I encountered the reference to this Village Voice piece in an article on Slate's website during their 10 year anniversary.  It's a fairly long tale of a virtual rape which intrigued me enough to read to the end.  Reading this now in 2006, I can only think of the type of reaction that it had at the time versus the type of reaction it will receive today as you read it from the future of computing...

Two little bits here that seem unrelated although some abstract thought in my head that is pretty hard to put my finger on tells me somehow they are.In this piece about the loss of close inter-personal relationships as a by product of the internet, I think the last paragraph states the problem with this type of study correctly.  The study used was done from 1985-2004.  Much has changed in...

In the first of what is sure to be many lawsuits against social netowrking sites, a 14 year old girl and her Mother (I guarantee mostly her mother) is suing myspace.com, their parent company and a 19 year old of sexual assault (the crime itself was perpetrated by the 19 year old, myspace did not sexually assault this girl).  This absurd.  I read a bunch of the comments on this site, and...

The Japanese are at it again attempting to make a Sweet Little Flyer based on the Anime Movie mentioned in the subject header.  The movie was actually pretty cool, if not just a little o...

Finally an easy way to understand why some forms of DRM suck.  Here's a nice link to an EFF cartoon.EFF: The CorruptiblesBTW, this is a test of the PERFORMANCING extension for firefox.  Check it out.  Also for those that are not down with Googlesync, try out Foxmarks, seems to be a little less of a hog than google sync and you can log onto the website for your bookmarks to follow y...

While I was at a Highland Games Festival (Mad Anthony Rugby Tournament) a few weeks ago my friend received this as some random hand-out. It was a million dollar bill on the front and there was text on the back. We read it and found it quite humorous, take a look. I wrote the text down just in case you can't zoom in close enough to read the back of the bill. I don't want to screw anyone out of...

Hello everyone. It has finally happened. I read an article, posted a response and actually got a response back from the author. This confirms that someone is actually sometimes reading the crap that I spout. Yay for me, thanks Mr.McAllister for taking me seriously enough to write back to, slow news day or do you actually do this often? All the same, here is the original article, with my and Mr....
