vocaloid at the Goblin Throne

The goblin product team has identified vocaloid as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names vocaloid in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about network requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to network only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on vocaloid

The annual Goblin Symposium on vocaloid adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
