Your E-mail

Some notes and information from you guys--interesting as always. Thanks.

First, from Cody Sharp, in reference to that Circuit Deal "deal" I mentioned yesterday:
Xbox 360 backward compatibility isnt the only fantastic service Circuit City provides. They also do PSP updates. I saw a sign in their store the other day saying, "Buying a PSP today? Make sure you get the update for the console to make it run better, look better, work, etc...only 24.99" or something like that. They get you to buy the system and give you the amazing option of getting a system that works for an 20 extra bucks or one that doesn't for free. A great deal.

Next, from Don Slevin:
Here’s Best Buys ‘Geek Squad’ pricing…

For $29 they’ll do the same thing with Quicken (insert disk and hit enter 6 times) or for $19 they’ll blow the dust out of your computer (for $129 they’ll come to your house and do it) or for $59 they’ll install Norton Internet Security which will then slow your computer to a crawl…and then they’ll charge you $29 to speed it back up…LMAO


I think Circuit City announced some "rival" to Geek Squad this week called Bite Squad or Fire Team Delta or something stupid like that.

From Nick Johns, in reference to the "Dead Rising Secrets" video:
Just so you know, the ...secrets line is a Conan O'Brien reference. He has a bit where some celebrities will sit in a set that looks like a cop interrogation (cement walls, single table and chair with the bright overhead hanging light, a lit cigarette) and tell "secrets" about themselves, people they've worked with, that sort of thing. It's titled [persons name] Secrets, each time they finish a joke the "secrets" voice over plays.

It's a very funny bit, a lot of celebrities have done it, one of the best being Harrison Ford. I'm sure there is a few up on You Tube, I recommend you track them down if you can.

This was the moment when I realized that I was hopelessly old.

I think Conan O'Brien is one of the funniest people on Earth. Literally. But I haven't seen his show for at least five years, which curiously corresponds almost exactly to the birth date of Eli 5.1. So I am officially completely out of touch with popular culture now.

It's a blessing. And a curse.
