Weblog Sin Pies

By Charley Daniels

One of the casualties of working all the time and being paid for it is that the little things that maybe don’t help pay the bills kind of fall off the top of the to-do list. It isn’t that I’m not dedicated to Sin Pies, it’s just that I haven’t the time or energy to put together worthwhile posts. I assure you this hiatus is temporary, though.

If BuzzDash weren’t so fun to work on, my life would be a lot more difficult right now. As it is, I’m neglecting my hobbyish activities in favor of something that’s fun and happens to be work. Not a bad deal. Speaking of, here’s a little something from the site, for your voting pleasure:

I know at least one of you (counting me) is going to wonder where the “It doesn’t matter so long as it’s pouring into my mouth” option is. You should pretend this is Heaven, where you get to choose whatever type of beer you want from this list I’ve provided. See, look at all these choices. And feel free to print that in your fancy publications, too. “BuzzDash: Sort of like Heaven.”

I know it’s cheap to keep posting these polls instead of actually writing something more substantial, but I’ve got to double-dip a little or I’ll lose my mind. Anyway, I think this is an important question that’s not getting much attention at BuzzDash, and I know the Project Wonderful crowd will have an opinion:

I could pick only five, so sorry if you feel I’ve totally missed the boat on these. Anyone have a more representative five? Let me know in comments. By the way, I have a rather aggressive spam moderation plug-in that does a very good job, so if your comments don’t show up after a couple days, let me know from the contact page.

Here’s an example of what you can do with BuzzDash:

Isabelle thinks that you’re asking for a major haunting if you answer this question. But in taking that stance, isn’t she basically saying she believes in ghosts (and thus answering the question)? She must subscribe to the idea that ghosts can haunt you only if you believe in them, and also that they get online to figure out who believes in them. Like Pulse (et. al). Welcome to BuzzDash, ghosts! Tell your friends.

Have you seen Everybody Votes, the new Wii channel that launched today? Apparently, users are asked to assert their opinions about random questions, such as “Do you prefer cats or dogs?”

Interesting. I don’t own a Wii, so I can’t play along. Why is this so familiar to me?

Hey, maybe because it’s very similar to BuzzDash, which had its beta launch last week. I’m thinking it’s a good sign for BuzzDash that Nintendo is getting into the polls-for-the-fun-of-it game. What do you think? (Actually, hold your opinions for now; I’m off the clock.)
