Computer America Show lineup for the week of June 24, 2013

Lineup for the week:

Monday
----------
Hour one: Scheduled is OriginPC! Any company can build a PC, but few can build a custom gaming PC worthy of playing the latest games. Many claim to offer gaming PCs, but they don't deliver a complete gaming experience.  A real gaming PC must be focused on Customization, Service, Gaming, and
Technology. This is ORIGIN's specialty.  Join the company's CEO and
Co-Founder as we talk about their amazingly fast computers.


Monday

Hour two: Agility Recovery Solutions is a former division of GE with 23 years disaster recovery and business continuity experience.

Their mission is to keep you connected to your customers, vendors, employees and community - no matter what.


Tuesday
----------
Hour one:  Razoo is like a Kickstarter for Charities.  Razoo is a movement of people who want to make generosity a part of everyday life.  Generosity is win-win. Not only does it make the world a better place, it also makes us happy and fulfilled - especially when we give to the people and causes we care about most.  On Razoo, you can set up a fundraiser for a charity of your choice. There are no setup fees and no monthly subscription fees.  Or you can raise money as a team on Razoo. Or simply help others spread the word about their cause.

Because Aliens!

1947 - Seaman Harold Dahl claims to have seen six UFOs near Maury Island in Puget Sound, Washington.  The next morning, Dahl reported a man arrived at his home and invited him to breakfast at a nearby diner; Dahl accepted the invitation.  He described the man as wearing a black suit and driving a new 1947 Buick; Dahl assumed he was a military or government representative. Dahl claimed the man told him details of the UFO sighting while they ate, though Dahl had not related his account publicly.  The man also allegedly gave Dahl a non-specific warning, which Dahl took as a threat that his family might be harmed if he related details of the sighting.

Orcutt #Quilt Store

 It's orange!

 This quilt is for a cancer fund raiser.  Bought three tickets.  No matter who gets it, this quilt will be a welcome addition to anyone's home!

 Saw this and thought of lots of people I know that sew and quilt.

And it even has the translation.

Cool Car at the #Quilt Store

 Saw this today parked at the quilt store in Orcutt.

 It's in very nice shape.  Low cut windshield.  No bumper, no airbags, not even a roof!

But very, very cool.  Should be on the Cool Wall.
