Hewlett Packard - My New Corporate Hero

I forgot to blog this earlier . . .

My camera was replaced in less than seven days by the good folks at HP. I called in the problem and set the wheels in motion that resulted in a glitch-free procedure that put my new phone in my hand in about 5.5 days including a weekend.

I was very impressed with the warranty service.

They've got my business for the next while and I'll be telling anybody who'll listen.

My co-worker already listened and picked up a R717 (digital camera) as well.

We're pretty happy with our HP PSC 2355 All In One printer scanner copier too.

Touched By His Noodly Appendage

There's a site of a new religion that takes on the Intelligent Design concept using this basic premise: As long as we're taking a look at other theories besides evolution please look at mine because it's just as valid! If you haven't already seen this site then go there soon. Of course, if you're a religious zealot then you may find this stuff offensive. But why not go there anyhow, and leave a comment? They are fun reading! The author actually posts all his hate mail. Super profane, violent and hateful. Complete with spelling mistakes. Check it out. You may become a Pastafarian.

Heading for Hawaii

Dex, Deedee and Rumour are heading for Hawaii for a few days. It's a long overdue vacation and the first long time away from home for Rumour. We're staying with friends on lovely Maui. They're dialing in some great activities for us. We'll be heading to their special surf and snorkel spots. Besides the beach, I'm looking forward to a couple of extended dinners out with Deedee where we don't have to rush home or out to some appointment. Rumour will have some nifty child care arrangements. I also want to head up the big volcano and cycle down with the tour. We've booked a convertible to tool around in for a week. Dee and I had a minor skull grind over luggage. Apparently I'm supposed to use a suitcase as opposed to my usual arrangement. I have this nice leather overnighter that I pack full and I add my very versatile backpack (small, little larger than a day pack) to the mix. I dislike the suitcase concept as it requires either a hand on the handle or a hand on the strap. With my gear I can use the shoulder straps to keep my hands free for important things like tickets, newspapers, coffee, Rumour's hand and alcoholic beverages. I don't know why she objected so vehemently to my baggage. I'll try to find out when she's had a meal and a glass of wine or two.
