found this video after checking out my work friend's blog at http://airbourneinforums.blogspot.com/.



Even though this cracked me up I can't believe how true a lot of these things are. I'm not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing but I'm certain the topic is open for discussion in many English classes in high schools and colleges right now.

Change is good.

At this rate things will never be the same. I'll be turning 29 in September. The end of my twenties. Sure lots of people say that the 30s are really cool. But who are those people? Don't get me wrong I appreciate change. My head nods when people say "change is good" or "embrace change." I don't have a problem.

The funny thing is that change can occur for several reasons. Humor me while I create this subset of reasons:

• time
• A decision is made
• chance

We're all way too familiar with time so I won't spend any time on that one - with time your fountain soda will get full and your crows feet will get large. There's also chance, which is what happens when it starts raining, you get a flat tire, and whatever you were going to do next is now in the hands of time or an outside force. What I find most interesting is change by making a decision. Here time and chance are completely uninvolved. Like if I quit my job and went on a 6 week walkabout with some friends in South America. That would make for change by decision and would specifically address a behavior not likely once into the 30s or so I'm lead to believe.

So I have no choice but to train myself to welcome the upcoming time frame, it's implications, joys and consequences.

Claiming the Blog

Apparently Technorati is an Internet Authority among the Blog webspace. I found it'd be interesting to "register and claim" my blog - whatever that means, as I don't have full understanding of it yet.

It doesn't sound bad though.
