Facebook has proven to be an interesting toy. I don’t buy all the hype, but it is certainly an interesting idea. As such, I’ve tried to use it in a spartan manner, putting in basic and mostly public information, seeing what happens. One thing that annoys me already is sort of a bitchy complaint, but.. […]
Is a person is able to create non-sentient life (say, a bacterium), what does that do to your worldview? This is not an endorsement of the experiment in question, but more a moral quandary.

You’ve heard of LOLCATS. You’ve heard of I Can Has Cheezburger. You may even have heard of LOLPRESIDENT (epic Fark thread). Now, there is HALOCATS. If you haven’t played Halo 3, this will not be funny. The Internet, opiate for the masses.
