If you all read my first post, which I hope you did, I will now explain myself a little bit more. I am a Guide Writer for the Web site findingDulcinea, and I have been working at the company for about half a year. findingDulcinea takes the clutter of the Internet, which causes search engine fatigue, and humanizes it. In other words, individuals like myself scour the Internet, find the best sites on many, many different topics, and present them to you in an easily accessible manner.
Now, if you read my previous entry you may be thinking “How could someone who hates the word blog write for an Internet company?” Chances are, you were not thinking that. But say for a second you were. The Internet is a big place, scary if you will. I have been known to cry from time to time even thinking about said Internet. It’s overwhelming…there have to be approximately 2.8 zillion Web sites in existence, most of them awful. I’m probably not helping matters by writing this blog, because, there is a fairly good chance that this blog will, in fact, be awful. So findingDulcinea may weed out bad sites, like this one, and give you the gems. It makes the Internet less scary…you’ll will save a lot of money on psychiatry and what not.
Next, why the name “Ever Heard of It?” I went to Cornell University, a fine establishment for learning and coldness located in the tropical paradise of Ithaca, NY. So, I walk into work the first day, wearing my sunglasses and tuxedo, smoking my pipe, and rolling some dice in my hand…I take a seat, stare at my fellow Guide Writers. “Where’d you go to school?” they’d say. “Cornell…ever heard of it?”
Oh they heard of it all right…they heard of it quite well. But in reality, that is not what happened. In reality, I was wearing a top hat as well.
Okay, so the line comes from the show The Office on NBC. There’s a character on the show named Andy. He’s a jerk. And of course, he went to Cornell (still not sure if there’s a Cornellian on the writing department or if all the writers just really hate Cornell). He has this tendency to always say that he went to Cornell, was drunk all the time, and “Ever heard of it?” So, as the Cornellian in my own “office” I had to represent, and be the office jerk.
Welcome to my blog yet again. And stay tuned for my exciting adventures cliff jumping, jet flying, and wrestling monkeys! But mainly sleeping. A lot of sleeping…
