\t\t\t\t\t\t Alll day long I’ve been getting comments on the goofy rap parody I put on YouTube<\/a> on Tuesday night .\u00a0 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<\/a> 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..\u00a0 but then I started obsessing about some of the negative comments I’d gotten.. and I mean.. really obsessing.. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Engineers can’t sing. They need to use their own invention, the auto tune<\/span><\/i>“<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “That is one creepy engineer. Technicolor lab coat FTL<\/span><\/i>“<\/p>\n

\u00a0 All night I’vve been plotting how Im going to completely redo that damned video before another person sees it..
\u00a0\u00a0 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 t<\/i>o read the blogs for fear that would happen. <\/i>Early on I used to obsess about how many folks read this blog.. or how many Wacebook friends I was picking up.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0 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.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Oh wait.. someone just posted abotehr comment. better go check it out…<\/p>\n

nite folks.. Nite Sam
