  Getting bogged down in syntax…or self-promotion…is not the way to change the world.

  I was not aware there was a particular way to change the world. But I do recommend everybody try. Anonymity is a good way to deflect criticism of self promotion for those who care. Not exactly sure what syntax is…I’m a poet.

  If you’re not sure what syntax is, perhaps you should reconsider your career choice.

  @tt – at risk of giving his royal mattness more exposure… this is the ‘ad’ that was on Freshly Pressed:

  http://pandodaily.com/2012/05/17/pandomonthly-nyc-with-matt-mullenweg-is-next-week-tickets-on-sale-now/

  It’s a freshly pressed blog post, which has currently slunk back to the previous page. And it clearly says ‘Tickets on Sale now!’ at the bottom of it, beneath a picture of his face.

  So, really, sfcawriter’s getting an adblocker won’t get rid of that, will it? Maybe I’m missing something here.

  No, it won’t. It’s the same as when I sell tickets to my workshops. It’s not ad code.
