Wow, this is good: The Internet House Party, where eBay meets Facebook meets Digg meets Amazon meets ...
Performed by a young comedy troupe, they nailed it. And they remind me why I will be an old fogey hermit very soon (some would say already), because all these Internet social networks frighten me. It's hard enough to reach students through these different places -- how does one keep up with all of one's identities? Or does it stop once you leave the infinite time and energy of college, but the fountain of youngsters keeps feeding new members for the latest twitter-ing sites?
'We are the authority on the mind. We are the authority on getting people off drugs.'
Meanwhile, if you haven't seen the instantly infamous Tom Cru1se scient0l0gy video for his lifetime super-thete award, it is truly a wonder. I don't predict much in life, but I swear I always knew he was crazy way back in the Top Gun days. The video also confirms my suspicion that he's not acting in his films -- he's just being himself.
Thanks for the Web party video - excellent! How come you gotta spell the actor's name with 0s and 1s - so people actually searching for the vid don't stumble across your ramblings and start another TSO type crucifixion?

As a boy, I was taught: "Fear Big Brother, and Fear the Church of Sc1entology." Mama didn't raise no dummy*.
As you may have noticed, the site has changed. Sampa, the free-site host, did a version 2 of some sort.
Despite an FAQ that made it sound like allowing one's site to go through v.2 surgery would be okay, there were several flexibilities that surprisingly disappeared with the click of a button. (e.g. I cannot believe sidebars like this one are even narrower than before.)
And I'm told -- miraculously! -- that the conversion cannot be undone. Truth be told, I'm actually quite pissed. But free is free. Sampa has otherwise been good to me.
So I need to sort through site "features" to see how I can make do. Except that I don't have the time at the moment, in the middle of graduate classes and Lighthousehockey.com. (btw, I've removed that Lighthouse RSS feed so that you're not clogged with random Islanders hockey gibberish).
But I promise to touch up the accessories when I get a chance, and return to irregularly scheduled blogging.
