Dell's interesting marketing

I recently purchased a new Windows running computer. Please let me tell you, this is not because I no longer love my MacBook, or that I am not in love with the Apple OS. I simply need a machine that can run some applications that are not offered for Apple machines (like Atlas.ti). While shopping for my new computer, I noticed this advertisement. 

So Dell is basically that I can save enough money by choosing a Dell over an Apple that I can buy an Apple product. Interesting. In all fairness, if I was saving $1000 I think I would get the iPad over the iPod touch. Just a thought. But still, does this type of marketing actually work?

Koosh-Bomb!

I'm not a cubicle dweller by nature. Working in the UNC Writing Center, I now find myself in these strange half-walls. I find this division from other people to be problematic to my procrastination and mischievous nature.

In waiting for a student to show up one day, I realized that the small, generic Kooshballs we have around will stick together is you squeeze them. Within a few short minutes, a Koosh-Bomb was formed and cubical warfare was underway.
