WTF Toshiba?!

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I got a new computer about a year and a half ago–a Toshiba laptop.  You can find out why HERE.  So far, I’ve had no problems with the new computer until the AC adapter started to go last week.  There is a loose wire where the cord meets the transformer box.  I went to the Toshiba web site to find a replacement.  I found the appropriate adapter, only to find that they sell it for a wopping $80.  You’d think for that much of a hit, they could produce it without LEAD.  Yes. Lead!  WTF Toshiba?!?

 When I opened the box, I found a slip of paper inside that said this:

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Wash hands after handling.

Allow me to say again: WHAT THE FUCK TOSHIBA?????  Why?  WHY?  I know: let’s sell a cord with lead in it and charge the buyers $80 to poison themselves.  Brilliant.  Well, I’ve gotta go now… and wash my hands.

The Past Two Years In Review

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

What can I say?  I’m feeling a bit nostalgic.  The past two years have been filled with fun, friends and a lot of rock and roll.  This Dave Alpert music video salutes all my friends, bandmates, fans and the people who have made my life so worthwhile and filled with love and fond memories.  The wine photo is from a previous videoblog you should check out called The Wine Exhibit.  The song is called “Ties That Bind” from my Peace of Mind EP.  Enjoy!
