one of my favorite things to do is get jenni all riled up about jason kottke. it is so much easier now that he quit his job and is having people pay him to write his blog

[bertine.livejournal.com]

no, the worst part is that people and companies donated gifts for him to give to his subscribers.

jason kottke: i invented 'sense of entitlement'

[-odium-.livejournal.com]

i wonder how long it'll be before our professional web developer friend will be blogging professionally. they already think the world owes them everything. ;)

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna guess 2 hours after reading this.

[-odium-.livejournal.com]

you're so hopful.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

also, i love how you only really us the word "fuck" when talking about him. it is so ingrained in you at this point.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

it's because i cannot adequately express my rage over people who think they are owed something just for existing.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

the worst part is that you could see it turn out this way when we first started reading him. he has always been into the whole shaping of internet culture like this.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

personally, i could see the moment he turned on his webcam years and years ago that he would regularly fill me with anger whenever i remembered he existed.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yet you watched his camera all the time.

until he moved away and he wasn't a minneapolis thing anymore.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

i wanted to see if i could figure out how someone could be such a pretentious dumbass and still survive. obviously, it happens all the time.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

he is not only surviving but is getting the internet to support him.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

clearly, he's smarter than all of us. he figured out how to have no guilt over having other people support him.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i don't think it is a lack of no guilt, rather the belief that he is so important that people should pay to have him write. i mean, working interfears with blogging you know.

hahahahahah wow.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, he is an "insitution" and jenni has hated him forever.
