Man, I thought this was going to be a post about some spiffy game that would keep me from doing work.

Eh, a blog post? I'll get around to reading that in... *checks* ...2009. Expect a comment sometime in 2011.

Needs more fucken glassing.

I was really hoping for a game.

This post was so lame I was convinced it was a self-link until I saw who posted it.

I guess we all have off days.

Heh. I like this guy. Reminds me of Charlie Brooker.

Whatever one thinks of the rant it's one of the nicest looking sites I've ever seen, so thanks for the link.

In fact, it was boringer.

I'm going to have to note in my hipster PDA that this is the lamest post of the day.

The link must be broken, there was no game, just some silly blog about hating some kinds of silly blogs?
"some people wanna fill the world with silly blog-songs,
well what's wrong with that...I'd like to know, cause here I go...agaaaain.

Does not compute.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Huh. I never knew there was a whole range of these types of blogs. I thought it was just lifehacker off by its lonesome.

I always thought glassing involved breaking the glass with the person's face, not breaking it advance.

I understand where the poster is coming from, no matter the poor execution:

The severe GTD crowd seems to have a mindless sense of mindfulness. They catalog everything about themselves, place goals in their 43 folders, and cross post ideas, what they are eating, and where they are on their blogs and Twitter accounts. When sages in the past said "Know Thyself", I don't think they meant what you had for breakfast today.

That is not to say they have no use. But like all things, diminishing returns set in. Shaving off several minutes from a trip is not usually worth the mental effort it takes to memorize, plan, and execute whatever actions it takes to shave those minutes off.

"I think I saw Jessamyn in the background, taped to the wall."

I doubt it. I don't think even duct tape is strong enough to hold her. Maybe you were just fantasizing again?

bugbread writes "Huh. I never knew there was a whole range of these types of blogs. I thought it was just lifehacker off by its lonesome."

That was totally posted to the wrong thread. Sorry.

No, wait, that was the right thread. This one: "I always thought glassing involved breaking the glass with the person's face, not breaking it advance." was the wrong thread.

Too sleepy.

Meh.

If he's feeling dictated to by other people's efforts to use their time more effectively at work and other parts of life, maybe he has other issues that need looking into.

Seems like a lot of passion over something one can very easily to choose not to care about if one, in fact, does not care about it.

One lone guy's bitter lambasting of productivity blogs isn't interesting.

A typo! AGH! I beg forgiveness from all eyeballs and brains assaulted by the stray "to" that slipped past previewing.

The "GTD crowd" and the uber-bloggers are two groups that overlap probably about as much as the "GTD crowd" and people who hate cilantro.

Man, fuck cilantro haters.

The GTD blog scene is loaded with cred-grabbing toolishness. This should be obvious to any right-thinking individual.
