Writing down my thoughts in disjointed, syntax-less phrases is usually the first step to putting together an article, not the last.

Would you have read the whole thing if it was a long winded essay in paragraph form?

I've seem more and more blog posts where this twitter style is used and for certain situations, it's very effective.

"for certain situations, it's very effective"

It may be for some, but this isn't one of them. I made it about halfway through before I completely lost interest, because there was no indication of the point of the article or where it was going.

This article is a study in tedium.

"I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one."

- Mark Twain

If it was well written it wouldn't be long winded.

How much do I have to spend to get 2 25-year-old women to swoon?

You could buy a puppy from an animal shelter. Or you could buy one of the new Macbooks for each of them. Those would probably have about the same effect. After all, "two Airs is humane." [argh, sorry.]

Therefore the price is about $500 for the puppy depending on the dog. Then you have to factor in food costs and checkups to keep the dog looking cute.

Come on, adopt a pet. Help out your local animal shelter. Adoption fees are inexpensive compared to buying from a breeder.

I think those rates are quoted hourly

For some people (not me) it depends on whether you're in Thailand or not.

How is this even news? Guy Kawasaki is the most outspoken Apple fan in the world. I just kind of took it for granted that he would buy all kinds of Apple junk.

To me, the article even had the opposite of the (probably intended) effect. Instead of thinking how cool and affordable an "Apple lifestyle" is, I just kind of winced at the idea of spending $5K on that stuff.

Why read Guy Kawasaki? Evangelized product that sold itself, string of failures since. This article boring Apple fanboyism.

That was excruciating to read through. Being clever only works if it's actually clever.

Am i the only person that thinks Guy Kawasaki is too arrogant for his own good? I suppose it comes with being a VC though...

"Day 32: All three buddies come through. Now have enough serial numbers to open up a Microsoft distributorship. Install Office 2008 on Air."

Nice one, Guy. Guess it's OK to pirate software and brag about it on your blog if you can use your influence to glom serial numbers.

meanwhile I spent nothing and went to a bar and met lots of women :p

Note:When I was younger and before I was married :p
