Alll day long I’ve been getting comments on the goofy rap parody I put on YouTube on Tuesday night .  It’s gotten about 10,000 hits in the last 2 days and it’s starting to find its way around. This evening it was picked up by the techno-blog Gizmodo and got anoher 8,000 hits.. and a bunch more comments.. At first, i was really psyched to see folks watching it… and apparently liking it..  but then I started obsessing about some of the negative comments I’d gotten.. and I mean.. really obsessing..

          “Engineers can’t sing. They need to use their own invention, the auto tune“

           “That is one creepy engineer. Technicolor lab coat FTL“

  All night I’vve been plotting how Im going to completely redo that damned video before another person sees it..
   I started thinking about how much ego goes around some of this social media.. I also remember obsessing about the blog comments around the Colony Our producers warned us never to read the blogs for fear that would happen. Early on I used to obsess about how many folks read this blog.. or how many Wacebook friends I was picking up.  
   I’ve always relied way to much on external validation.. I thin all this social media stuff just better automated and streamlined my ability to obsess. I now have convenient hit counters and link statistics to precisely calculate my self worth for me.. it’s very convenient.. and really insane.. I know.  

Oh wait.. someone just posted abotehr comment. better go check it out…

nite folks.. Nite Sam
