So far we’ve had some hits and misses with this feature. Two bitches, a candlestick maker, and a guy called “Scooter.” I wasn’t sure who to pick for the latest run. I decided to go a bit different this time, picking a group blog.
Enter Fat Penguin.
In Their Own Words
Linux, Gaming, Programming, Gadgets, Kidnapped citrus fruits, Comedy, and Anime are just some of the topics covered at Fat Penguin blog. Learn about some of the coolest gadgets or just enjoy a little comedy, Fat Penguin style. Updated every day!
I’ve gone geek.
Behind The Bloggers
I was hoping to get a brief bio on each of the writers (Scott, Cory, UnderpaidLoveMonki, and Bucho) but instead the links are simply grouped entries in category form. They’re a bunch of ‘net geeks, having fun and sharing information about what’s hot and what’s not.
Bucho’s latest about the human skateboarder made me laugh, but the rest of it isn’t so hot.
The Website
I’ll give it this much: They said they update daily and they focus on geek stuff. Some of it can be funny, like the human skateboarder, but most of it gets barely to “giggle” and that’s it.
When I saw the penguin, I immediately though Linux and expected more computer content. Instead, it’s more of a random clusterfuck of thoughts and ideas that don’t exactly mesh together in any real way. The overall assessment is that although they mean well, it comes about as lackluster.
What are your thoughts? Check out the Fat Penguin and let us know.
Lackluster. My word. Oh yeah.
I am not sure the history on Valentine’s Day, but I think it’s just a fun excuse to do something cutsie and fun for your loved one. :) That’s not the same thing as me saying that that should be the ONLY day to do something special.. but, I personally loved getting Valentine’s and candies and such in grade school or like my dad would always give me a $2 bill for some reason on Valentine’s. :P
Hmm… I wish I wrote a Valentine’s Day entry so this comment would make more sense. I’ll clarify: I left a comment at her site about Valentine’s day or something. (PS: She’s really f’n cute so go go go, even if she IS taken!)
Oh, sorry. I guess I should have left a comment reply on my page, but I figured you’d never go back. :)
At first I thought this post was going to be about Jennifer. I was sad because I actually like penguins and I don’t think they should be eaten.
Dude. These people give you credits to pimp their site, not bash it. Do you not get that?
**cough** what queers
