quiz: which Internet Celebrity are you?

Technosailor has designed a clever quiz to suss out your inner Internet Celebrity (via Matt). To be honest, only technology or marketing geeks, or those in close contact with them, will recognize these people. The tech geekosphere is largely a closed system, and it would upset the delicate equilibrium of the open-plan terrarium were we to tap on the glass too aggressively. Let’s face it: raincoaster should be a possible outcome, along with MadV, Mahir, Tionna, Pearl the Landlady, PeterPan, and the Chocolate Rain guy.

Nonetheless, if I have to be a geek, there are worse geeks to be. This one’s almost too nice, and so’s his wife. I’m not actually very much like Chris Pirillo, but I could easily see myself as his evil twin.

Chris Pirillo

You are most like Chris Pirillo!

You are most like Chris Pirillo. You dominate your brand and do quite well in marketing it. However, you go out of the way to place the focus on other people as much as possible as a decision on power and authority. You may have many followers, readers or fans but you rarely let this distract you from your mission and focus.

miscellaneous blogging advice I have given out recently

I'm not a blogger

  1. Faking your own death is good for hits
  2. Being exposed as a serial killer is good for hits
  3. Flamewars are great for hits
  4. If at all possible, blog nekkid. They can tell.

Jack Fucking Rebney, Master of the Universe

Feast your eyes upon perhaps the greatest fucking goddam motivational sales video in the fucking history of the goddam fucking internets, brought to you by Defamer.

Seriously, I’m thinking that Arthur Miller scripted it and it’s some rough cut of an unreleased “Death of a Winnebago Salesman” project. Wikipedia begs for the update

National Salami Appreciation Day!

Salami

Okay, so it’s a foreign country. Am I about to pass up a day dedicated to appreciation of the salami, just because it’s only declared south of the 49th parallel? Hardly; you just know that, as with all other trends, it’ll be in Vancouver in 26 months anyway.

So word reaches us at the ol’ raincoaster blog, via cafe cj, that September 7th is, in fact and in actuality, National Salami Appreciation Day. And lo, this is verily exactly the kind of holiday we here can get behind or even in front of, if asked nicely, for in truth we appreciate the salami to no small degree.

What’s your favorite way to celebrate National Salami Appreciation Day? Cafe CJ suggests a number of wholesome activities, although I must confess to a weakness for playing Hide the Salami. You?
