Google Chrome OS a Threat?

I had my people obtain (by means I cannot admit to) from the Google Labs a model of the new Google OS and even better than that, the platform they plan on running it on! It's a radical new design slate computer! Sure enough it browses the internet, runs Google-Apps, has a task bar, prints and has a true chrome interface!
I will withhold judgement right now but I am not shaking in my boots over competition from this thing! I could be wrong, what do you guys think?

Choose Zune and Free FSB streets


I had to get back to Redmond right away after the Staples Center debacle because my information officer said an entire neighborhood on the southside a few blocks away from Vista Chapel Church of Windows said they wanted to honor me for our neighborhood outreach programs.
We "adopted" the hood and supply them with free Vista licenses, discounts on Microsoft programs, Wednesday night defrag sessions and free tech support! These people are some of my blog's most rabid supporters!
When I got there I was surprised, they renamed two streets in my honor! They gave me a plaque commemorating the event! I was moved to tears, Bill-Girl could not stand and had to stretch out in the grass! They had a Barbeque afterwards and Lawdy Lawdy! You would not believe the ribs! The ribs! The ribs were totally off the chain! I must have eaten seven pounds! We partied to Balm and Jackson Five music until after midnight!
Geez! Po' folk can have a good time! I'll still keep my money though, thank you very much!

Outside Staples!


You would think a guy as powerful as me would be able to just walk into the Jackson memorial, no tickets, wristbands, invitation? Well that's how it usually works; I just go, am recognized and am escorted to the front row. This did not happen at the Jackson memorial!
I explained to those minimum wage security people just who I was! They did not seem impressed, Bill-girl flirted with them, they did not seem impressed, I flashed a ten-dollar bill, they did not seem impressed!
Finally, one of them said, "Hey, you are that guy who makes Vista!"
I smiled and said; "Now ya got it Peebo!"
He smiled back at me and said, "You sir and your friend here will have to stand outside! Positively no admittance!"
I was miffed, but Bill-Girl reminded me that going through this was worth it to honor the memory of Jacko. I agreed, I said, "Yeah, I was his personal tech-support. I remember all those times I went out to NeverLand to clean up some virus on his solid gold Toshiba! Sniff - he taught me to moonwalk."
Even standing in a huge crowd of the "public" is worth honoring such a great entertainer and XP-user.
Jacko, you have been reformatted, rest in peace!

Michael, Michael, Michael!

You Can't Please Everybody!


I was sent this one by some anonymous source. It's some guys, somewhere, in some country, protesting something they don't like about me, my blog, my company, my statements, my attitude, .... etc. The point is that there is always a protest against me going on somewhere!
I concluded a loooong time ago that I would never be able to please everybody with anything I do. So I just do whatever I think is right and let the chips fall were they may.
I do care however when someone burns my image! I figure that whatever their gripe is it must be pretty serious, probablly not legitimate but serious.
Does anyone recognise enough to at least know where this is?
I know that none of you would have been there, but they apparently know about my blog.

The Borgnine Mistake


How did this happen?
Well as near as I can figure it, the other day I was at the computer trying to get rid of a few nasty viruses, when I heard my wife say, "Ernest Borgnine just passed honey, it's on NBC." This distredded me in that I am a genuine fan, so naturally I went to the archives and dug up the now infamous photo of he and I and posted it to flickr.
Several of you have pointed out that you could not confirm my report, so I went to bing.com and found that I could not either. At first I thought "the internet must be broken!" But it turns out that the internet is fine, it's me who is broken!
I had a theory: I went back to my wife, showed her a picture of Carl Malden (who just passed, great guy!) she looked at it and said "poor Ernest."
DANG! DANG! DANG IT!
PLEASE BELIEVE ME! This was not a joke or stunt! It was an honest mistake, a terrible one, but an honest one! Again I apologise.

Even the world's greatest fake blogger is not always correct!
The Borgnine shot has gone back into my archives, hopefully not to be used again for a very long time.

Call To My Grassroots!


On March 1, Flickr deleted the FSB Stream and over 180 of my photos! Those works were irreplaceable art! In response I established the Free FSB Campaign Group which is now approaching 800 strong! But my brothers and sistahs, we need several times that many in order to implement project "Wide Swath"! So we are getting back to the grassroots! Pressing the flesh baby!
How soon we forget such atrocities! Remember people! Get up! Get up!
If they could do this to the fake leader of Microsoft, they could do it to anybody at will!
Their answers to my accusations - Silence!
WHAT TO DO?
I would like for every fan, Free FSB member, friend, admirer of this stream and/or my blog to invite every last person in your contacts list to join the Free FSB Campaign!
We shall send a message into the heart of these cowards!
ARE YOU WITH ME PEOPLE? Are yah? huh?
Tell Flickr "This far! No further! Today we draw a line in cyberspace! We are bringing all our friends too! Freedom shall be restored! Artistic expression, irony, taste.... shall not perish from the Internet!
Yes, they may delete us all!
But what a glorious end it shall be! Do ya wanna' live forever people!
Get to it, invite every last one you know! Let's cut this Wide Swath through Flickr!

The Zunetta Show!


Bill-Girl saw how I was treated by NBC so she has asked me to be on her show again. I told her, "Sorry darling, I'm a big-timer! Your show is a local thing and I have done it once, I can't do that kind'a thing too often!"
She was visiblly upset with me so I told her, "Tell you what, I'll advertise your show on my blog! My Flickr culters will push you too! You need some exposure! If one of the major networks pick you up I'll be glad to be a guest a few times a year!" She beamed with happiness, she said, "You mean you will actually put an ad for my show on YOUR FSB BLOG!?"
I responded, "What is family for? We may even displace Oprah!"

The NBC Interview


I came on that NBC "News show" to talk about Bing.com, the rise of the Zune and my Man of the year award, but naturally being NBC the whole thing was a trap! I found myself sitting between Hellary and John "cheat on my dieing wife" Edwards, in other words, I was in hell!
Of course we only got around to talking about Bing when Hellary suggested a "search engine tax. " The proceeds of which she said "would go to correcting the ecological damage to the Earth caused by search engines."
Edwards argued that the Earth could only be "healed" by an "iPod/Zune/iPhone tax." He said that it would repair the "Technology Rift" in the Cro-zone layer, a phenomena recently discovered by Latvian Scientist.
When I said that neither problem really existed they both accused me of being an uncaring industrialist who should be taxed for not caring about the Earth! At that point they both started ignoring me. No matter what I did they paid no attention! I started making faces, mussing John's hair, making tiger like motions at Ms Clinton. I was just ignored!
When will I ever learn not to go on NBC? Sheesh!

Goodnight Michael and Farrah!


This last evening of the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival we all got the shocking news of the death of the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson! This has totally bummed me out! I was flying pretty high, I was named the Advertising Man of the Year, bing is doing Zunetastic, stock is up, .... but the death of muh' man Jacko has got me down!
I remember back in college when I used to go to his concerts, I would moonwalk all the way back to the dorms, I even still have my sequined socks!
Jacko meant a lot to me, he was part of my growing up, I played his music in my band.
We will all miss you Michael! Say hello to Billy Jean and Farrah for me.

PostCard From Cannes!

Michael Jackson Rest In Peace!


I am moved right now, all I can do is sit back and listen to all of my old Jackson 5 albums.
