Apple vs PC ads: Great marketing

I gotta say, those Apple vs PC ads are great.  It is the first time since Apple came out that they are “facing the boogie man” and really putting the presure on the PC market to come and try out an Apple computer.  More power to them.

For me, the best part is that they have done a couple of great things with this campaign.  First off, they are fighting with a foe that won’t fight back, because the PC industry is large, and has no one leader.  Heck, Apple uses intel chips, so it isn’t like Intel is going to take the other side, and Microsoft, well… they have a huge percentage of the total PC market and have no reason to fight back… plus they don’t sell hardware.

The other things they have done is remove the discussion of price.  Apple computers typically price out higher than a PC based laptop, and the PC laptop market has many choices of brands, configurations, and setup.  Apple goes on about their included things like cameras and such (most recent commercials), not realizing that again, PC owners have plenty of money left and many choices in the marketplace.

Like I said, these ads are totally amazing… Apple is fighting a ghost, and looking all tough while doing it.  Sort of like beating up a straw man.

2007 starts with updates and toys

Well, 2007 is upon us, and I am already hard at work.  I made a bit of an update in design and layout for All Porn Links, so now the fresh new sites are right on page one and easy to find.  I had a number of people ask for it, so I figured I would give it a shot and see.  I hadn’t updated the layout or design for quite a while, so it’s all good as far as I can tell.

I also got me some new toys to play with, including Autobloggerpro (kewl tool) and a new color and layout tool.  Just waiting for my very good hosting company (Colo-cation hosting) to get a few little doo-dahs installed to make this all run, and I will be off to the races.  For the most part, this will mean I will have a bunch more great blogs and daily things to post around for everyone to enjoy, which is a good thing.  Stay Tuned!

I am also adding some new membership sites and links to my link lists.  There are a number of new programs and sites I haven’t touched before, and I am adding them in and letting you guys go have a look.  Give me your opinions, I would like to knows (you can send to rawalex at hotmail if you like).  You can check the new membership sites listings on Findpics Free Porn if you are curious.

I also set up a new big tits TGP, Big Bust Babes.  Nice big titty galleries, and links to other big titty TGPs.  A nice one.

Enjoy!

2006 soon to be in the past

Just like many others, I guess I am due a year ender post.  It’s only the 28th, but considering my current posting rate here, I better do it now, right?

Anyway, 2006 has been an interesting year for me.  As I was born in the year of the dragon, most of 2006 has been made difficult because this is the year of the dog (until early February, dammit!). Dogs are the only sign that scares dragons, and dog years are usually pretty tough on dragons (and I know a couple, and we all have the same results this year).  However, like a boxer that loses a couple of rounds in a long fight, I am getting my strength and energy back and after a little more rope-a-dope, I will be back swinging.

2006 was the year that brought many great girls ot the web too.  My personal favorite is Lily Koh, a totally sexy thai teen that makes me drool.  Sweet, petite, and (just about) a virgin, this girl came right out of the countryside and brought her sexy good looks with her.  No hardcore, no fucking, nothing like that… just a freaking hot girl that will be in your dreams for a long time to come.

The Jordan Capri Hardcore Honeymoon of course was big in 2006 as well, and rumor has that the next part of the movie will be released soon… and it includes Jordan Capri taking a major cumshot on her ass!  Yowsa!

Other good things in 2006 has been my blog site Latest Movies.  News, reviews, and links… more and more people come in there daily looking for stuff and finding it.  Before you go out the the movies, check out what’s up on putaface.com!

Tons more stuff… but I gotta get back to work… stay tuned, maybe I will get more before the week is out!

More Jordan Capri and other stuff

First off, the next part of the Jordan Capri Hardcore Honeymoon is out… so if you are a lover of fine amateur girls doing what they shouldn’t, or are just a dirty voyeur like me, then click here to check out Jordan Capri.  It’s nice stuff.  Hand held camera stuff, but still… nice 🙂  Certainly a great way to start your day off!

Also, a whole bunch of new sites out this week… one in particular that is going really well is Virgin Teen Lesbians.  Now, let me make this clear… all the girls on this site are not virgins, and some of them don’t look to be really very teen either, but the action is decent and well, heck, why not?   The premise is a girl who gets invited by a friend to “take some pictures” or whatever, not realizing that the friend has a real lesbian crush on her.  The action is darn good, particularly a bunch of strapon and dildo play here… Click here to Virgin Teen Lesbians .

