The Adnostic

Ha ha ha ha ha! I foiled the grand ecommerce plot against my getting the red Crumpler Considerable Embarrassment bag! That bag is mine! All mine! Within a week's time I will have a brand new, bright red messenger bag with a padded interior pouch for my 14" Apple iBook. I am a cunning genius, I tell you! A diabolical mastermind!

You may ask how I managed such a feat with the odds so clearly against me, and a truly diabolical person would not tell you. Alas, I am not so diabolical, so I will tell you.

Impressed? No? Well fooey! You should be! In a digital world filled with emails and online transactions, who would have thought using such a Jurassic technology, like "the phone," would be the answer? Me! That's who!

I called Crumpler and told them that I was quite perturbed by their little hand flipping me the little bird and wondered when this bag would actually be available. They told me that the bag was indeed available and that the little hand was actually an issue with the link and that they would be happy to take my order over "the phone." Apparently "the phone" operators were unaware of the grand ecommerce conspiracy and I was not about to do something as foolish as alert them to it's presence.

I am triumphant at last! I will arrive at SXSW in true geek style!
