My Apple is Broken, and Also I Got Married

Dominic PaceSo here is some information:

1) My Mac is down for the count, which means I have a hot date with the Apple Store this afternoon. If they can’t immediately fix it, I’ll be like, “Oh man! C’mon, try again.”

2) This non-Mac-having is severely crippling, and pretty much couldn’t come at a worse time, considering the WSM? site is supposed to open tomorrow, and the first teaser is out next Tuesday.

3) I like to talk about my computer problems in a public forum, so that other people will have sympathy, and then like they will tell all their friends about how strong I am in the face of the ultimate adversity.

3a) I bought a houseboat over the weekend, and now I live on it with my hot new wife, who I just met. She was the one selling the houseboat, and I was like, “Hey, do you come with the houseboat – ” and then she was like, “Yes,” and then I was like, “Man, that seems like a weird deal – do all of the houseboats at this water vehicle store come with hot girls to marry – ” and she was like, “Yes.”

4)If you look in the sidebar there, you’ll notice I’ve written a new (free) book, and also provided a backdoor into the the WSM? site.

5) If this first technology crisis wasn’t bad enough, I was in the local T-Mobile Action Center over the weekend, and found out I’m not actually a free agent until JUNE. (I thought it was November.)

What’s the worst adversity you’ve ever faced, and on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being “toughest”) how tough were you in the face of the adversity from the first part of the sentence.

Also, do you think if they renamed them T-Mobile Action Centers, that more people would switch to T-Mobile, and why or why not.

(Don’t forget the WSM? Facebook Page – it’s the only place you’ll be able to access the first teaser next Tuesday.)

  • I dont want a picture of Merri Sherman as my avatar... wtf
  • Then upload one of your own, pal.

    You know who really wants T-Mobile to change the name of their stores to T-Mobile Action Centers?
    Tracy McGrady's agent.

    I have a new iPhone feature you should consider. Since my last software update, my voice mail is now delayed. Sometimes it's two hours, sometimes it's two days. It's awesome. Been to ATT&T twice and Apple store once. (Fun fact, when you're at the counter at the Glendale Apple store, if you turn around, you see the M-A-C store across the way. The sell make-up or something.)
  • don't act like you don't know what the M-A-C store is you old queen...

    Fausto Carmona FTW!
  • That actually sounds like something I could really get behind. I haven't checked my VM in like forever.

    btw do you like how I sabotaged non-avatar havers.
  • TVBrain
    But I had an avatar. It was some blurry pic of the moon from my phone, and it was sideways.
  • I do like that! I was wondering how people I've never seen here before have 23 Sherman as their picture.
  • 9.

    i like paper books, but it looks like there won't be one for PTAM because of all the clicky links. this equals a sad face.
  • I had the same Reaction! LOL!!
  • LOL!

    What.
  • I was replying to @alexiskn
    LOL

    Did you really get married? Is the houseboat as cool as Brad Radby's movie? Smh.
  • It's only 30 pages and the hyperlinks inside render a paperback version ineffective. :/
  • Yes, I'd go.

    I'm a free agent as of September 10th - and just found out that our parent company gets us serious discounts on service and phones - so the iPhone might be too tempting to pass up. Unless you have incredible things to say about something else with a fantastic browser - I've seen the blackberry's and I wasn't too impressed. Palm Pre? Sprint?
  • Ok, so I went to Sprint's site, checked out the pricing, and suddenly a chat screen popped up and "Jessica" told me she was a specialist and wanted to know if I had any questions. I closed it and immediately closed the tab. Creepy.
  • I've not used the Pre, but RIM did just buy some company that is supposed to overhaul and upgrade their browsers significantly. Definitely not soon enough for your deadline.
  • So I wonder if I should get an agent to field all of the offers and keep the press at bay while I make my decision. Are you planning to get one? You might fetch more on the market.

    T-Mobile, of course, already knows I'm disgruntled, no matter how many google-phone sales pitches it makes.
  • I'm gonna need to see some wedding pics on Facebook before I offer a congratulations.
  • The connection here on the houseboat is not good for pic uploads. Wait until we dock.
  • You mean you haven't docked with your new wife yet -
  • I can't tell if the part about you getting married is a joke or not.
  • The houseboat runs on pure, unfiltered love.
  • Clayton
    Seriously? You're a married man now? Whoa!

    Congrats sir! Best wishes!

    ...sorry about yer puter! Know that can be frustrating, I imagine especially so when it's work related.

  • I already told you this on Twitter, but the reason your Mac broke is because it rebelled like a bad son when your mom bought a new one.
    The longest I've kept prescription drugs after a valid medical treatment is 3 years and 2 months (just looked at my prescription date). I'm thinking of asking for a refill.
  • Oddly enough, this is the perfect answer to my questions.
