So, if you’ve been paying attention (and, given our freakishly long absence from podcasting, I mean, why would you? But I’m gratified that you are) you know that I’ve got a brand new axe (my MacBook Pro. I call her Vera) and Freak is now using my old PowerBook. I had hoped that this would open up all sorts of possibilities, like a virtual studio for our podcasts, freeing us up from the significant constraint of having to be in the same room, and possibly getting Freak to blog.
I really had the hope for Freak catching the blogging bug, I mean, how could it fail? He’s funny, reads more than I do—which is saying something folks—he even reads real books (without pictures, even!) that have nothing to do with Star Wars and shit. And, get this, he even keeps a diary journal (at least he did last I checked). So blogging should be second nature to him.
Only thing is, it’s taking a christly long fucking time for me to get in touch with his inner nerd. I mean, what the fuck, man? Seems like all he wants to do is download porn, download music, and play fantasy fucking baseball. Holy shit.
I’ve tried schooling him in the finer things ‘Net, like Bittorrent, RSS, del.icio.us, hell, just leaving a chat client open so I don’t have to go get my phone just to send him and interesting link. Folks, it’s like throwing shit at greased glass: nothing fucking sticks.
Okay, I’m bitching and I’m probably not being all that fair—not that you read (or listen) to hear me be fair to Freak, right? I’m sure he’ll catch up soon enough. Or maybe he’ll download all the porn in the free world first, I don’t know, but until then let’s try an experiment: I’m going to link a porn site that I just know he’ll be all over and we’ll see how long it takes him to find it. If nothing else I’ll know that he’s not watching the blog and I’ll have something new to bust his balls over.
So, here’s your link to Petite Teenager (tiny tits, mostly no shoes). Clock’s ticking.
