Geek Christmas Part 2

Geek Christmas has come twice so far this year!  Another round of liquidation from my buddy Mike’s closing office.  This time it’s Optiplex desktops and Latitude laptops.  Yes, I know, you’d like a laptop… get in line!

Goodbye, Dante Boy

My very good friends Ray & Shana lost their Boy on Saturday. Dante was their Miracle Dog. He fell horribly ill seven years ago so every day that they have had with him was nothing but a wonderful bonus. Ray and Shana were smart enough not to waste any of it.
Playing with Dante was always one of the highlights of my visits, even if my shoulder & elbow were sore for days by the time he was finished playing tug with me.  I always got greeted at the door like I was getting welcomed home.  I’m going to miss the hell out of him so I can only imagine what his mom & dad are going through, not to mention his girlfriend Sasha. You were absolutely a member of the Lucky Dog pack when you got Ray & Shana, Dante.  You’ll be missed by everyone who had the chance to tug with ya.  Good Boy!

Geek Christmas

So my buddy Mike works for a finance company that got taken out in the first wave of the sub-prime collapse.  He’s gotten some very nice retention bonuses to stick around during the dismantling, and today I got one.  He had 12 servers that were removed from regional offices that needed to be liquidated.  Being my father’s son, I can’t pass up on a deal, so when he said $500 for the lot…. done!
