It takes all sorts

Lately, all the action on Steemit has gotten me thinking again about some of the potential of what this place can become. Six months ago I used to have those sort of thoughts quite often. Not quite as often "what can I eat now" or "man I need to download some more torrents", but quite regularly.

Yesterday I did a great big long post, like I used to do back in the old days. One of the reasons for that is that I'm just thinking about the potential benefits of earthing (and doing it right now), and another is that I'm thinking about the range of what can be posted on Steemit.

We are not on facebook or twitter here - a post can be one picture, one paragraph, or one video, but on the other hand it can be a whole photo gallery, an entire chapter of a book, or an entire documentary.

And that's just the posting side of things - this place could potentially replace things like the news media, banks, and the education system. There are no shortage of things that could be done better on the block chain.

But for today I'm going to keep this short and just post a picture. This is a drawing I did of a couple of creatures with nipple like things on their heads who have no idea why they are here, but are looking for a good time:

MY WHOPPING GREAT STEEMIT SIGNATURE

Because sometimes I like to do short posts with pictures, art, photos, and funny stuff, and then there is bugger all in my post, I need a whopping great signature to put at the bottom of my short posts to give them some beef.

On my longer posts I’m really just including it to go on about myself, but what the hell, we all need to blow our own trumpet sometimes.

@cheetah likes to point out that I’m plagiarising my own signature, but he is also voting for me, and a vote is a vote, so I’ll call that a good thing.

@sift666 is my Steemit alias. As 666 is the number following 665 and preceding 667, and I’m using the number here on my Steemit account, it might mean I’m a worshiper of Satan. Or it could indicate that I have troll tendencies I need to work out with myself.

My real name is Ian Gregson, aka wheels007. I’m a professional sifter from Wellington New Zealand. My interests include photography, conspiracies , web design, writing, nutrition, art, design, philosophy, technology, anarchy, health, computers, humour (humor), gratuitous arse shots, and anything that makes my eyes bulge while I make squeaking sounds (except torture).

Back in the glory days of Steemit (August 2016), I once made $404 for a post and went on a three day bender. It took months to work off the after effects of the hangover and I’m still attempting to understand how that ever happened.

I’m currently developing a new website portal to rival Steemit called www.frot.co.nz where I’m testing out a new feature called “frottage” that may revolutionise blogging and create a global paradigm shift.

Photos and pictures labeled @sift666, www.sift.co.nz or www.frot.co.nz are my own creations, while pictures with no credits are sometimes ones I found in my image collection and have no idea where they originally came from, or might be my own photos that I haven't put a signature on.

Otherwise, due to pressure to conform, I’m having a crack at including an image credit beneath each picture I copy off the internet. I do have opinions on this subject, but am practicing putting a sock in it.

To tell the truth I often have no idea what I’m going to post next, but I will be sure to include pictures. If you are a person who prefers mainstream opinion, my posts may not be entirely your cup of tea. But if you like to dwell on the wild fringes of conspiracy theory, or you are a whale with a massive blowhole, you might like to follow me on Steemit. It would be great to have you on board.
