FML - The Blog of Fail, a.k.a. the Deadmau5 blog

For those of you who may or may not know the incredibly popular artist deadmau5 (though, if you don't know him, I am honestly a bit surprised), you can actually read some of his very random ramblings in blog format. Yes, deadmau5, a.k.a. Joel, actually has his own blog that he updates with what I can only assume is one of the slowest update times of any blog I have read.

The blog doesn't have any really official name on the site -- going by '0.5 - blog' and simply 'Deadmau5,' and going by 'FML - The Blog of Fail' on Blogger -- so I titled this post 'FML - The Blog of Fail, a.k.a. the Deadmau5 blog' for the sake of simplicity, and simplicity seems to be the name of the game with the overall design of the blog itself.

The first thing I notice is the minimalist layout - no ads, no sidebar, no dates or twitter feed. Just the posts themselves, in rather smaller font. This isn't too bad though, because it's fairly symbolic of deadmau5's ability to simplify and 'tune out' the unimportant stuff sometimes.

Though I don't always agree with the stuff he is posting, it seems that he has his opinion and feels strongly about it. Gathering from his most recent post on a piece of fanmail, he doesn't really care if you like it or not, either.
