Embarassing To The 10th Power

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

For the past couple of weeks I have been checking out Guy Kawaski’s “Alltop” which is a site that features all of the top stories, websites and blogs – much like a magazine rack would. If you haven’t checked it out do it right now (but be prepared to be distracted for a while) because there is something for everyone there. You will find some good reads or at minimum, something to pique your interest for 2 or 3 hours.

So as a fledgling writer/blogger I started to wonder how I – the little blogger that could – could get picked for placement on Alltop. And since I am woefully unsophisticated I figured I might was well cut to the chase and just ask the folks who put this thing together instead of trying to figure out another method to get attention. Can’t hurt to ask, can it? Right?

Wrong. Yesterday morning I started writing what was supposed to be a clever and witty email to Guy and his partners about how they should feature “Bacon Is My Enemy.” However, midway through my email I got interrupted and had to stop writing to deal with something urgent. AND instead of pressing “save draft” – in my haste I clicked on the “send” button instead.

Oh God … (more…)

Shameless!

In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.

Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

This site is hosted by BlueHost. They have good manners and never yell or make me feel like an idiot - even when I did that one thing which was very, very bad. I think they are swell.

This is the personal website of Giyen Kim. I use this space to let off steam and write exceedingly bad prose.

For all intents and purposes, I can be best described as a writer, foodie, web designer, humorist, and news junkie. I am also a big dreamer and lover of all people. This means you too.

And case you were wondering, yep that's me up there rockin the Buster Browns and modified Dorthy Hamill haircut. As you can tell, my parents were unusually cruel. This would probably explain why I spend most mornings hiding under the covers, wishing that it was Sunday.
