Shock, horror, I didn’t win the PublisherChallenge April contest. No big surprise really considering the amount of effort I put into it, life has a way of rewarding you for what you put in. Anyhoo, seeing as how I didn’t win the MacBook I decided to go ahead and buy one anyway (what’s £1200 between friends?) – I feel like writing a few iPhone apps and whilst I’m sure I could bodge together some sort of Apple Emulator on one of the many PC’s I have around the place I thought it would be easier just to buy a proper one, besides we need a new family laptop and Laura loves Macs from when she used them at school. It’s going to be a bit of a learning curve for me, I haven’t used Apple technology since I left school 16 years ago! Do they still only have 1 mouse button?
Secondly, I found out this morning that one of my old friends is due to inherit several million pounds. Remember what I just said about fate rewarding your effort? Well forget it. This lad bummed around at university for 8 years (jumping from one course to the next) before finally getting a bog standard office job. No aim, no drive, no ambition – just plod along. He should pay of his fees sometime in the next century! Well that would be the case if he wasn’t due an inheritance that’s come about from some land being sold from an extended family. So the way to get ahead in life seems to be do as little as you can get away with and fate will look after you. Not that I’m bitter of course, good luck to him I say!

We attract everything into our lives on a subconscious level. Even though your friend may not have appeared to be a rich person it did happen for him.
Thanks for sharing your insight

I don’t have a Mac… but I am pretty sure that mac doesn’t have just one mouse button anymore.
Are you sure that friend of yours didn’t fall for one of those email scams? I would hope that’s not the case, hehe.
Till then!

Great video – I’m now a little wiser. I was hoping that my Mac would be here today but no joy yet.
