date: 072815110447 #Dear Internet, Can you give me some advice on how to write a blog post that's ostensibly "about" something, probably some kind of sociotechnocratic efficiency tip cum morality tale, but that is really a thinly disguised autohagiography about how much of a genius I am or was because look, here's how I did this one thing, see, I'm just telling you how I did it for, you know, information (NO I'M TELLING YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO BE FUCKING IMPRESSED AND COME OVER AND WARM YOUR HANDS BY THE HEAT COMING UP OFF OF MY FUCKING ENORMOUS PULSING BRAIN), but which is also, because I am deeply insecure (which insecurity is in fact another testament to my sensitivity and probable candidacy for the hall of the gods) secretly a plea for reassurance, engineered to engender a long comment thread about how totally supremely awesome I am, where only smart commenters who are able to genuflect and supplicate without making it obvious (to anybody besides me that is) will systematically ridicule and laff the dumb commenters right off the page and completely out of business? You can? All I have to do is read practically any blog post from the tech-blogger elite right now today? Oh, OK thanks!! Luv U bye.
