Dear dude, please don't be "that guy"
I just had a comment posted on my Facebook profile, that actually miffed my feathers so much I deleted it. Frankly, I NEVER delete anything. I think any press is good press, and even in the world of online reputation management, having people have SOME sort of opinion about you is fab.
The comment wasn't even anything too harsh, but I just don't think you guys REALLY get how much work goes into this whole shabang.
I say this as HUMBLY as possible, but do you understand that I have to break EVERYTHING down for the non-nerd uber big wigs ... and explain to them that THIS IS A BIG DEAL. I'm not saying anyone else can't do what I did, (again, I'm not special, I'm just awesome) - but when we're talking about life rights, perpetuity, and posterity - #ShitGetsReal.
I know to the nerdy folk, you all can sit there and wrap your brain around it ... but explaining that this is a REVOLUTION to people who still find Pogs to be of cultural relevance is a HORSE of a different color.
People don't hand you things in life. YOU HAVE TO GET OFF YOUR @SS AND SHOW UP AND GET IT!!! When we're talking the kind of figures that I'm dealing with - I have to not only explain the medium, explain why it works, and explain where it is going. It's NUTS!
We need to stick together el duderinos if we are going to be able to clearly communicate our bottom line, and what the heck all of this actually means. I only have the help of the community in this. That's IT! If it weren't for you guys, I'd have fallen flat on my face 100,000 times already. I'm taking CRAZY BIG risks - and I'm not asking for an award or a breast to pin it on, but just stop being that dude. When I have to screen shot something, and you're looking like a tool, and it gets all tagged and google-able ... I mean come on man, social media responsibility!!
Alrite, feel better ... back to work! =) #NerdsUnite
