don’t you hate it when bloggers write stupid “sorry i’m not writing” posts?

Work is good. It’s keeping me busy. I would love to talk about the project that I’m working on, except for two things:

  1. The five pages of non-disclosure agreements. What I can say: it’s a BIG project, and when it launches, I’ll link to it with an explanation of how and why I did what I did, and then list all the Trackbacks from Zeldman that say I did a shitty job. (As he speaks in third person, of course.)
  2. Even if I WAS allowed to write about this stuff, none of you guys would care anyway. For those that would care, this is what it would be in a nutshell: Web-standards good, CSS Zen Garden good, Eolas bad. Link to Zeldman and StopDesign, maybe the new Automatic Labs. Enter a diatribe about a Titanium iBook, and there you go.

So there ya go. Maybe a satellite will fall on me during lunch so I have something to talk about.

Nothing against Zeldman, of course. I could just see him writing something like, “Zeldman doesn’t like Ernie’s usage of the table tag!”

And in all honestly, he probably care if I used the table tag or not. Or refer to himself as “Zeldman.”

I just like his orange hat. It’s funny!!! ^_^ *

Technically, his hat is blue; the book is orange. I only know that because I work for the publishing company that put out the book, and I had to edit the author image for our catalog site. Which is not standards compliant, BTW. YET. We’re working out little web tails off on that….

We could start a fund to get you a little Ernie as cartoon character (dex ernie?) tattoo for your butt… then you’d have a lot to talk about.

Ernie: “So I’ve noticed that some of you seem to have a facination with my ass…”

Try to stand near an open area and maybe a toilet from the International Space Station will hit you. Being a reaper would be so cool.

I just wanted to apologize for not doing a lot of commenting lately. I’m a little tired of blog commenting these days, so I’m going to be taking a break, a commenting hiatus, if you will. It’s nice though to know you’ll be here when I get back.

you had two double mochas…wah! I hate you, no I love you I’m just jealous you get free coffee.

You talk about world politics , aliens, porn, alien pron or write a music review on that Koop remix CD you burned from me.

One day, Ernie, your mother is going to find your blog and realize how many people adore her. Then she will start a blog of her own and everyone will go there instead of here. But don’t worry, I’ll keep reading your blog. Especially if you write more posts about doughnuts.

If you’d go to Guerrilla Leather Bar with me tonight, you’d have all sorts of things to write about!!! :)
P.S. They are taking over the Hard Rock Cafe on the Wharf. 9pm. Be there.

Strike that…its 730p. In fact, here are the gory details:

GQB’ers — As promised, we’ve picked out where our Hell Bent For Leather adventure will take place this Saturday, September 27. Don your best Heavy Metal Tribute to Folsom Street Leather and meet us at the Hard Rock Cafe at Pier 39. That’s right, we are going to invade the darkest heart of San Francisco: Fisherman’s Wharf, and give the crab-cracking, chowder-slurping tourists a lesson in SF nightlife that they will all talk about at their next Rotary Club meeting back in Kansas.

So, get out those Judas Priest studded cock rings (the one’s you thought were wristbands in high school… right), polish your vinyl jeans, strap on your leather harness, and haul your ass to the Hard Rock around 7:30 p.m. Look for the mayhem at the bar.

so i’m the only wannabe nerd who would look forward to #2? blah.

when you get tired of seeing the trackbacks from zeldman saying you suck you could always read Mezzoblue’s Real World entry. I found it a good read and I’m not even a professional web designer. :D
