I cruise the web a lot and see/read lots of articles, just like many other people I know. I have Safari to let me know what RSS feeds have updated on my favorite news sites such as ABC News, TUAW, MacDailyNews and other blogs and newsworthy stuff. I’m not the most well-read blogger, by any stretch, but I get by with the help of fellow bloggers around the ‘net.
Well anyways, the über-blogger and tech pundit John Gruber (of the Daring Fireball blog) reads many interesting things too, and reports on his blog using a well-refined writing style that is diplomatic at best, but uses brute force when necessary to make a point. Every week, from his research, he writes up an entry for what he calls “Jackass Of The Week”. In fact, last month being so newsworthy with all the inane BS in both politics and techworld, he actually stated that his “jackass stamp is running out of ink!”.
I fully credit Mr. Gruber for the inspiration for me to create a new category on my blog. Please welcome my “Idiot Of The Week” category. Every week, I’ll save a few articles to review on Saturday and write up an entry worthy of the recipient that I choose. My next entry will be for the first recipient of this little-known award, so stay tuned!
Hopefully my idiot stamp won’t run out of ink too soon but, from the way things are going, I may have to get some extra stamp pads. Just in case…
Cheers!
