More Like A Plateau

Yesterday I was of course referring to Lock's guest stint on Valleywag. He clocked in the lowest traffic weekday in the blog's modern A.D. era.

I've always said he's a pretty funny guy in person but his writing bores me to tears and smears on my spores. To be fair, he's a service journo type who doesn't go for the over-easy or hard-boiled jokes. I'm not really sure how one would make real estate and food all that humorous anyway. (Well, I do, but those topics don't interest me.)

I will commend Lock's Valleywag effort, if only because he used the opportunity to mock the very concept of blogging itself. He took the reigns of a blog that is supposed to cover the Silicon Valley tech scene and he did anything but that. Instead he used the platform for self-promotion and only linked to friends or people he expects favors from. To do any differently would have been pointless.

P.S. Hey Nick Douglas, why are you still contributing to the site? You were fired. Here's the memo. Under it you might find some self-respect.
