Pick up a newspaper or a book once in a while. Surprisingly they still print those. Weird right? I got a lot of funny looks ten years ago when I started talking to people about blogging.
Let’s just say some people were skeptical of the notion that an eigth grader from India could coherently put together a string of pithy remarks – all for the simple purpose of intellectual masturbation.
No ads. No agenda. No strings attached.
A couple of months after its founding, nearly 4 people subscribe to this blog and its nonsense – almost a third of my gtalk friends list.
It is the 5 billionth most popular blog in the world – but wise-acher isn’t anything like a monetized blog. It is a pfaff machine, written by a coffee crazed lunatic making one entry at a time. You are unfortunately a part of the community. And I’m writing today to ask you to protect and sustain your damaged brain.
Together, we can keep it free of bullshit and subliminal advertising. We can keep it open – you can use the information in wise-acher any way you want. We can keep it growing – spreading the ability to pfaff everywhere, and inviting participation from everyone.
Each year at this time, we reach out to ask you and others all across the wise-acher community to help sustain our mind-numbing enterprise with a modest donation of 2 beers, 3.5 pizzas, 5 smokes or more.
If you value wise-acher as a source of mis-information – and a source of plagiarism – I hope you’ll choose to act right now.
All the best,
Saurav Das

P.S.: wise-acher is about the power of people like us to do mediocre things. People like us write wise-ass facebook entries, one word at a time. People like us fuck it up, one dislike at a time. It's proof of our collective potential to damage the world.
