This web thing. Crazy, right? Just so much of it; so many networks, socials, twitbooks, facefeeds... Virals are good, viruses are bad... Criminey, how's a guy supposed to keep up?

Don't panic. Pete Codella's here. And he's gonna sing you a song that will fix your fuddled little head right up about this whole crazy web 2.0 communities thing

OK. Did you see it through to the end? And you're still able to read through your tear/vomit-filled eyes? Good.

So, first thing here is not to think about how that's 2.57 minutes of your life that you're NEVER going to get back (that's right, it's not even three minutes long, baby - how's that for proving time is relative?). You gotta think about how you'll never actually be Pete Codella. You're not him. He is. Pete Codella is Pete Codella so you don't have to be. That there's a cautionary tale in 2.57 agonising minutes. There's few horror movies as effective in 10 times the time. You might still go camping in the woods, swimming in the sea or fool around with your girl whilst reading from the Necromonicon, but you're NEVER going to think about turning your IT presentation into a quirky music video!

Pete's blog to accompany this... piece... states 'I’ve been reminded that creating a different kind of product for your industry helps set you apart.'

Yes, Pete. You have truly set yourself apart. To recap: Viral is good, virus is bad, and shit awful is shit awful no matter what kind of twisted spin you want to put on that sucker.

Keep th' faith,

I've found evidence that there is a future for the emaciated stick girls on the Hedkandi posters. They gain about 4lbs, get married, have kids and go on cheap day saver trips to the seaside.

I mean, you can still see she's all about the party, but these days the jellies come with ice cream and the ecstacy is from the kids opening presents and eating too much toothkandi.
 
Bless.

Not sure if this will embed in my blog. Gonna give it a shot anyway.

Excellent guide to the past, present and (a little) future for
multi-platform media projects. I love the emails and sites seeded within
shows, hidden away for fans to find - the key being REWARD for the fans
persistence and zeal. If you set up a site within a show, you gotta make
that site's content outstanding AND credible within the universe which
directed you towards that content. That's the key to take away from this -
make the content WORTHY of your audience. Don't just do it because you think
you should. Do it because you believe in it and because it makes your
product a richer treat to consumers.

Anyway - I bet this is a load of code on the page, so just in case, here's

Surely things have gone awry at Hedkandi Heights? The girls are getting terrifyingly thin - even by geek-boy comics/designer standards. The artist clearly has developed an ink anorexia:

So, here's a recent piece of spam:

Touch her heart with your new babymaker.

Now, at first I was a little surprised by the, oh I don't know, sensitivity? of this ad for penis enlargement. I mean - read it, it's quite New Man really: Touch her heart with your new babymaker. You're going to come together in a joyful, romantic union to commit to that most precious of acts to create a new life.

Awwwww…

But then, reading again: Touch her heart with your new babymaker.

How fucking LONG are you making this thing that you can actually touch her heart with it!? And surely that's a fatal action? Let alone the actual lightly deadly act of prodding at a woman's heart with a ludicrously long love stick while shagging, but the amount of vital organs that must have been battered and pushed aside in the process of said behemoth babymaker making its way up there!

God, it's too horrible to consider. Don't even go there. (In so many ways!)

I apologise and leave you with cute floaty otters holding hands to take your mind off all things awful

Keep th' faith,
Dan
