It’s on days like these that I’m reminded of a conversation that Ben, a fellow Web Developer, and I had. We fantasized about living on a mountain and making furniture for a living. For the scenery, sure, and yes for the Zen of it all; but, there was more. It had to do with using your hands on a daily basis to create something physical, something real, something you can touch, and most important, something you can destroy with a sledgehammer, douse with gasoline, set on fire and shove off the mountain.

The show with zefrank is a vlog. Which is short for “video blog.” Which is like a blog but more so. Now bloggers have a notion that people may want to actually read what they write. See a little part of the world through their special lens. Show the world they are indeed a unique snowflake. How exactly? It’s up to the individual. However one thing is clear, a vlogger does it more so.

You can be sure though that in the end, it has something to do with an affinity for technology, vast untapped internal creative reservoirs and deep-seated, unresolved childhood issues. Not me, of course. I was talking about zefrank. All kidding aside you should go and at least watch the episode of on hiring a web developer , which as Ben (a fellow web developer) put it “this will hit too close to home.”

In the end you will want to hear and see what zefrank is doing and saying, I do. Who knows he may indeed be a unique snowflake. It’s genuine , a good time, and worst of all he makes it look easy.
