"Namaste, FOFSJ. Maybe you've noticed some new buttons on the sidebar of my blog. Or you might have seen this story about the huge multi-billion-dollar deal that I've struck with the Wired publishing empire. Well, it's true. As you know, I recently made a desperate and somewhat shameless plea for a sponsor. (What choice do I have when I'm collecting a $1 per year salary and facing some serious legal fees over this options bullshit?) Well after a fierce bidding war I have found a happy home in the warm soft furry bosom of Wired magazine," says The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs.
His blog now carries a Wired cover for would-be subscribers and some tasteful links to Wired News stories.
The Wired blog confirms the deal, adding: "We're also bringing Steve on as a 'special adviser' -- kinda like when Apple bought NeXT and Steve became an adviser to the CEO, Gil Amelio."
We're looking forward to lots of insanely great feedback about the home page. Steve's already talking about an all white homepage, text and all. Very minimalist.
The blog's regular targets include Uncle Fester (Steve Ballmer) and Squirrel Boy (Google CEO, Eric Schmidt), though Saint Nick (Negroponte) is currently taking a beating for his $100 "craptop".
FOFSJ = Friends of Fake Steve Jobs.
