The idea was to find a custom header, which this is not, although the theme has the option- I liked the default one so much that I decided to do away with my attempt at a dark blog header, which I had mostly copied from some guy (I googled for “blog headers”, I don’t even [...]

The hostile web
I was just reading through a post on Marginal Revolution when I had something of an epiphany which is, in retrospect, completely obvious.
We talk of the internet as some sort of large global community, but I find it very interesting how there’s so little true interaction or assimiliation of viewpoints on the web. Ideally, when [...]

An Observation
I have been trying to think of some short, descriptive phrases for myself, and this is what I came up with.

Quote of the Week: the Law of Fail
“Once a web community has decided to dislike an idea, the conversation will shift from criticizing the idea to become a competition about who can be most scathing in their condemnation.”

2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press [...]

Going Green
I don’t usually do all that much political activism for any specific causes, but I think this is worth supporting.
Also, I needed a theme where my twitter feed was more prominent .
On an unrelated note, people seem to have NO idea what I’m talking about when I say libertarian. Or rather, they get [...]

I am so much more a “twitter person”
At least here in the office, which is currently the only place where I can access the internet. With that in mind, catch me here. Or just check out the little twitter widget on the sidebar. I don’t think I’ll be able to update all that much on this blog for a while.

RaceFail 09
I blame John Scalzi for turning me onto this(even though he did try pretty hard not to even mention what he was responding so angrily to), although I’m surprised that I’ve never even thought about the larger issue before. The larger issue being racism and diversity within the world of SFF. Obviously, I’ve thought about [...]
