Tweeple.

Get your twitter mosaic here.

These are the people who subject themselves to my Twitter nonsense.

De Monsters

I have just discovered one of my favorite things ever.

De Monsters

I could not embed the videos but just click the link and go there. You will be glad you did.

I could watch this for hours.

This site, designed to look like an old rabbit-ears set playing old Betamax tapes, shows clip after Youtube clip of Christmas specials, commercials and holiday-themed episodes of television shows, all circa 20-25 years ago. Adjust the rabbit ears to get that perfect "grainy" look.

Old junk

I was over at my sister's last night and we all got to talking about how long we have been on the internet and playing around on archive.org to find all our old junk.
I was able to find things from about 10 years ago. Back then we did not have "blogs". We had "E/N" sites. Its odd to think that I have been "blogging" in one form or another for 10 years.

Anyhoo... I found some old crappy Flash animations I did years ago when trying to learn how to use Flash. And they are crappy... but here are some anyway...

Chat Room

I was bored, I made us a chat room. I don't expect anyone to use it, that includes me. Just playing around.

Skype

I am bored.
I also just found a webcam(crappy web cam) and got it to work on my Mac.

So, I am opening up the phone lines to you. People of the interwebs.





Call me! Talk to me! Or not, whatevs.

The Interweb Cyber Space Laser Net

Also known as "Da Web"

Freakin' internet. Bringing people together while simultaneously pulling them apart. Too often I find myself saying "just need to check my e-mail, then Ill go to sleep" or "let me check my RSS feeds real quick before we eat" or "I am undoubtedly doing damage to my blatter right now, but I really really want to watch the rest of this stupid Youtube video". I know you say those things too.

I love the Internet for many reasons, but at times I just want to wipe it from the planet.

Remember the days when certain information was hard to come by? And possessing such information felt special and gratifying?

I like the thought that I was among the select few who know Scanner Frequencies and D'ni Language and Latin Swear Words because I went to the trouble of seeking out the information. Going to the library, reading, writing letters, and so on.

Now all you have to do is Google it and the worlds mysteries are at your fingertips. And while very convenient, it takes the mystery and magic out of the world in a way. There are far too few unknowns, far too few things that could reach beyond imagination because they have all been well documented and put out there for you to easily find.

Well, now that the bitching is out of my system, let me say that I do indeed love the internet and make use of its grand resorces and love having them.

Alas, sometimes, I wish for a little bit of the old days. When knowing something was worth a little more.
