My new stock answer for these soul-draining marketers

Original Message:

Hi Eric,

We are BLEND - and we think a strategic partnership between our two companies could significantly move the needle for you. As a full service digital agency, that's what we do… create content and technology that resonates emotionally, but is built on a solid foundation of KPI and ROI.

In other words - we get results.

blah... blah.... blah.....


My Reply:

We are absolutely pumped about your agile marketing engagement and value proposition to work synergistically with our results-driven growth hackers who think outside-the-box and are best of breed in today's results driven world.  There is no doubt that the cost-per-click and cost-per-like model increasingly seeks a defender for out-of-pocket justification by the Go-To person who negotiates pre-launch campaigns.  As Scrum Leader, I enthusiastically employ the custom activation model to realize ROI and analyze KPI throughout the value-added ideation process. Have you every asked yourself how a Realm Oracle can curate big data to perform deep dive gamification of authentic geotargeting PPC, SEO and not to mention SEM?  This strategic forward-thinking team player must let loose the Social Media Visualizations which are internally streamlined via n-way conversations which are dynamic to marketing automation.  In summary, Influencer Marketing can only be created, achieved, managed, improved and mentored successfully when there is hard working leadership with extensive experience and creative synergy to garner full conceptual continuity and context of social commerce without overly showrooming their detail-oriented aggregation of inforgraphics and influencer analytics and to motivate go-getters and thought leaders who simply want to maximize SUCCESS!

In closing, we're ok right now.

Alienware Alpha Base - 5 Yellow Flashes

There are many dissatisfied customers who have bought these small Dell gaming computers which are made in China.    The unit itself is not bad - Core i3-4170T, Nividia GeForce GPU, etc....  But periodically, the unit will not start up and the yellow alien flashes 5 times.   Sometimes, unplugging the A/C adapter (sometime overnight) allows the system to boot again normally.   I haven't figured out a pattern to make this happen but I'm guessing that it just a faulty cap or inductor.  I need to because it'll help convince Dell's Repair Depot that something is fundamentally wrong with this design.

Update: 6/10/16.  Unit came back over a month ago from Dell repair.  They replaced the mobo and so far this computer has been working great.   There's no reason Dell should not recall this product and make courtesy calls to others affected.
