43 year old San Jose man bawls like a baby at “Lilo and Stitch.”
Why should Apple go to CES? Seems like 90% of the products introed there are made for iPod or iPhone anyway. So they’re already there.
I’ve been laughed at because I believe in the business world (at work) we should be addresssed by our last names.
I hate walking into another department and saying to a complete stranger, Diane do you have? Or worse, Bill sent me over to pick up.
I don’t know Diane, she is not my friend and she’s older than I am and I’m old! I feel strange addressing her by her first name. To me she is Mrs Smith. Maybe later after we know each other she might say Oh please call me Diane. But until she does I feel odd using her first name.
And yes even though I’m old enough to be your father were I to ever vist beautiful San Jose and meet you. The first words I would say would be.
Mr Cowan, after reading your blog for so many years its a pleasure to finally meet you.
(But you of course could call me Tim because I’ve never told you my last name, leaving you no option) Just don’t call me Gramps, it makes me cranky…er.
