People: An Observation

I find it fascinating that every time I send out a Needcoffee newsletter, there's always a dozen or so folks who instantly unsubscribe from the list. These aren't longtimers who are now sick of our shite, they're all brand new people receiving their first newsletter. They probably requested to join via the contests and didn't realize what they were doing.

Which leads me to the conclusion that when they received their confirmation e-mail that says, "Please confirm that you want to join this Needcoffee/One Tusk newsletter," they clicked yes. There's no other way to get on the list. And they clicked yes without even checking out the site. Because it's no mystery who we are or what we do. So they blindly said, sure, send me a newsletter without even investigating us. Can you imagine how much spam these people must get if they just click "Sure" any time someone asks them something? I have half a mind to send them a Paypal request for payment and see what they do. I bet they also believe the spam when it says, "Unsubscribe me by e-mailing us here."

People. They do amuse me so.

Widge and headphones

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
