Execupundit Gets It Right

Execupundit.com: Questionable Career Advice. Beware anyone offering you career advice. I accepted the line that, if I wanted to become a lawyer, I should major in English Literature. What a crock.

It introduced me to the great writers, and most of my fellow classmates were girls. Hoorah. But, prepare me for law school? Not so much.

What To Get The Person Who Has Everything For Xmas

Each year, I buy myself a present for Xmas. I know. Sounds selfish. But, for a gadget guy, nobody ever knows what to get for me. I sympathize with your dilemma. So, I solve it, and save you a lot of heartache. I know. A lot of you have been agonizing about what to get me this Xmas. I feel your pain. So, this year, I have solved the problem. I have purchased the Anker Nebula Mars portable projector. 500 ANSI lumens, 3 to 4 hours battery life, under 5 pounds, up to a 500 inch picture, and JBL speakers built in. It will accept a Firestick or Roku stick for input, and has built in apps from Android; although, limited by an old version of Android (4.4). Not too pricey, at $599, and, drum roll please, I can use it for presentations and demonstrations. It will be delivered Monday, and I intend to watch soppy Xmas movies and listen to Xmas music on Xmas Eve. Merry Xmas. To Me.
