Thank you for the kind invite to defend my honour – ooo I feel a bit like Desdemona from Othello when you refer to me that way… cheeky! I also want to thank you for checking out the Daily Different but more importantly thank you for referring to me as “rad” and intimating that I could be a male model. Genius! Thanks, you made my day. Not even my own mum would have paid me a compliment like that.

Now addressing some of your more serious points I do want to state for the record that I completely agree with you about the issues with flash, however I have no influence over the design of the website. With regards to my writing style being aloof, hey that’s me, it’s different it’s not for everyone but then that is why I was chosen to be the writer. You mention our target audience and my use of a ghostwriter; alas I don’t have one so I will happily take your applause. I really do like VLC media player, it’s the daddy of all video players.

Everything you read on the site is written by me on a daily basis in my own words with what I hope is interesting and unique content I am not dictated to by Beck’s and have never been told what I can and can not say – which is to Beck’s credit. Beck’s want to have an interesting website for their target audience, which I am a part of and they have given me a platform to show what I can do. I hope it does not come across as a ‘corporate blog’ trying to push Beck’s as I have been very staunch in my view of Daily Different being about interesting funny content and engaging with other like minded people, not necessarily Beck’s drinkers.

This is a bit long but I wanted to be thorough in answering you, I hope you and your readers can put our mutual hatred for flash behind us and come and support the site.
