don’t hate me but… i has MB Air.
May 14th, 2008 | 66 Comments | Categorised as: Geeky Stuff, Life, Tech/Web, VideosWhilst in England in February this year, I got very attached with a MacBook Air. It wasn't mine but I wished and wished with all of my might for it to be so...
AND SOMEONE ACTUALLY SENT ME ONE!! A MB AIR!!! (CAPS LOCKS ATTACK!) How insane is that? I'm still waiting for a Darlick or a Darma dude or a cylon or Ashton or Jonah Takalua to appear...
PS. If anyone else would like to send me stuff, i still need an iPhone, more M&S Biscuits, and a dinosaur Pez dispenser to match my awesome dino PJs. Rarrrr.

I'm officially envious right now :) And preparing for the big day tomorrow!
BTW my laptop has died. Can you tell them to send me one just like yours? ;) Hehehe
Congrats! :D
Pasquale said on May 14, 2008:
PUK YOU MISS.
Tyler Ingram said on May 14, 2008:
Wow if anyone else out there wants to help me 'Make The Switch' by all means send me a Macbook Air too! I'd even settle for a MacBook.
You sure do look happy though
Jarel said on May 14, 2008:
Very jealous....
Thanks for rubbing it in our faces, lol ;-)
Chris said on May 14, 2008:
Did somebody anonymously send you a $2,000 device? Do you know this somebody? Is this particular Air hot?
fotoeins said on May 14, 2008:
Mmmmm, MB Air pr0n ...
Hahahahahahah .... that coy big blue-eyed look could probably knock down kingdoms ...
Que lindo, su MBA ... I'm right behind you by 11-14 days.
Can't. fight. this. feeling.
... any more ...
p.s. if someone sends you an iBettany, get that trademark down. STAT.
macanuck said on May 14, 2008:
Got two words for you.
Stal.Ker.
Seriously. I can go on about my lust for a Gelaskin, but you think anyone will send me one? Even though it costs, like, $30? Heck no. People won't even donate $2 to keep my highly informative if somewhat random blog afloat? Why? Because I don't look good in a bikini. (And somewhere out there, there are pictures that prove that point....)
They say you can't get something for nothing, and while I hope this is as good a deal as it sounds, I worry that one of these days Kevin Rose will show up on your doorstep looking for some sugar...
Wait, bad example. Um. Jason C shows up on your doorstep with keys to his Tesla Roadster...?
Scott Bourne and his 1Ds Mk III?
Woz and a sheet of $100 bills?
(You know that somebody, somewhere is pretending he's that MBA, clutched possessively to your bosom...)
p. said on May 14, 2008:
Does that mean you don't need your regular MacBook anymore? ;)
just me said on May 14, 2008:
Congrats on your MBA! But one thing though, are you really like that in person? You don't act normal. You aint seem normal at all.
PS. I think people will still visit your great site (and i mean it) even if you dont flaunt your assets.
Rob Haswell said on May 14, 2008:
Awesome :-)
Remember - caps-lock is cruise control for cool!
By the way, if I were you I'd format that thing before I even connected it to the network.
Thommy said on May 14, 2008:
ok, off-topic, but i have a question. I'm from germany so i have problems understanding some things in english.
your headline says "i has MB Air.". shouldnt that be a "have" instead of a "has"? is that a kind of common speech?
Dennis Bjørn Petersen said on May 14, 2008:
LOL that's cool. Congrats!
If you don't ask, you don't get anything ;)
Mohammed Al-Asmar said on May 14, 2008:
Hi , yesterday i discovered your blog, and i would like to say it is the most amazing spot on the internet ( didn't used internet word from 4 years ago ) :D
Anyway to say something related to this post or you will kick my a__ out from here, congratulation on MacBook AIR :D
Rob Haswell said on May 14, 2008:

August said on May 14, 2008:
Congratulations! I'd better get one myself, it's so cool!
Skiant said on May 14, 2008:
The beginning of the video is soooo drama-tastic. <3
Glad you got your air-fantasy!
Jonathan said on May 15, 2008:
One persons garbage is another persons treasure...
seriously though, me = very jealous!
John Chow said on May 15, 2008:
Don't hate me, but I have more notebooks than I know what to do with. :P Have fun with the air. You deserve it.
Dan said on May 15, 2008:

