It looks sad but don’t worry, we were just posing… or were we?
I found this comment on a Youtube video this morning:
“Apple is so successful because it makes beautiful, usable products and interfaces. I am a big fan of Apple for this reason, they know how to design.”
You have no idea how much money I spend trying out different skins for my gadgets… it’s not good being vain but I can’t help it!! I like my things to look hot and sexy like Apple’s products and interfaces. It’s not that I want to jump on the Apple bandwagon because it’s the “cool thing to do” but when you’re a designer, you appreciate these little things that makes using technology and user interfaces so much fun.
iTunes use to be my worst enemy but I’m starting to love it after trying out other programs and looking at their shitty interfaces and realizing how much more complicated they are compared to iTunes. I’m an avid Blackberry user (and touchscreen hater) but once Apple comes out with a phone with a QWERTY keyboard, bye bye RIM! The interface on the Blackberry just can’t compare to iPhone’s.
APPLE IS JUST SEXY. ♥ Perfect for the vain, like me. 
Blogging to me, is a strong source of therapy and self-discovery. Have you ever thought of starting a personal blog? Well it’s never a bad time to start!
- Don’t start a blog solely to make money if it’s your first. Try starting a casual/personal blog first to see how you’ll like it first because it can only be successful if you really enjoy writing and not treat it just as another “job.”
- Write for your readers AND yourself but don’t feel like you have to hold yourself back from what you want to say because it is your blog.
- We all know bloggers are narcissistic to some degree but don’t try to be funny if your not. And please don’t classify yourself as a “humor blogger” because the best humor bloggers are the ones who are natural witty writers and don’t need to tell the world they are funny (eg. Dooce).
- Don’t pretend to be all nice and sweet if your not because that’s boring! We all hate arrogant people but I think it spices up a blog (just don’t overdo it). Some people’s blogs get popular because of their cocky personalities but I shall leave them unnamed (even though I enjoy reading them too).
I’m not saying you should be arrogant but don’t be afraid to show your true personality. - It’s okay to be bi-polar once in a while. It makes things interesting.
- I mentioned this before, but it’s worth another: blog in conversational tone!! It would avoid your entries being skipped through out of hundreds of other blogs we subscribe to because it’s quick and easy to read.
- Reply to your commentators! You don’t have to reply to ALL of them because time is a luxury but if he/she repeatedly comments on your entries, it’s courtesy to say a little thank you.
This video made me tear.
Tasha (a.k.a. T) is a a part Korean and African-American hip hop artist in Korea and she’s one of the best! She’s known as the Queen of Soul in the Korean music industry and married to the Korean hip hop legend, Tiger JK. This was one of her first music videos I watched that got me hooked on her music.