I have been working on some offline stuff as well, so some of the blogs are a little behind.  But things should pick up to normal again this week as we fly headlong into the whole holiday period.  Happy and Merry and Joyous whatever turns you on

The twists and turns of real life

It can be really fun trying to juggle about 100 things, especially when 90 of them are just soul sucking wastes of time.  Things like Government paperwork, domain renewals, and back side maintenance of sites that I don’t think anyone would really ever notice but drive me bonkers.   Combine that with a slight case of ADD, and you have chicken-wht-head-cut-off syndrome hard at it.

Anyway, i continue to work on a number of things.  Pornpig is rolling well, with over 3000 blog entries over there and growing all the time.  If you are interested in porn or porn people, this is a darn good place to find some interesting stuff everyday.  If you are a webmaster with interesting stuff, then contact me, because more is always good 🙂

Findpics Free Porn is updated daily with fresh new free sites, membership sites, and live cam sites.  If you are looking for porn, then this is a good place to start!

ALso, don’t forget to check out my newish Asian TGP site…. Asian Amatuer Sex has some nice hardcode and softcore galleries.

UPDATE:  The second set of pics from the Jordan Capri Honeymoon Video are out, and they are damn hot.  This fine amateur really seems to love the cock, ya know?

Enjoy it… more news soon!

162… the bottom

Well, I just wanted to update this section… I had forgotten to put a final and closing update here so I figure I will add this and maybe one more post later…

I weighed in at 162 this morning.   Having started this whole this somewhere around 195, I would have to say that I rank up there are a success.  As time has gone on I have slowly let a middling amount of carbs back in my life, but Atkins certainly has changed me for good, I think.  I don’t eat potatoes, fries, things like that.  I still remove about half the bun from a hamburger, and I don’t eat the outside crust when I have pizza. Sugary drinks are gone, never to come back.  I am sure that Pepsi and Red Bull has both suffered a sales hit as a result of my dropping of them off the list.

I haven’t been eating as well recently as I had in the past, but I have been monitoring my weigh closely to make sure it doesn’t creep up, keeping things basically anywhere from 161 to 165 depending on the day and various other bodity function related deals.  Consistantly checking my weight and paying attention to the fit of clothes is keeping me motivated, and much of the stuff has become habit, so I don’t even think about it.

It worked for me, and it could work for you… heck, I could even have a pizza from Coronet Pizza in St Laurent to celebrate… kewl!

I found out I’m not a racing fan anymore

Well, at least I don’t think I am a fan of major american racing series anymore.  Today is the last day of the NASCAR season.  The championship race.  It all comes down to this, and I can’t be bothered to even turn the TV on.  I would rather clean the gutters on the house or do graphics work than waste the time.  Last week was the end of the champcar season, and I had the same feeling.  I would say that almost without a doubt, I am no longer interested.

According to the TV ratings, I am not alone in turning NASCAR off.  Viewership in the US is off by about 10% this year from what I can tell, and many of the races have seats available on race day, walk up and buy a ticket on race day.  2 years ago you would have had to kill people to get tickets to most of the races.

There is little innovation, nothing new… 50% of the races are run on cookie cutter track that, except for the skyline in the background, could all be the same track.  The entire race often hinges on who can save gas to avoid a pitstop or who put the right 1/4 pound of air in that right front tire.  480 miles of nothing to get 20 miles of racing, in a series who’s point system rewards average and doesn’t give anyone a real reason to win.  The artificial “race to the chase” and “the chase” tries very hard to create some tension and stop run away seasons, but all it does is turn 33 drivers into lame ducks too scared to race anyone in the top 10, and turns the top 10 in boring bots too scared to race in case they screw up their average points finish.

When racing stops rewarding winning, people stop wanting to win.  They race for points, they race for scoring better than average, and all they do is aim to be slightly better than average, because that is all it takes.  Make the chase, and even at 10th place, you are only 50 points behind. 23% of the drivers make the chase, so you only have to be in the 77th percentile to make it in.

Champcar and the IRL are no better at this point.  Champcar is packed full of no-names and lame brains, unsponsored cars, stupid street races on tracks so tight nobody can pass without a major incident, and short fields that would make my local circle track cancel a class for lack of competitors.  IRL has the names and the Indy500, but a bunch of other cookie cutter races and all the competition of a pin the tail on the donkey contest.

