Merlin Mann has been on a roll lately. Check out his brilliant Canon-Amazon referral ploy, his Desktop Tour, and his sorta-daily video blog. Want more? Yes you do. Check out his productivity speeches and of course, his productivity site 43 Folders. Inspiring stuff.
Oh yea, this article from him rocks too. Man, he is good.
So, I read the buy the fucking camera blog… I didn’t find it funny, in fact I found it pretty lame. But it may be that I’m missing something, or is it just the repetitive writing of “fucking” what goes by funny these days ?
Buyafuckingcamera.com is Mr. Mann’s current agenda taken to an extreme, not an exercise in maximizing the number of profanities existing in one website.
Vague, useless ideas and shameless marketing ploys aren’t they way to move things forward – bloody hard work, determination and spirit might be. His “camera” videos are filled with subtle remarks showing how useless quite a bit of online “content” has become, I think they are excellent.
He’s fucking annoying in that video.
thanks for good site
