Blogging on Blogs - Enter the Fake Steve

fakesteve.com is truly a brilliant parodic work. taking one of the most narcissistic figures in the history of business and anthropomorphizing his sardonic narcissism to the point of creating a separate persona capable of enticing 1185 people to say "i actually want to hear what this person has to say" is a work of art. daniel lyons has been blogging as fake steve jobs since 2006, originally remaining anonymous. a brief hiatus was taken in response to steve jobs' health, but once he announced his recovery, the blog continued. posts range from hours apart to almost a month apart (save the hiatus), and they are vastly a humorous "attack" on apple's holier than thou nature in their products. the tagline "dude, i invented the friggin iphone. have you heard of it?" rests atop the page as a constant reminder that apple is truly in love with their products. the blogs also focus on attacking its numerous competitors in the various fields of business (apple vs. pc; iphone vs. android vs. windows mobile; etc.) in a humorous manor, often using the "it doesn't matter, we're still better" logic in the face of defeat. all in all, while this blog is a parodic work, i found it to be so much more. to quote al gore, this blog truly is the inconvenient truth. kudos.
