Celebrating a success is always fun. If you try and write everyday on one of the technology-blogs things, sometimes you walk away feeling really good. Feeling like you hit a homerun. You look at that entry the next day with a feeling of pride and your chest puffs.
Write often enough and you’ll do the other kind, too. Those are the posts that you hope to goodness no one comments on. When you happen to flash through it on your site you feel embarrassment and pain. How did I ever write that? Why did I bother? Why did I ever think anyone would care? Could I be more pompous? How did I get sucked in?
Today let’s highlight two of our worst posts from Enquiring Mimes for October and one (dis)honorable mention. Monday we’ll celebrate victories.
It used to be called dialing while drinking I hate this post. It was about a new Gmail feature that if you tried to send email during “dangerous times” when you might be drinking, Gmail would challenge you with math problems. Google Goggles is silly and the post was worse all the way down to the coy explanation of “beer goggles”.
Obama on Expectations This mini-post praising a quote Barack Obama’s misses the mark. Note to self: If you like a politician, just say you like ‘em. Don’t stretch. Don’t write if you don’t have something to say.
More help for our aging brains — Tip of My Tongue – (dis)honorable mention – The post isn’t so bad, but the website is silly for it’s intended use. Helps you find a word you know you know but can’t remember from a partial word. Who would go to this trouble? Just use a different word. The site isn’t bad for solving word games, though.
Now you may consider this post to be the beginning of the drivel for November, if so sorry. If you found another Enquiring Mime post even more annoying. Use the comments to explain.
