Free Stuff: I Love the Perks

There are a couple products I’ve received lately that I want to show my appreciation for…

New Laptop Battery
I’ve had my MacBook Pro for a few years now. So it was no surprise that a few months ago my battery went to complete crap. It was basically at the point where if the power cord got disconnected, the laptop powered off. Apparently I’m lucky that I even got the few years out of it that I did. From my understanding, it’s completely normal for laptop batteries to start going bad after roughly 300 cycles. Well, lucky for me, I have a client who sells replacement batteries so it was easy for me to just call him and up and ask for a replacement. It wasn’t something he had to do for me though and when he sent me a new one, he didn’t ask for anything out of it. And to my pleasant surprise, the replacement battery for my MacBook Pro actually works better than my original Apple battery ever did… and that’s pretty cool.

Surf Art
I was pretty stoked the other day when the UPS guy showed up with a package at my door and I opened it up to find this….

It’s a killer painting from Hawaiian Surf Artist, Clark Takashima. Perfect, I’ve been needing some nice surf art. And again, something that was sent to me with no expectations. Clark is someone I’ve developed a friendship with over email in the last year. Never in a million years was I expecting him to send me one of his paitings. I love it though and it will look perfect in my office. Thanks Clark!!

    I LOVE this painting! Never rode anything close to that big - prefer chest-to-head height on my funboard - but I can only imagine the feeling…

    I’m not a true water-creature… I’m more of a mountain / powder freak and I love the Rocky Mountian / Himalyan high…. but any way you ride…. you can’t beat the feeling!

    I LIVE FOR it.

    Hey there! I had just listened to one of your shows (Rush Hour) on WebmasterRadio; however, it was dated, i think, around August 2007.

    Moving on, just wanna ask you this: what tips can you give a person who wants to understand web marketing even though that he doesn’t got any background of it?

    Thanks a lot!

    Monchet- haha, cool, the old radio show.

    Actually that is a good question and you inspired me to write a blog post about it. Check back in a couple days for that.
