People, I had no idea. Honestly. But I feel the love, as Elton John says. And I’m totally sorry for going AWOL on everyone but here’s what happened. I got an offer. Several offers, actually. Dudes wanting to put in money and build this thing into something real, and I’m like, Right on. Right friggin on. So I chose the guy who seemed least like an a-hole and took the money and I’ll be honest it ain’t life changing money, and in fact we need more, so if you know any angels or VCs send them my way, no shizzle. But here’s the idea. We’re gonna get like some Web designers and real hosting and a real domain and the whole works and make this a real deal, not just some crappy thing on Blogger, which, uh, as I guess most of you know, has some limitations. Like it seems to be down half the friggin time. So. For now we’ll do it here while we get the new site up and running, which could take a while cause as you know I am all about the creativity and I want everything to be perfect and whatever they dream up and show me, the first few hundred I’m just gonna go, Nah, not right, try it again. Still not perfect. Keep trying. But we’ll get there. And then maybe we’ll sell this puppy to some big media company. And old FSJ will spend his life sitting on a beach sipping drinks from a coconut while hotties fan me with big like palm leaves. Or something.
But anyway. We’ve now got a VC on board and he’s got this vision, cause they all have to have their friggin vision, right? Douchebags. Anyhoo. Instead of just having the Steve-inator write the whole blog, VC dude says let’s have a team blog, with multiple members. A dream team is what he’s calling it. And we’ll take turns posting. I’m not sure if I like it but I’m going along with it for now and if don’t work out, I take over again. But for now we’ve got me, as CEO, cause you know I ain’t giving up control, so put down the marker and get the frig away from my whiteboard, a-hole! And the VC guy, Random Johnson, who says he wants to post but honestly I can’t imagine he’ll have anything interesting to say and definitely the guy has zero sense of humor but whatever I gave him permission and maybe he’ll come up with some gossip on deals or something. Next we got this open-source dude from Iceland named Hans-Olaf Gutmansdottir who appears to be out of his mind. Plus two really sharp dudes from the Valley that everyone knows, Chris Anderson of Wired and Kevin Rose of Digg. Ya. No shizzle. Talk about a friggin Dream Team. Only problem is, Blogger sucks ass so bad and we can’t get the invitations to work. I’m not kidding. So for now it’s just me until I can get these other idiots connected. Man the sooner we got off Blogger the better, as far as I’m concerned.
And hey, to the dude who’s selling those T-shirts? I like them, man, but isn’t there something kinda sick about adopting someone else’s identity and then, like, making hay with it? Think about that. Peace out.
