Hello _______,

I am an independent journalist/blogger who is interested in your products. I am a heavy user of technological and shiny gadgets. My site, DrMobey.com is a repository for my knowledge and experience with said technology and is visited by literally tens of people per month.
I would like to review,and or own some of Apple's newer gadgets. The iphone and the iPod touch are two devices that I can see myself enjoying and giving a favorable review to.
If it is at all possible I would like to get an iphone and an ipod touch sent to me for a review. I would also like to keep these items. I would like very much not to pay for these items as I am a reviewer and I'm fairly certain that no other reviewers (David Pogue, Engaget, Gizmodo) have paid for all of their products. Perhaps I could put up some banner ads or something.
So in conclusion, I will most likely love your products, I currently own an iMac and an iPod video, both of which I love. Please contact me at: givemegadgets@drmobey.com.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mobey

Someone asked me today if I had a blog.
“Of course I have a blog!” I replied enthusiastically.
“F**king EVERYBODY has a blog.”
That is a true statement. Everyone has a blog, everyone shouldn’t have a blog, but they do anyway. People who shouldn’t have a blog sometimes have two or three blogs. Weblogs are not cool. They are not a way to make money. People who make money by blogging can make money in the real world as well. You cannot, you just own a computer.
The same person who asked if I had a blog stated that she was thinking of helping her child start a blog. I, for one, think that this is a great idea.
What the F**K could a ten year old possibly have to write about? The blog would rarely be updated, make no sense whatsoever. 90% of every post would be comprised of emoticons and animated GIFs. Just like every other blog. Bring it on.