*Goes away to sulk in a corner* :(
Rob Haswell said on May 15, 2008:

Pasquale said on May 15, 2008:
@ John - Send one to me!
Nate said on May 15, 2008:
Is this part of the one laptop for every child program? jk lol
So who sent it to you?
Greg from Make Money Online said on May 15, 2008:
Great job at getting a MAC book air. I want one really bad also. I don't earn enough to justify it at this time. Good luck getting your I-Phone.
just me said on May 15, 2008:
lol @ rob haswell.
yeah, i thought this site would be great even without showing the b**bs :)

Haha congrats Lisa. So who sent it to you, anonymous sender? Must be some wealthy European man who lives in a vineyard, lol. Your Vancouver charm wore off on him, haha just kidding.. Enjoy the MB Air congrats again!
Jonic said on May 15, 2008:
Whatevs Lisa, I bet it's not even the model with the SSD...
@John Chow: I'll happily take a notebook off you. Be sure to note that I said "take" ;)

Great site by the way.

casa87 said on May 15, 2008:
I'm so jealous.
Someone can send me some cookies (miam) ? Or just a mac Thx
Brady Valentino said on May 15, 2008:
Now that you have the Air, I'll happily take that old MacBook of yours off your hands. :)
Aron T said on May 15, 2008:
Wow, congrats Lisa! I can safely say I'm extremely jealous.
But not too jealous.. *pats trusty MBP*

Holy sh%t. That's awesome. Good for you. I'm totally jealous. I guess I'll earn mine the old fashioned way :(
Philippp said on May 16, 2008:
You should make and post an Amazon wishlist.
Big Cajun Man said on May 16, 2008:
You get MAC systems, I get free Financial Books (and not very good ones at that), guess I need to write about things I want more! --C8j
Rob Haswell said on May 16, 2008:
You can't buy smiles from strangers on Amazon :-(

Wow, I'm jealous!
Clintus said on May 16, 2008:
strange, rss reader didn't pick up the first video. Congrats on the new mac. I'm still on cloud 9 with my macbook pro.
Spike said on May 16, 2008:
If those dino PJs are as awesome as you say, I'd be tempted to send you an iPhone for a photo that properly demonstrates teh awesomeness.
Congrats, but I can't exactly say I'm jealous. I went to the Apple Store prepared to buy a MacBook Air the last time I was in Dallas, but the craving died after about 30 seconds with that keyboard. Guess I'll stick with my trusty MBP for now, even though it's a few generations old.
Rey said on May 17, 2008:
MacBook Air? Got Sent To You! Love you forever, Hates ya for now! lol.

Am envious but I am sure you deserved it. :)
Joe said on May 18, 2008:
Awesome, Lisa! Now I wish someone would send me something like that! I'll settle for an iMac. :-)
The Monetizer said on May 18, 2008:
Congratulations! Those do look like great computers..I still rely alot on my iBook..although it's outdated, it's my favorite item..
Arlene Whiting said on May 18, 2008:
I was just saying yesterday that I needed a laptop and that I was going to see if I could network through a couple of sites to see if anyone wanted to send me one for free.
Living Off Dividends & Passive Income said on May 18, 2008:
This reminds me a joke I once heard.
A man puts an ad in the paper saying "Wife Wanted". He got back a thousand letters each saying the saying thing, "you can have mine!".
congrats - I wish someone would send me anonymous crap in the mail.

To all the haters, it is the 1.8ghz W/ 64gb SSD. :)

Anyone claiming to be the sender with links to sites etc is an imposter, I requested no links and therefore wouldn't leave a comment with a link. Douce.

Kevin said on May 19, 2008:
It's cool that you got one, but I don't really see much advantage to the Air. It feels to cheap to me. I would constantly be worried about breaking it...but hey, since you got it for free, what the heck, right?
bz said on May 20, 2008:

Fergus said on July 13, 2008:
If I was cute and clever, I bet someone would send me a macbook air too.
Instead, I am 80 lbs over weight, live in my grandmothers basement (my mother said it was time for me to leave), my favorite past time is playing world of warcraft and eating cheezits, am still a virgin, though like to think that I am having a blossoming relationship with a girl on the internet that also has a video camera.
She does cost me $1.99 a minute, so I cant see her that much because I have not gotten my promotion yet at the local subway.
will you send me a mac book air, or atleast an I phone?
