# Reflective Employee Blogs The OMFGHARDWARE Blog is a Zen Take On Inane Situations By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-03-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omfghardware-blog References: [omfghardware](http://www.omfghardware.com/) It was completely by chance that I stumbled upon this gem of a blog. I needed keys cut, and so I met Howard Pressburger, the mastermind and creative voice behind the [OMFGHARDWARE blog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware). Capturing the inane interactions and complete obliviousness he encounters at his work at [Home Hardware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-mario-home-adventure-life), Pressburger's entries are honest and make me question whether I have ever been the person he describes in his writing. The blog is written in a style that brings to mind [the Ginsbergs and Kerouacs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bizarre-bookshelf), but with a decidedly zen tone (not judging, just telling). Check out the OMFGHARDWARE Blog--you will be glad you did. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Employee Blogs:** Creating personalized employee blogs that provide insights into their daily experiences and interactions in the workplace. - **Authentic Workplace Narratives:** Sharing authentic workplace narratives through employee blogs, allowing for a transparent and honest depiction of organizational culture and dynamics. - **Creative Outlet Blogs:** Empowering employees to express their creativity and thoughts through dedicated blogs, fostering a sense of individuality and engagement. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Human Resources:** Human resources departments can leverage employee blogs to better understand and address employee experiences and concerns. - **Content Creation:** Content creation agencies can collaborate with individuals to create compelling and authentic employee blog content that resonates with audiences. - **Digital Platforms:** Digital platforms and blogging platforms can provide a space for employees to share their experiences and thoughts, facilitating the creation of employee blogs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Tech Writings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-book.md) - [Simple Blogging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openblog.md) - [Future Work Blogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worqstrap.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Absurd Content Feeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absurd-content.md) - [Simplified Content Creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenshifu.md) - [Curated Inspiration Quotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenpen.md) - [Blog Post Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blog-post-generator.md)
