The Mayhem Papers

This was spoken in a public channel on one of the games I play. It was the tail end of an argument:

‘umm cursing is the ignorance…shows a lack of vocab. otherwords ur a moron’

I don’t even know where to begin with pointing out how awesome that sentence is.  I’ll leave the analysis up to you, fair reader.

You may have noticed a little “twitter badge” on the left hand side of this site. You also may have not, so take a quick glance to the left. See it? Good. A few months ago I noticed a few people using twitter, typically your usual suspects of tech/art/music hipsters trying to be cutting edge. Twitter is a little web application that lets you make quick little “real time” posts about what you’re thinking about. Basically a mini-blog in 140 characters or less.

I’m pretty sure I told Maryanne I thought it was stupid. Like anything, there are people who think its some grand experiment in social networking that will revolutionize the way we communicate. In those cases, I still hold it is stupid. At its simplest usage, Twitter is a fun little diversion to post notes to your friends (and whoever else is looking) throughout the day. There are some interesting interactions that go on. I had someone add me to the list of twitters they follow because I used the word disingenuous in a post. Kind of funny. If anyone is interested, you can either check the little badge on the left or go to the site directly. If you sign up, let me know.

In following Maryanne’s lead, here’s the results from the quiz over at the site for the upcoming Golden Compass movie.

I love the internets. Thanks to the internets, someone can say to themselves, “selves, wouldn’t it be great if we could pre-season this turkey we shot for Thanksgiving?”

The fellers over at Seasonshot are making their dream a reality.
