I mean that in a non-narcissistic way. I'm supremely pissed off that it wasn't, but... eh, you can make it up to me the next time we meet. By then, I'll be namedropping with the best of 'em! Oh, did you see my tweet about who I had lunch with the other day? It was amazing, and you weren't there. <br><br>You're in this for the right reasons, and for that reason... you'll continue to succeed. You may live down under, but you're on top in my book. Not that I would know if you happen to be someone who likes it on... nevermind. I'm outta here. Gotta find a place with more ego.

The question really remains as to what a celebrity is? To many people, celebrity means different things. The fact of the matter is that you are only a celebrity to me if you are down to earth and can take the time to acknowledge my existence. If not, what good are you to me and your many other "fans."<br><br>Jeremy does ask a great question... who are your heroes? Duncan, good stuff. The question really remains as to what a celebrity is?

Jeremy does ask a great question… who are your heroes?

This is the best post I have ever read since I started reading Tech and others blogs. You seem to be the only blogger capable to post about the latest advancements in tech, the latest gossip news, and still have the critical realism to grasp that there is a world outside the blogosphere and the internet. You surprised me when you post about "furious" rail commuters in Argentina, you surprised me even more when you decided not to install google's chrome, reminding us that we still have the right to choose, and that I don't have to go after the latest tech- toy only because it is google-related and the entire blogosphere is writing about that. As you said in your post you don't like the ideals of celebrity, but let me tell you, in south America, without a laptop, without IPhone, without broadband access; only with a desktop PC, using my job Internet connection, working hours and resources ( and still being productive?¢‚Ǩ¬¶ J), you have a fan. Thanks for all the posts Ducan, The Inquisitr rules!!! Great post!!! This is the best post I have ever read since I started reading Tech and others blogs.

I feel better then. I had proposed what I thought was an awesome session for Blog World and got turned down and have been feeling downright pissy about it. I forgot it was all about who you know and not what you know or what you are interested in. Thanks for the reminder. I should quit submitting ideas to these things. No one gives a rat's ass about anything but who you are, and I'm with you in not caring, only with even less tact. Oh good. I feel better then.
