Remember when Neil Gaiman posted something to his journal that I’d sent him? Remember how I’m a hopeless geek about someone I’ve never met’s responding to even the smallest thought that I might have had that one time and oh my god just add Wil Wheaton to the list, mm’k?

A literal translation of the Take on Me video, as blogged about by Wil Wheaton. I can’t say why this amuses me as much as it does, but I guess in a world with “Badgers Badgers” and “Peanut Butter Jelly Time,” this is really a work of genius.

This is the most dysfunctional technology relationship I’ve ever had.

Twitter / Wil Wheaton

… in response to Twitter’s on-again/off-again relationship to its features. I feel his pain, and I’ve only been using Twitter for a couple of months. I don’t remember being very demanding with earlier apps like AIM, but I also don’t feel like this is necessarily being demanding. Twitter says it’s going to do Thing A, gets a few million users that like the idea of doing Thing A, and then promptly drops functionality regarding Things A.1, A.2, A.3 … or, in some worst-case scenarios (read: every day or so), drops functionality for all of Thing A. That is, it drops off the face of the intarweb altogether.

Sometimes it doesn’t even bother to use the cute but trite image of the whale flying on a web held aloft by birds. It just goes down. All the way down.

And it’s the strangest thing, this feeling that Twitter owes me something. Because it most certainly doesn’t. None of these free Web services do. And yet … if it would just would run smoothly, I’d be wearing Twitter T-shirts and singing its praises. As it is, I’m just singing its praises (the kid can’t help it) and hoping for the best in the long run.

C’mon, Twitter. Fix thyself.

You know what would be awesome? A real life Rickroll: you go to a concert, expecting to see a particular band, but when the lights come down, holy shit there’s Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up on stage FOR REAL. Just the one song, then the band you were there to see comes out.

Wil Wheaton is a genius. I hope someone with enough pull and an unmarked envelope full of blackmail photos of Rick Astley can make this happen.
