that was nice

i stopped by a verizon in-store kiosk on the way home today and asked carmine about a promo that verizon was running for people who bought the LG Dare. buy the phone, get a free (as in beer) 8gb microSD card for your phone. i wasn't aware of it until i signed up for my employee discount (22% off my bill! AND it applies to anything i buy for my phone too!). i shot our sales rep an email but in no real surprise, he never replied.

so, i talked to carmine and he knew exactly what i was talking about. he looked a few things up but wasn't sure when the promotion started. and he wasn't sure if it was something that would have to be mailed to me or he could give to me. so i patiently waited while he looked things up, talked with a co-worker who wasn't sure, and then he emailed someone who would know. but they were on vacation until the 25th. so he mailed the person covering, and i continued to wait. i was able to find info about the promo, but nothing with a date, so after he assisted 2 other customers, he made an executive decsion - he gave me an 8gb card.

WOO!

so, i now have an 8gb card to put into my phone and i can replace the 2gb i'm currently using that belongs to my mp3 player. so the day ended on a pretty good note after starting out in a pretty rough fashion. i'm still tired as hell, but pleased how the day ended.

thank you carmine of the verizon in-store kiosk :-)

this could prove to be interesting

granted, it's a highly reputable paper reporting this, but this could prove to be an interesting blend. (you may squee now eva)

Lemmy and Page join forces

Published: 18 Jun 2008
ROCK lords LEMMY and JIMMY PAGE got on so famously at the MOJOs afterparty that they decided to swap numbers.

MOTORHEAD frontman Lemmy and LED ZEPPELIN axe maestro Jimmy were deep in conversation during most of the bash and they clearly intended to continue their conflab at a later date.

But their efforts to swap details were hampered by technology — because neither of the ageing duo could use their mobile phones properly.

One amused onlooker revealed last night: "The pair of them spent an age looking both amazed and confused as they attempted to stab contact numbers into their mobiles.

"They looked like two old cavemen discovering some shiny new objects in the forest."

But a monumental Led Zep/Motorhead hook-up may still be on the cards — because the old-timers gave up their struggle with the phones and scrawled their respective digits on beer mats before parting ways.

The party, at the Parker McMillan club, opposite the awards venue, went on long into the night.

NICK CAVE’s dapper band THE BAD SEEDS toasted their Best Album triumph by demolishing a bottle of bourbon between them.
