Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons - A Retrospective

It reads like Every LinkedIn, to be honest. It's such a bubble of insufferable performance.

Leadership, Humility, and the Burrito Supreme

Today, I did something small. Something ordinary.

I went to Taco Bell.

I didn't plan it. I didn't schedule it in Notion or sync it with my Google Calendar. I just went. Sometimes in life - and in business - the best decisions aren't on the roadmap.

They're in the drive-thru.

As I ordered the Burrito Supreme combo (with a Baja Blast, of course), I couldn't help but think: this is what leadership tastes like.

The burrito reminded me that true success is layered: messy, sometimes overstuffed, but ultimately satisfying if you commit to every bite.

The Baja Blast was a lesson in balance, innovation doesn't always have to be complicated. Sometimes it's just a bold flavor done right.

And the mild sauce? A reminder that not every moment needs to be Fire. Consistency can be powerful too.

As I sat there in my car, sipping that electric blue drink, I realized something: leadership isn't built in boardrooms. It's built in moments like this. When you choose authenticity over pretense, hunger over comfort, drive over diet.

So yeah, I went to Taco Bell today.
And in that small act, I nourished not just my body, but my mindset.

You jest, but you have a viral LinkedIn post on your hands. Post it there and you might become a #ThoughtLeader

You're two or three away from becoming Microsoft's next CEO.
 
Umm... Taco Bell nourishing the body, drowned with flavored sugar water. I don't think that word means what you think that word means. Lol.

What are you talking about? It nourishes and cleanses the body. Clears it of all toxins.

I don't know about you, but one Nachos Belgrande later, and I'm BajAss Blasting my toilet bowl the entire next day.

I feel light and cleansed.

And dehydrated.

You should have ordered the large Baja Blast! You'd be less dehydrated!
 
Yup. I'm sure the lights will just go out one day for The Fwoosh and they just won't come back on. I can't imagine the ad traffic is paying for it at this point.
 
Fwoosh still means a lot to me, but it's a shell of what it was. I feel bad for moderators who may still be obliged to stick around like MattK and IBMM-T. I wonder if they'll ever wind up over here.

This place maintains the spirit of Fwoosh. Good enough for me.

Shame about Articulated Icons though. Seemed like a fun endeavor, but clearly, someone was biting off more than they could chew.

If Paul is taking the money and running then I'd have to imagine the forums will soon disappear too. One less outlet to get in touch with him.

He was pretty clear in one of his more "recent" public posts that the forum isn't going anywhere as long as it's profitable. I'm guessing that means he keeps it around for the ad revenue. So it's only going to go dark if that stops. But it's definitely going to stay... neglected.. as far as I can tell. Up until the ad revenue doesn't cover the 8 cents being put into maintenance every seven months.

Man, looking at time post stamps, that place is pretty dead now, isn't it?

Almost everyone is here.




I do wish Matt and Benty would come hang out, but I'm sure they have their reasons for not doing so. Maybe one day.
 
We lost a lot of Fwooshers in the various site collapses. I think of folks like Phineas Curmudgeon, and Deadpoolistheman that vanished after one of the many blips. I'd love for some of those people to make their way here, but I doubt they know it exists since they left long before.

Phin was banned on Fwoosh a long time ago. No idea why.