I still enjoy F1 from a totally technical stand point, I enjoy how strategy, driver skill, and the choices of others all interplay.  But that is a sport of billionaires… and it is pretty hard to swallow at times.

Too bad… I really use to enjoy racing. 🙂

Of things small and minor…

First off, happy birthday to me… I turned a shocking (and some would say impressive) 42 on Thursday.  Quiet day, fielded some phone calls and emails from the well wishers (thanks!), and generally played it cool.   42 is suppose to be the answer to life, the universe, and everything, so here is to seeing if it fact it is true.

My birthday present is that my main desktop here got a prety solid upgrade, now up to a core2 duo processor(s) and a nice GEForce 7300GT video card, which certainly has improved the view from over here.  The thing is a beast, and runs pretty much everything like salsa through a goose.  It’s a nice way to celebrate getting older, I guess, by making your tool work better!

In order to pick up the parts, I did another “rental car” run to Toronto.  Hit two cars I had reviewed before, so no reason to run over that ground again.  But safe to say that my opinion of the new Camry was solidified by another 600kms behind the wheel of one of the nicest 4 door sedans in the class.  I could run that one all day and all night and never get tired!

In the porn world, well, not too much new and exciting.  The Jordan Capri Honeymoon Video is slowly leaking out, which is all good.  One thing for sure, this girl could likely suck a golf ball through a garden hose.  Nice stuff!

As for my own stuff, well… an important date coming up for me on November 16th will sort of clear up some things for me and give me an idea on some of the things I will be working on in the next 12 months or so.  Until then, I am in sort of a weird holding pattern, cleaning up some stuff and generally making all the porn stuff work better and be more up to date.  Otherwise, I am pretty quiet, and actually taking some time for myself these days, which feels pretty darn good.

So, enjoy!  Don’t forget to check out findpics free porn!

Stuff – a – poppin’

Actually, it has been a pretty weird 10 days around here, with some personal issues once again eating up my time, but at this point for maybe some good at the end rather than bad or pain. Resolution, clarity, and maybe a chance of something really decent is sitting about a month out, so I am keeping my eye out there. It is a little stressful, but that’s okay.

It’s also been a weird week because CBGB’s closed, which was about the kewlest club int he world as far as I was concerned growing up. A whole musical revolution came from that club, and it greatly shaped my appreciation for music other than (my at that time prefered) metal. CBGBs closes story is here.

On the porn front, well, there is the new Summertime MILF site, which is pretty nice. Home movie style POV stuff of a guy that spends his summer schlonging this incredible looking MILF with really big boobs and a great attitude. You can see some Summertime MILF Movies over here.

I have some other stuff bubbling under, so probably more news before the week is over with some nice fresh stuff for ya 🙂

The day that YouTube became uncool.

You can mark today down in the history books.  Google has bought video giveaway site Youtube for a mind numbing 1.65 billion (story from cnn here), aquiring the 67 person company that wouldn’t know what a profitable business looked like if they were slapped in the face with it.

Some, such as Marketing Shift, suggest that Google, with it’s vast Adsense network or advertisers will be able to push things like pre-roll ads (those annoying commercials before a video) or otherwise crowd up the youtube space with more and more click for money ads.  (read their take here)  They can see some potential for Google to turn this into a money spinner.

Myself, I see some benefits for Google, specifically using up some of the storage and bandwidth in their new mega-storage facility they have been working on.  Their understanding of how to distribute through the net and provide good service is legendary.   It also gives them many millions of additional page views into their network, which certainly can help.

However, YouTube’s whole deal is being kewl and being somewhat on the edge of legality.  It isn’t unusual to find TV shows and other copyrighted material on the site, and some of the material goes from questionable to downright disgusting.  Think American’s Funniest Videos without the sound effects or the well places censor strips meets Jackass, and you are starting to get the idea.  Blogs link to this stuff, using YouTube’s inline system to display the videos right in the blog without sending the surfer anywhere, which is basically free bandwidth to show videos, but with no chance for youtube to make any income unless they start adding in pre-roll ads.

There is the rub.  Google will not be willing to allow it’s 1.65 billion dollar investment be a black hole of resources and time.  They are going to want return on investment, which is going to mean changes in the product and changes in the way things are done.  Pre-roll ads or other restrictions on material are going to create that sort of “not cool” feel about the place that will likely take away the edge, and turn it into just another popular online site.

Remember, you can tell your kids that you remember when YouTube was still cool.
