I forgot to mention a few things I really wanted, and since they don’t really belong with the rants in the previous post I decided to add them separately.
1. Let me get this out of the way. I know I need to add some pizzazz to this old blog template. I really want to but for now I’m more concerned with content over form. I will, in due time, add some more links, widget and other wachamacall them.
2. I got really excited yesterday because I found out Orli Yakuel exists. While some of you might wonder if I’d been living under a rock, it would only make me even more excited. I never thought it possible to stay in Israel and have such an “internet footprint”. This girl seems amazing. I wonder if she would consider me as an apprentice.
On an almost unrelated note, when trying to convey to my father why I was excited about her, I got stumped when describing what an “internet footprint” really consists of. Did I just coin a term or can I call it that? And by “internet footprint” you must know what I mean, right? You know, the twitter-followers and the high-ranking internet-elite friends spread over various different social websites…
3. I had the weirdest, Web2.0 dream last night. I feel weird just remembering it. It started with me and my dad being invited to a festive dinner (perhaps a thanksgiving dinner? I’m not sure) at Leo Laporte‘s house. During dinner I remember talking not only to Leo but to other members of the TWiT army, and even some additional web-celebrities.
The interesting thing is that after dinner a few of us started talking shop, sorta like a tech-roundtable, and my future in the business came up. I remember going into a rant about how hard I found it to enter the business and make a name for myself, and what followed was an invitation by Steve Gillmor to help in the production of “the Gillmore Gang“. Up until this point we are talking about the best dream I ever had (excluding all dreams of sexual nature, obviously). What follows is not really important, and might be related to the fact I fell asleep watching TV: me and my dad leave the Laporte house, me thinking about how I would need to move to San Francisco and get an iPhone (and I take both as necessary evils). Once we get to the parking lot, my attention somehow shifts to the roof of an adjacent building, where Ross (the character from “Friends”) has just decided to plummet to his death, but instead manages to fall on me and I save his life.
This is where I woke up so I’m not sure whether Mr. Geller was happy about it or not, and whether I did get an iPhone or not.
