Brent’s Thoughts

I read through this article and thought that he has some really interesting stuff. It is funny to see him act like he does on the show and then to hear how he talks in real life.

I wish I had Penny Arcade’s readership. I would love to use it for cool things like getting myself a discount on some of the new Apple merchandise that is out.

Hey if anyone from Apple cares, all I want is one of the new 17″ iMacs for less than $1000. I promise that I will give you all the free advertising that I can muster.

Seriously though, it is pretty wrong of Gabe to post that crap on the main site. There are a lot of people out there lusting for this hardware right now (I don’t know if I am lusting really, but anyway) and it sucks that no one else is going to get that discount. It isn’t really Gabe’s fault that he gets the discount, but it is preferential treatment and he might have wanted to keep that to himself.

Also in the interest of full disclosure, I can get a small discount on getting one of their machines, through the school. On the computer that I linked to I get $100 off.

Upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.0, most of the changes are in the interface I use to post, so I don’t think everyone will see a difference.

I did change to the builtin spam filtering, so maxx might actually be able to post without me having to approve it everytime. Why don’t you try that out buddy?
