I would love it if Santa could visit me and I could have a chat with the Jolly Man.
Why? Well for one thing I have a lot of questions for him. It would be like a Barbra Walters Special. An exclusive interview where we would dig deep into this round man in a red suits past.
Here are some of the questions I would ask him.
- Santa.. What year where you born and where?
- Do you always wear the red suit and hat all year?
- Why red?
- What made you want to give all the worlds children’s presents in one night? Why not just give money to charity?
- Have you ever wanted to skip a Christmas and take a break?
- Where do you get all the money from to make all those presents? Do you have any bulk deals with manufacturers?
- If the elf’s make your presents then how do they know how to make the latest and greatest gadgets?
- Have you ever out sources some of your gift making to other countries?
- Do your elf workers get paid and have benefits?
- How many more years do you think you’ll continue giving out presents? Do you have an appetence?
What would you ask Santa?

About a month ago my 60GB iPod Photo crapped out on me. This was the 3rd time in just a little over a year this had happened, except this time the warranty was up and I couldn’t replace it.
I was and still am very upset. I use, I mean “used” my iPod everyday at work for about 4-6 hours a day. Now I have no music to listen to. I won’t buy a Nano because I have about 40GB of music and at this point I have lost quite a bit of trust in Apple.
So since I’m strapped for cash I figured I would start a “Trash My iPod, I’m Getting a Zune“ .
Here is how it works:
I need $250 to get a new Zune music player, if you don’t Zune is made by Microsoft and competing with the Apple iPod. Once the goal is reached I will buy a Zune. After that I will find a unique way to trash my current 60GB iPod Photo.
What’s great is all of you out there will have be able to the best way you think I should trash my iPod, the more unique the better. What ever you can think of that would be the coolest to watch and take pictures of.
You can email me, zlinko@hotmail.com, or leave me a comment on how you want my iPod to be trashed.
Also as a bonus, the person who donates the most will get a special gift. I will send them what is left of my iPod mounted in a frame so they can hang it up and brag to all there friends.
After you donate if you send me your name and picture I will put it up on my blog and tell the world how great you are.
So there you go.
Start donating because I want to start trashing!
To donate just click the top banner that says “Trash My iPod, I’m Getting a Zune“. It will send to my dontion page on Amazon.com. There you can also see how far from the goal we are and how many people have donated.

Well if you don’t know already I run a print center for the company I work for. At the moment we have two Canon CLC 5100, which are basically copy machines but we use them for production work. That means we have a lot of problems with them and there a pain in my ass.
But come this new year our lease if up on both printers and we have decided to take it to the next level. In January we will replace the both Canon printers with 2 Xerox DocuColor™ 5000 Digital Press.
I’M SO EXCITED!
These are real production machines and all if not most of our problems should go away which makes my job easier and less stressful.
That also means I get a new toy to play with. Fun! Fun! This Xerox is twice the size of our current printers and is suppose to be the bad ass of the block.
I guess we’ll see how it turns out. I can wait to print some of my stuff. Imagine the possibilities!
I would love it if Santa could visit me and I could have a chat with the Jolly Man.
