If Hamlet Doth Tweeted

September 1, 2010 · 8 comments

bat and dark castle To tweet or not to tweet – that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the cloud to suffer
The slings and arrows of experts and entrepreneurs
Or to ignore a sea of DMs
And by opposing them, lose followers. To lie, to tweet
No more – and by not tweeting to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural lamers
That Twitter is heir to – ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To bore, to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream-tweet. Ay, there’s the tweet,
For in that tiring tweet what dreams may come,
When we have fallen deep from boredom’s coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the dissing
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of experts,
Th’ opressor’s thong, the jerkwad’s contumely.
The pangs of disprized lists, the mentions we made,
The insolence of spammers, and dweebs
That patient merit of th’ wanker takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To tweet and retweet under a social media storm,
But the dread of something after Facebook,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the SEO experts
And makes us bear those bastards who unfollow
Than fly to the DIGG that we know not of?
Thus social media does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue irresolution
is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of crank tweets,
And enterprises of great scams and moment
With this regard their snake-oil turn awry,
And lose the name of Meme. – Soft you now!
The fair porn queen, in thy U-Tube-tops
Be all my tweets remembered.

Why I Don’t Use Google Chrome

August 24, 2010

Ignorance can cause heartache, loss of time and problems doctors cannot diagnose. Ignorance is not an excuse to break the law, may cause seborrhea and inability to achieve orgasm. Ignorance is not synonymous with stupid – it means lack of knowledge. In my life I’ve never seen such an abundance of ignorance as on the [...]

The Green Report On The Current Environment

August 10, 2010

Tlgm, a short swarthy man with greenish skin from the planet H51 in the Andromeda Galaxy,  stepped out of his ship near the biggest Air Force base in the U.S. He had surreptitiously dropped by earth to observe the current state of affairs on this unorthodox planet. Tlgm’s job was to take note of social [...]

The Incredible Lightness of Web Surfing

August 3, 2010

Ten years ago most of us were gleefully pulling information from the web, or as it was then called, surfing the web. It is human nature to think that whatever you are doing today will last forever, or at least until your next birthday. My dubious unscientific studies show that if your life were measured [...]

Working Through The Clichés

July 27, 2010

Everything in the world has been photographed. Every situation in the world has been written about, even if it is news. Only the characters and location change. If you write fiction, there is a finite number of plots. Nothing is new, and there is nothing you can do to change that. However, the number of [...]

A Men’s Room With A View

July 20, 2010

For years I’ve pondered the universal question that plagues American males. Why can’t we read signs on public restroom doors? Somewhere there may be a man who hasn’t accidentally entered the ladies room; I have yet to meet him. Over the years I’ve found myself red-faced, disconcerted as I apologetically back out the door of [...]
