Zero Fuckery & Zero Fucks
Zero Fuckery
Too much of the modern internet is powered by absolute fuckery - those bastard cookie popup windows, notification modals, newsletter signups, and another round of 'do you want cookies' when you just answered yes!
I'm tired of that shit: the web was better in 1999.
Zero Fucks
When you've been right in calling it, consistently, for decades there comes a time when the giving of fucks ceases.
Fucks remaining: 0
Zero compromising
I'm doing shit my way. Don't like it? Tough. Fuck what you think.
You can tell me I'm right in five or ten years when you've caught up.
I had people tell me:
- Nobody wants the internet in their pocket
- Nobody wants to order food online
- Nobody wants to buy things on their phone
I see blind people. No vision. No foresight. Fucking idiots, everywhere.
Firsts & Disruptions
I built a food ordering site 2 years before Just Eat, was doing on demand audio 4 years before podcasting was a thing, and had a music download store before Spotify. NASA, Nintendo, Stanford and Shrek all used my shit. I made a plugin AdMob rode to a $750m exit, sold over a million ringtones, did the first live mobile payment on PayPal, and was the first live voice on UK DAB. I thought up the spam reporting on your phone, and shit loads 'Moore'...
Stubborn, not smart
Please don't confuse stubbornness, determination and a refusal to quit till I get what I want with being smart. I persist where others go 'fuck this' and give up. I'm just a stoned part-evolved monkey.
The universe whispers things to me: I pay attention, then do stuff...
Next target: firmly locked in sight
I wanted a streaming radio platform to launch a radio station. Couldn't find one I didn't think was shite or overpriced so spent hundreds of hours swearing at a screen to create what I needed.
I ended up making something utterly autistic and amazing.
I'm not even linking to it: when you need it - it will find you.
Humanity is fucked
One final dark prediction:
- Your grandchildren will be cyborgs and will have no soul
I'm willing to sacrifice all modernity, electricity, the internet and 98% of humans on this planet to prevent that. We NEED a Carrington Event, but bigger, without it, there's no humanity left in 100 years.
Every time I "call it" I get it right, or am so damn close.
The future I know is coming should scare the fuck out of you.
Don't contact me
I don't care and don't wanna know
