It’s a New Media DoucheFestival

December 30th, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

Ye fuck­ing gods.

I usu­ally avoid the fetid drib­blings of Robert Scoble like the black fuck­ing plague; but just now I ran across a post from my pal Chuq that drove me to ven­ture into the belly of the douche. To quote Scoble’s update on FriendFeed:

I’m in Palo Alto. Just had yogurt at shop that Steve Jobs eats at fre­quently. They said he was in a cou­ple of days ago and is in great health.

Yes you read that right. The frig­tard king spent the time and effort to post that a frogurt shack employee is reas­sur­ing us that our Dark Lord Steve Jobs is doin’ just fine. I seri­ously, and with no hyper­bole what­so­ever, do not have the words to explain the utter idiocy of this. I mean, where do I begin? The sense of utter self impor­tance? Scoble’s des­per­ate need to asso­ciate him­self with celebrity? The insane desire to com­ment on every gods damned Apple rumor ever? FROGURT!?!

I’m fully con­vinced that these depraved lunatics won’t stop until they end up rif­fling through Steve’s garbage; or steal­ing Jobsian stool sam­ples for “analysis.”

    Darby,I know you’re in full rant mode, but there is good news. The name of it is “Ambrosia Software.“I got an email a cou­ple days ago about EV Nova. I thought, “Hey. I haven’t played that for years.” So I went root­ing around in my hard drive to find that it prob­a­bly van­ished a cou­ple of com­put­ers ago.“So I was about to buy it again. Then, on a lark, I requested my acti­va­tion code from Ambrosia. They sent it to me within moments. I down­loaded the new ver­sion and it’s up and run­ning. Just like that. They included my acti­va­tion codes from two other pro­grams I bought from them a cou­ple years ago in the same email.Andrew Welch, the king of Ambrosia, is THE MAN.If Ambrosia ever writes an office suite, I’ll buy it sight unseen.

    Let’s see if 2009 and the global finan­cial sphinc­ter tight­en­ing will pop the Web 2.0 fart bub­ble and force Scoblekind to find them­selves another source on which to suckle.Yeah, that’s a whole bunch of mixed metaphors (and some rather ghastly imagery). Sorry.Happy Gregorian Calendar Year Change!
