A Public Service Announcement for Dorks.
Judging from the latest hate mail received here at the lair, it seems a couple of you don’t know how the Internet works.
You see, on this little thing I keep updating (you know, that thing you’re probably reading now), I’m posting my lame music. Believe it or not, I’m not doing this just to post the little album art pictures.
See that? That’s just a picture. It’s not important. It’s like the shiny wrapping paper that you wrap a present in to give it to someone. In this case it’s wrapping a turd, but hey it’s free.
I made the joke about right-clicking before and it turns out a lot of you don’t actually know you can do that. I blame society.
Well, actually the most popular entry I’ve ever made is definitely that one where I spend an hour and a half telling you to pop a capacitor off an Arduino board which, despite what you might think, is not going to tell you how to do your homework.
In the spirit of goodwill, here’s a little walkthrough – a cheat code – if you will, as to how to actually use the webernets.

Indeed. You see, a long time ago some fart came up with the concept of the hypertext on the interwebbers, which isn’t something you take Ritalin for – although judging from the mail some of you should. The Intarweb is based on this stuff called “links” which means, like, “This thing? There’s another thing behind it that you can follow and have more wacky adventures with.” Usually, those wacky web people make it a different colour, or something bizarre to distinguish it from the surrounding text and pictures and other weird stuff.
So, in addition to pushing the little audio player button and hearing the lamest music ever made, you can actually right-click on the link above it – which I go through great time and expense to make for you – so you can save it to your computer and listen to it again and again and again.
To make some things even easier, if you look somewhere way up there, you’ll see links to “Music 2010″, “Music 2009″, and even that turd “The Old Music” in which you can see every crap piece of shit music I’ve ever posted on here. I just blew your mind, didn’t I?
Pro-tip, I’ve gone ahead and made real hypertext links in this very entry – you can practice your skills on them!
Now, have a nice day. If you’re not a Dork, then this post wasn’t for you. Lighten up, Francis.
Coda: that stupid “pop the capacitor” post is running about 12 times the popularity of the most popular musical post (yeah, and guess which one).
