I typed an entire blog and hit backspace and lost it.

FUCK.

Hey, Firefox (and all browsers while we’re making this a point), REMOVE BACKSPACE FROM YOUR SHORTCUT KEYS. That’s really annoying.

Um, so yeah – the blog was about how to spot bullshitters and dismiss them from your business and your life in general. It’s pretty easy if you’ve got your guard up. Just watch out for sappy, emotional words like “close, personal” and such. We ARE emotional creatures and easily get caught up in all that nonsense if our guard is down. If you feel they’re exaggerating the truth or going through a ton of unnessesary tangents, you’re probably being bullshitted. Just make sure you ask for legitimate proof of their services, more than 3 testimonials that you can follow up on (and make sure you follow up on them), and a trial run of whatever they’re offering to see if it actually works. If these three things cannot be provided in some way, you’re being bullshitted and need to put a big question mark over their legitimacy. (Politicians are MASTERS of bullshit, heh heh)

Of course you’ll have to adjust that last paragraph to whatever situation you’re in. Bottom line: draw the line and if someone crosses it, dismiss ‘em.

That’s all from me for now. New Psychostick site design coming soon. I recently picked up a book called “Sexy Web Design.” Holy crap – I finally have a little guidance with design. I’ve always been a self-taught developer without any real guidance from someone genuine. Believe it or not – most web developers that I’ve dealt with personally that are good at their trade often tend to be closed off, pompus, and arrogant. Weird eh?

But this book – hell yeah. Check it out if you’re a web designer and need some pointers. It helped me tremendously.

Another GREAT book for marketing is Buyology. You will be surprised at what works and what doesn’t on a neuroscientific level.

Awesomeness.

On another note, we’re going to tour with Pennywise for 3 dates. Hell yes.
