witness ze Frank “leveraging the emotional aftertaste.“

… for himself? Don’t be afraid. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Wondering what’s going on in the ze Frank match against the Fabulosos… OMG, ze is losing!

“I see only one move ahead, but it is always the correct one.”
– José Raúl Capablanca

Well, not really. But ze Frank has hurled the gauntlet and the League of Awesomeness has declared a game must be played. It’s fun. It’s wiki chess. Already ze is taunting the opposition with comments like:

“Oh fabulosos, you amuse me with your pretension.
Your pawn is but a suckling piglet on the teat of failure.”

C’mon over. We can beat this guy.

He posts “The Show” around 1 in the afternoon, and for the rest of the day, goes about cobbling together a living, doing speaking engagements, consulting for technology companies, and doing anything else he can think of to earn a dollar.

It’s not the cover of Rolling Stone, but it is a nice two-pager in the Sunday Styles section.

Amanda and ze Frank remind me of Josh and Donna.   First they go on like that for years and years, all that tension and everything, then she gets a great job in advertising, and he still does the same old creative stuff, but in the end where do they end up?  On some beach.  Naked.

Dave Winer wishes they wouldn’t cancel the West Wing.  I think if we did the Peter Pan “do you believe in fairies” thing we could restore the show’s light.  Do you believe?  Well do ya punk, do ya believe in fairies?  Hunh? Do ya? Do ya?  And speaking of fun couples, well there’s me and Richard Bennett, slow dancing, and I blame that all on Doc; but, also in family court today, there came a final parting of the ways.  Control/Alt/Delete dudes.

And Happy 51 Dave!  They named a highway after your age.

At this time of year, I like to watch the birdies fighting. They fluff their feathers at each other and then comes the squawking and close-in pushing and pulling and then, and then… well not much happens then, but all that feather ruffling and pushing and pulling is quite exciting for me. I like to watch it.

Today I was gratified by that same push and pull in the vLoggerverse… Amanda and ze sitting in a tray, k-i-s-s-i-n-jay… you know?

Sure, they both look good in a pink sweater, but what else do ze Frank (the show) and Amanda Congdon (Rocketboom) have in common? My assignment was to compare and contrast two of the current crop of America’s favorite vLoggers. Okay… I picked a poor day to compare and contrast. Amanda’s hair was great. ze Frank’s was not.

ze: world of warcraft, bush, sliding, polls, tony snow, power move, logo, immigration, poop

A: interactive north america gas price map, the all terrain wheelchair, black light tattoo, evil genius chronicles and amigo fish, sheep as billboards, walmart

Maybe tomorrow there will be something to compare. Today’s winner… ze Frank. Totally. Rocketboom was totally neither boing boing nor engadget. the show was totally… the show!
