Crazy busy these days. Will try to post more, promise!
In the meantime, two things. First, I watched the first episode of Flashforward on ABC yesterday. Not bad! Despite being a little overly “cinematic,” my wife liked it too. To her surprise. The best thing? They had “Quiet Dog” by Mos Def playing when everyone blacked out. Awesome.
Second, this is old, but kinda cool. I think. Libby Dole and Lebed as the presidents? Huh.
I have never played an MMORG. I think ... no, I know that I would have loved them when I was twelve, but all we had back then was Compuserve. Thank God. I am sort of glad that I became an adult and lost interest before the technology came of age. These days, the only gaming I do is on an old Atari emulator. Viva Missile Command!
My lack of experience may, in fact, be why I find this hysterical:
The webisodes are even funnier. At least to somebody who has never actually played a MMORG, and probably never will. YMMV, so reviews are desired!
This was one of the most useful signs I've ever spotted while driving along a rural highway.
“Watch what you put on the Internet. Think before posting.”
OK, everyone in America who hits the interwebs has probably heard about Senator Grassley's totally awesome imitation of Cher Horowitz by now. But on the off chance that there is somebody out there reading this blog who hasn't, be you from elsewhere in the English-speaking world or beyond, click this link right now. All indications are that this is not a hoax.
That is a U.S. Senator talking. Yup. Dude, is there a word for when something intended to be ironic turns out to be accurate? Twitter, indeed. I previously had no desire to try using it, let alone read the results: now I have an active aversion. Reverse marketing indeed, ironic in its lack of irony.
Somehow I seem to have found deep meaning in such gems as “My carbon footprint is abt 25per cent of Al Gore. I'm greener than Al Gore. Is that enuf?” and “Comfort America worried abt hyperinflation Reafirm ACCORD of1951” or even “Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said 'time to delivr on healthcare' When you are a "hammer" u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL.”
Or ... well, click the link.
These are not like things. The data do not say what the people making the connection seem to think that they say.
