I have tried extremely hard to understand Merlin. I’ve followed 43folders, watched him on Macbreak weekly, watched his google talks, watched the merlin show and followed him on Twitter.

Through every medium, I am continually confused and bored while viewing in his content. I’m sure many people will find what I’m saying extremely rude but I just don’t get what he’s about.

I’ve met Merlin and he’s a really nice guy and has helped me with some things in the past but as far as his content goes, I just don’t get it. I guess I’m stupid.

When I saw Merlin’s video I’ll admit to being a touch upset – so I responded in kind with a video of my own:
