What is TheVDotList?

Drool, cool or tool.  In a “bad” means “good” world, I’ve taken a tongue-in-cheek and extremely light-hearted approach to products, people and trends:

v.drool:

  • We drool over something incredible because we want it.
  • We make a drooling noise with a blank face because we consider it lame.

v.cool:

  • We declare something as “cooooooool”.
  • We cool off about it because it’s overexposed.
  • We denigrate it with a sardonic “oh, that’s cool”.  NOT.

v.tool:

  • When something does the job that it should and can be relied upon, we consider it part of our tool set.
  • When something (or someone) exists for the sake of advancing the company line, he, she or it is a tool (call me out on this).

So, what does the list mean?  From nothing to everything; you decide.  It’s just a bit of semi-informed and opinionated whimsy on my part:  Spot on, dodgy or full of it?  Comment in the posts or send gripes and suggestions to TheVDotList@opsan.com.
