This made my day. From the MSNBC blog:

Though it seems mostly as the result of mar­ke­ting stra­tegy, Stormhoek appears to have esta­blished itself as the geek wine.

“Mostly a result of mar­ke­ting stra­tegy”? Really? I wrote down some of my thoughts about this over on the Stormhoek blog.

    You’ll have the t-shirt in a few days…
    Thanks for asking!

  3. Ergo, Phi­lip K. Dick had it right all along. What is real and what is not?

    Nothing is bet­ter than eter­nal hap­pi­ness.
    A ham sandwhich is bet­ter than nothing.
    The­re­fore, a ham sandwhich is bet­ter than eter­nal hap­pi­ness.
    (replace “ham sandwhich” with “gaping­void” for some major brown-nosing.)

    Con­grats Hugh on the uber­gee­ki­ness of your wine — may you go and Stormhoek go from strength to strength.

    Scary thought.

  7. Dear God,
    Make the pain go away, and can I have that Canon L series lens for Christ­mas?
    Your are a kind and gentle God.

    Or is God marketing?

  9. Great, great car­toon. And thanks for the shirt tip. I expect to be wea­ring mine by the weekend!

    Actually there is a real truth in the obverse.
    God is Marketing.

  11. Mostly by mar­ke­ting stra­tegy, MSNBC seems to be repor­ting fuz­zily on what it can never be or seme.

    Hi all, I need help. Our family com­pu­ter is run­ning like a slug. It takes fore­ver to star­tup and open pro­grams and the hard drive acti­vity light is always on. It also uses up a lot of RAM for some rea­son but the CPU usage is nor­mal. I have another hard drive that is in a remo­va­ble tray that I use, and that has all the same set­tings and everything, but that one is using a frac­tion of the RAM and runs pretty good! Please help! ?
