And yes, I'm alive. Soon I may even have free time.
Well done Lenovo
Yesterday I noticed that the battery in my T60p wouldn't charge; the battery indicator kept blinking yellow. I called IBM/Lenovo and spent less than 10 minutes on the phone with a very pleasant rep in Atlanta, GA, who (a) informed me that my battery was covered by the original warranty, b) said that I should be getting a replacement battery in 3-5 days, and (c) told me an entertaining customer support story about an earlier caller who didn't bother being polite and ended up on an "extended hold."
I was pleasantly surprised today when a got a package from IBM. Turns out they overnighted the replacement battery to me. I suspect their prompt attention is at least partly due to the fact that I bought my laptop through my school which has a partnership with Lenovo.
Sometimes they get it right. Well done Lenovo.
Today's Totally Awesome Legal Quote of the Day
"[Defendant] moved that we strike from the State's brief and appendix a selection from the Year Book of 1484 written in Medieval Latin ... . The State provided no translation and conceded a total lack of knowledge of what it meant. The motion is granted." Pope v. State, 284 Md. 309.
You can't make this stuff up, folks.
Why I Like School
School has been a little crazy lately, but that hasn't prevented me from appreciating how awesome it really is.
Just this morning I had an hour-long conversation over breakfast with an economics professor and a historian about the Russo-Japanese war, WWII, and what history teaches us about the "war on terrorism." And that's why I love this place.
