Ok, I know I'm not supposed to name other bloggers in my entries, but I hope we can make an exception here. Brad, as CEO of Stardock and the driving force behind the goodness of Joe User, deserves a little jab once in awhile to keep him on his feet. Besides, I like the guy, even if HE IS THE DEVIL!
Well, not the Biblical Satan intent on the downfall of man. More like Old Saint Nick, waiting to tempt you with your greatest desire at every turn. Brad does that, the tempting thing, and it's time that I warn other JU users to his wicked ways! of course, if you're here, it's probably too late for you...
I've know Brad as an acquaintance online for some time now. At first I thought he was a pretty nice guy. Windowblinds was a hit, and here was this smiling guy behind the scenes handing out goodies to everyone that wanted to make their computer special. Little did I know then, Windowblinds would consume a large part of my life! Wasting my valuable time tweaking new Windowblind skins to suite my own taste, imagining the next cool skin... I could have been saving children from burning buildings!
You'd think that was enough, causing me to neglect the poor children, but no, Brads company Stardock just had to offer the apple again - this time as DesktopX! The first real Windows widget application, DesktopX was years ahead of anything else. I personally spent so much time making zoomer objects during the first of this century that its amazing my wife ever became pregnant! Good thing the kids look like me!
But Brad didn't stop there. Oh no, next it was Object Dock, with all of its neat little animated effects and super cool plug ins. Just when I thought I had broken free of my addiction to brightly colored animated objects, the dealer gives away another fix. I can't even imagine how many cats are stuck in trees to this day because I was too busy running my cursor back and forth over Object Dock, watching it zoom up and down.
So recently I felt free. The devil I knew was behind me. Until I get another email me my acquaintance. "Check out this new free community we've set up... https://www.joeuser.com. You might like it." You know the rest. I sit here, day after day, thinking of plastic bottles I could be recycling... all the sufferring the enviroment will endure because I sit here night after night blogging! Once again, all Brads fault! He's the devil I tell you!!!
