Topic: Matt, if Food Ergo Love had such a short life, how can we trust The Miller Guide to be here...
Metæ started this discussion 12 years ago #36,891
For the long run? Your projects (to wit: GHOUL and Food Ergo Love) are intersting concepts but lack staying power. You need more stability if you want to be taken seriously. Take Food Ergo Love, for example. I read the blog and enjoyed it, but all of a sudden it just dies, with no warning, no notice, it's just dead with an expired domain. Why? What you should have done is kept Food Ergo Love, but as a part of the Miller Media Group and and folded it into the Miller Guide. Build up a portfolio of brands delivering locally tailored content.
Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure MAtt is incapable of this without making 5,000 posts on MC about how to crack Photoshop on his Macbae; you are giving him wwwaaayy too much credit. GIMP or Inkscape will do SVG alterations on the cheap.

I wouldn't hold the logo against him. The wine glass and fork symbol is not copyrighted and is a universal symbol for food. The logo gets the point across that the blog has the initials "M.G." and is about food. Maybe once it gets established, Matt can always hire a graphic designer to make a fancy one.
What I'm worried about is, will it be a long term thing?

Matt's partner is Yan Xiaoqing on the guide. Says so:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-miller-guide
Matt has said she is also his girlfriend IRL so she hopefully will push him to finally finish it.
I know her recent baby takes up some of her time but I think she can make Matt finish his work.

I think, honestly, he's a good food writer when he wants to be and I think he is motivated this time. Whether or not the business model of a Zagat/Michelin guide for Kunming will succeed financially is anyone's guess.

He bought a hotdog business a while back and that didn't go anywhere. I don't know if he did much work on it.

I figure it would be blood poisoning like in The Human Centipede. The girl on the tail end of that thing died of blood poisoning from all the waste she was eating.

I know someone who did a tour around there and also said China has so much pollution. I really blame the Marxist government for that stuff. Non-commie countries in East Asia are much nicer.

He also abandoned his baby soon after it was born!
Bear in mind it was a fake baby, but the trolling was excellent and it was so sad so see it abruptly end.
