I'm such a socialite, you guys...

...and I have proof here and here. The first link leads to GamerDNA, a social network for gamers, and the second is gogoyoko, which is for musicians and music enthusiasts.  Facebook has the same general idea of connecting people with similar interests (so-and-so likes this band, show, movie, etc.), but these sites focus more on certain types of media. My usual method of befriending people is by asking about their favorite game, if they play any, and music genres, so these netowrks are perfect for me.

Jonathon Zittrain: The Web as Random Acts of Kindness

Blog Stats

The number of hits is around 250, a fourth of which probably being me tinkering with my music player. That seems about right since I haven't done much on the blog the past month or so. I noticed a few hits from Russia, which is pretty cool. It may have something to do with the video pertaining to Lessig and their Internet. I...I hope I summarized it correctly...Hm.

All the cool kids are doing it...

...looking up stuff on Wikipedia, I mean. There's no particular reason why this gadget was chosen. It just reminded me of the impending Wiki Wars and made me giggle like a child.

So, y'know. Use it or something.

My First Computer

Isn't it a beauty? My first exposure to computers and eventually the Internet was my orange iMac G3. Even though I was given this model when I was six, I'll never forget its appearance (it was so...orange...). It took ages for my parents to move the hunk of plastic from the living room to my room, but once they did, oho boy...

I would play with Microsoft Sam and Nickelodeon.com for hours. I had educational point-and-click games manufactured by JumpStart and Humongous Entertainment that triggered my first rage-quits. At one point I adopted a Neopet but since I was unable care for myself, much less another "living" creature, its days were numbered.

When I wasn't playing house with my Beanie Babies or failing miserably with my yo-yo, I would tinker with my cool new toy. We were practically inseparable!

Then laptops happened.
