Did you hear about the iPhone girl?!

Well, I did!
A long article linked from Yahoo! (homepage) about a huge buzz going on regarding a new iPhone shipped to a British client with a picture of a girl working in a Honk Kong factory…. Blah blah blah.
Get it? It’s another stunt from Apple, a marketing stunt that is. Creating more and more of the hyped iPhone 3G buzz. Very smart, still I will never change my mind about Apple, now that people finally getting the picture that it’s all just good marketing. I mean great marketing, specially after all the mistakes going on with the 3G and the security hacks it’s been getting.
Apple, I rest my case 😉

Winner of the free eBay brand bag contest

Here is the winner of this contest picked randomly using this tool from a total of 15 entries and they won the bag in the picture below:

The winner is:
Sam, from www.tfcelkton.org and I have contacted them for shipping details.

I would like to say to every hard working person out there that thought I was in my only summer vacation to stop playing in the little league and join the big guys league, make sure to come back here or get the RSS feed of this blog so you don’t miss out on the new upcoming online “FREE” school to teach you how to have the same life style I have, technically I have been on vacation since September of 2007, that’s almost 1 year of minimal work (About an hour a day) and I am making better profit than ever and it just keep growing every day. Again remember to get the RSS feed.

Also I am excited to announce… well I have 3 big announcements in the next 24 hours and I will be revealing each in a post, so get the RSS feed so you won’t miss it: The RSS feed can be found by clicking here.

Now, I have one more thing about this contest, I have another bag (exact same bag) that I was intending to give away as well in another contest, but one of the comments on this contest grabbed my attention it was from: Fajar Jasmin of sanewords.wordpress.com and here is a copy of the comment:
I want that bag because such bright combination of colours will attract
my son who happens to have autism. It will help to soothe him when he
has his tantrum. I couldn’t afford to buy necessary study aids for him
because I myself have an HIV. See http://sanewords.wordpress.com for my story :)

As I always intended for this blog to be all about good things, I decided to send that second bag to Fajar along with another item that might grab his son’s attention as well, and hope for his cure, but before I send it, I would like to offer for any one who would like to add anything into the bag to be sent to Faraj and his son as well, to please email me back through the contact form if they want to send Fajar anything, and I will make arrangments to send it all to him in the same shioment.
I have to metion that I have never met Fajar before and I have no previuos relationship with him, I understand his situation because I know a friend that teaches in an autistic children school, and that’s why I decided to offer help. I will be sending the items to him in a week, so please contact me before then if you would like to help as well.
