Not so awesome, but definitely committed (or maybe should be).

I agree with Nathan Clarke on this one.

This is the natural outcome of far too many self-styled self-help gurus. I laughed out loud (really loud).

I can’t really add anything to that.

All-in-all, an okay compilation of random how-tos… But that’s not what this post is about.

Now, I’m all for having social-network links in blog posts. Hell, you’ll notice them below posts on this site. I think these links should be there if you need them, but pretty unobtrusive. I like to think they’re pretty subtle here. Hongkiat, apparently, has a different opinion:

link-whoring

This is what we call whoring. That image is only slightly narrower than the content column. The thing was (relatively) huge!  At least it wasn’t an insane list of sites a mile long, such as Real Tech News a few years ago. (The image was made for a fark post a long time ago. They’ve gotten much better since then.)

Remember kids, Sharing is Caring™, until you force the diabetic kid to eat a Twinkie because you think it’s good for him.

If you’re interested in the unabridged song, look no further:

I really want to call these guys up to get a quote for a title sequence. (John E was surprised “Typography” wasn’t one of their listed services.
