Hey, Geek Squad, give Linda G. a new laptop
Team Pepper (aka Team AWESOME) captain Mr. Mark has been kind enough to conduct a social media experiment on my behalf, to get Best Buy’s attention. Check out his post and let’s see how far this can go.
THANK YOU, MR. MARK!!!
I think Linda G. Hill deserves a brand new laptop from her local Geek Squad.
Do you want to become part of a grand blogging/social media experiment with me today?
Reblog. Share. See how far we can get this statement out, out, out.
Hereās the back story, as I was reminded by Nano Poblano teammate Linda Gās post Friday.
(From geeksquad.com)
She took her broken laptop to her Geek Squad reps with a battery problem half a year ago. The battery they ordered just came in. It was the wrong battery. They want her to wait around some more.
She wondered in her little story why they donāt give her a new laptop. Take a look at the happy Geek Squad agents in the logo I culled directly from their site above? Donāt they look like they might get on the phone, call headquarters, and get the OK toā¦

Clever Mathematics ;)
Come over to Ann’s Corner and read a clever post!
From an email I received. I rather like ending thought š
CLEVER MATHEMATICS
A farmer died leaving his 17 horses to his 3 sons.
When his sons opened up the Will it read:
My eldest son should get 1/2 (half) of total horses;
My middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) of the total horses;
My youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the total horses.
As itās impossible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other.
So, they decided to go to a farmerās friend who they considered quite smart, to see if he could work it out for them.
The farmer friend read the Will patiently, after giving due thought, he brought one of his own horses over and added it to the 17. That increased the total to 18 horses.
Now, heā¦

The Culture of Now: Microwaves, Instant Messaging, and . . . Lawyers?
What is instant gratification doing to our future generation of professionals? Read this fascinating post and weigh in with your opinion! Note: Comments are disabled here. Please comment on the original post.
Iāve heard that we millennials are a part of the āmicrowave generation.ā We tend to tap our impatient fingers against the kitchen counter while we are waiting for a TV dinner to finish its two minutes and thirty seconds of cooking. Weāre a generation of convenience, but weāve experienced the best of both worlds.
Weāve seen people who took years to build a music career, but weāve also seen overnight YouTube sensations. Weāve experienced everything from letter writing to email to instant messaging. Weāve experienced both dial up and broadband Internet. We might not have as much patience as the generations before us, but in defense of millennials everywhere I must say that we do have at least some form of patience. What concerns me is the instant gratification culture of the upcoming generation.
Now before you exit my page, please understand that I am not bashing a generation. (Iā¦

Stories!
Short fiction collection on sale now!
First, Fauxpocalypse is on saleāfor the next three days itās only 99 cents. Ā Itās a collection of short stories about what happens when the end of the world is predicted and then doesnāt happen.
I have a story (well, a story and a prologue) in it. Ā It was my idea originally, but a number of very talented writers found their own stories to tell in my world.
Itās a mixed bag of stories, some funny, some sad, but all, I think, thought-provoking.
Next, I have a story in the upcoming Sins Of The Past collection. Ā Iāve read through it, and itās an interesting collection of horror stories set in various historical periods.
My own contribution is about a film director in the 1960ās, and it contains references to The Book Of Lost Doors. Ā You donāt have to be familiar with my novels to understand the story, but I think itāsā¦

Grin-worthy Reviews…
Here’s a post that had me grinning! If you haven’t already met Steve, you certainly should take the opportunity now.
All right.
First off, let me tell you that writers LOVE to read reviews. Especially good ones. You have to understand that this is a business where you spend the majority of your time whispering to yourself in front of a computer screen.
All right, so some of you DONāT whisper to yourself ā but I guarantee that you do your best writing all on your lonesome ā thinking ā REALLY LOUDLY ā to yourself.
š
When I read a review I can picture somebody sitting on their favorite chair or on their back deck or on the bus or in the bathtub and reading my words ā whispering to themselves the whole way through ā and grinning.
Itās the grinning part that I like the best.
Letās face it.
At the end of the day the thing that people remember the most about you is how you make themā¦
