This is the first Time I give 10 out of 10 for an article

Very interesting article.

It was the first time after a long time ago that I learned so much from one article

Less. Brilliant.

Try recording yourself reading paragraphs from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, then play the audio backwards, slowly, for inspiration.

I can't believe I never thought of any of those suggestions. I feel so stupid!

Jason's lastname is also a joke?

Happy April Fool's Day everyone! We've placed a note at the top of the article to clear up any confusion that may have arisen.

Glad so many of you enjoyed the article, I certainly had a lot of fun writing it! And many of you correctly identified the inspiration (if you're not sure, take a look at the author's profile for a big hint!)

Edit:

Oops, it's been removed. It read "Jason Gried is President of the successful Chicago-based web abbreviations company 37singles. This is his first SitePoint article."

Cheers
Matt

Oh, and for the record, SitePoint certainly does not encourage the practices that the article advocates. Especially those comments about defacing train stations, misleading investors or reinventing your identity!

A great read, and of course I loved the sarcasm. Good work!.

stymiee · Apr 7, 2006, 06:42

I'm out of fluff. Anyone got some to spare that I can borrow?
