The good news is that the next nine days will go by, quickly. Soon enough I can actually have something to do in free time, again, other than sleep in a tree. :3

Between all the blogging about bubble wrap and the massive influx of video cards and new inventory, life can be tough.
Spence is trying out some new VLog thing, but personally, I like this more. The ability to write and entertain is much more... interesting to me than a VLog, though I see the attraction, since most of consumer america is more interested in quick-and-easy entertainment than actually enjoying some good literature.
So, tonight, I shall vent not the stresses of my day, but merely the monotony that happens when you throw a few dudes into a room filled with video cards and a need to push product.
What makes a good blog?
Wit, I think. Witty remarks, and a bit of humor, mixed with a sarcastic and optimistic view of life.
Yeah. That's the stuff. Literary skills will get you somewhere, but more often it appears to be that you have to flood a page with entertaining words and pretty colours to grasp the attention of an audience - and on stage that is simply a beautiful thing ~ but what happened to literature?
I guess I'm asking myself the same thing about consumers, now.
What do you have to do to grasp someone's attention on eBay? On Amazon?
Do you have to flood your listing with pretty colours? Do you need explosions in the background to sell an old Radeon card?
Is it necessary to blur all the images and burn the edges to attract hipsters?
At what point are you no better than Michael Bay?
When has the prostitution of a product gone so far that you're no better than...well...
If I can mesmerize an audience with some spinning lights synchronized to a musical score -
then surely I can mesmerize an audience with words.
Surely a consumer will read text, and care only about the truthful information given to him -
he shouldn't need explosions and lies and bribes to make his way to our online store,
he should be attracted simply by seeing through google search results who we really are.
