This will sound mean and insensitive, so I apologize at the beginning. But, really. I hear lots of adjectives, but where’s the product? Dmitri and Michael Heilemann have fashioned a new thing so bold, new and daring, they don’t even know what to say. Except to throw out a lot of phrases like, “It’s nothing like you’ve ever seen,” and “Nobody’s ever done anything like this before.” If Binary Bonsai’s new look is K2, then let’s just call it “Son of Kubrick.” And, if that’s really what it is, then naming it after the second tallest mountain and calling it by a new noun (“modification”) because the existing nouns (“theme” and “template”) don’t say enough won’t cover up the fact that it’s just the son of — YAWN. Where was I? Oh, son of Kubr — YAWN.

Here’s what I need:

Screenshots.

If Binary Bonsai’s Kubrickesque look is not the showroom model, I need to see what’s supposed to be so great. (Of course, if BB’s look is the showroom — YAWN. Man, I’m getting sleepy. Eh? OK, the “Chocolate Raspberry” look sported by Sillyness Spelled Wrong Intentionally is slightly more interesting than Kubrick or the Son of Kubrick on BB. Not enough for me to download it, though. Personally, I’ve always thought chocolate and raspberry a yucky combo, anyway.)

Descriptions.

Telling me it’s whiz-bang and brand-new, and the product of a lot of work means nothing if you don’t tell me what’s so blinkin’ special about it. (Of course, if it’s really just Son of Kubrick, don’t bother. Unless that backend is like a Hemi inside a beat-up old Cadillac Sedan DeVille. “She may not look like much, kid, but she’s got it where it counts,” as Han Solo spake about the Millenium Falcon.)

Just a little humorous prodding, guys. Seriously, I know you guys are hard workers, and usually produce very good stuff. So, let’s get the marketing going. No way I’m going to put in a “mod” on a live blog unless I’ve got a little more info.

Oh, and I only got two hours of sleep last night, so now it really is time for some nappy-nap.
