From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

Today we announced that the subscription price for WinCustomize was going to go up $10/year from $20 to $30.  Now, of course we had to come up with a good justification for this, something that would fool the sheep of the forums into believing we did this for their own good and that they're getting the better end of the deal.

But, just between you and me?  Complete BS. 

As some of you may know, today's Angie's birthday, so as a gift the company bought her a new car...

So that would have probably accounted for a $2.50 increase per subscription, but some of us were looking at that car and asked "What about us?"  After some haggling and stomping of feet and numerous rude gestures, we sold upper management on the idea of the Stardock Porsche Fleet...

Each, of course, added $2.50 to the unit cost of a WinCustomize subscription. 

That's why the subscription is now $10 more per year.  Gotta pay for the fancy cars!

Now, I know some of you are probably getting worked up about this turn of events, especially considering how we told you it was really about the free skins, and not the Porsche fleet.  To calm your nerves, here's a serene picture of some geese...

That's right, here at Stardock HQ we have a fleet of Porsches AND cute little baby geese!

No kidding.

Hey, I got a package from Stardock this morning.  They even tailored it for us living in Florida, they included a car alarm!

I wanna job with stardock.


I think the same thing almost daily. I keep thinking of ways I could convince them to hire me - 'Don't you want your product descriptions, manuals, and games translated into Spanish? Think of all those millions of users in Latin America just begging to use your programs but don't know any English.

'Brad, you know you want to hire me. You don't even need to throw in the Porsche.'

There was a conflict with his home security system.

Actually, looking closer, there's a fourth dog 'hiding' behind number one. He's black, so he's hard to see.

Looks like we both need to see the ophthalmologist, Angie.

It must be rough to have a Porsche! I have to settle for just my old Merc. Topaz.

I will be offended once I actually buy stardock software! That's a promise. Then I'll whine about it until nothing is done about it. Yep. That's my weekend.
