In a flurry of awesome promotional goodness, I switched from my host to the ever-popular Dreamhost. So far I’ve been more than pleased with everything… it’s really no wonder they’re so popular.
One of the greatest things about Dreamhost, aside from vast disk space and bandwidth, support for the newest web technologies such as Ruby on Rails, and a control panel that allows you to manage everything you can dream of yourself, is their monthly newsletter. A while back, in October, it was mostly about trick or treating, and then the next was all in haiku form. This latest is inspired by the spreading-like-wildfire SNL clip Lazy Sunday:
“Yo, where’s the email sendin’?
SMTP, dude!
Let’s support SSL so true haters can’t snoop.
I prefer TLS!
That’s a good one too.
Gmail is the best!
True that! Double true!
You may get a warning.
Step on it sucka!
What you want to do, custs?
Just click okay, mutha—–s!”
or
“DreamHost Site of the Month, total votes we be handling,
This month’s winner Daniel Shiffman can quit his crass pandering!
http://shiffman.net/, his site, is the illest!
His artsy computer videos crush films with Bruce Willis!
Other customer entries were stupid scary:
Can’t believe how many sites were honoring… Matthew Perry!
So many dumb sites, the list is just tragic..
Maybe YOUR site’s worthy of DreamHost traffic magic?”
Just damned hilarious. Thank you Dreamhost, for being so wonderful.
Also, if you liked Lazy Sunday, please know that it really has nothing to do with SNL. Nothing that great would ever come from them today if it were not for the hiring of Ardy, Jorma, and Akiva, aka The Lonely Island. See below for some of their mad genius which goes back way way way before Lazy Sunday and which SNL is not worthy of (but to that, awesome for The Dudes that they finally made it bigtime):
