Random Tangents, Take Two...

No need to ask my name

Randomness:

Fewer ants. YES.

Winning a Chapters gift card. YES.

I have been sort of starting to get a cold for the past five days, or thereabouts. Not fun.

Cookie baking is, I think, in my near future. Probably next week. Pretty much they are going to be delicious, maybe I will put up photos? Or if I know and see you in "real life" maybe you can eat some. It will depend on how fast I eat them, haha.

Current favourite song that I am playing rather frequently is "DVNO" by Justice. I enjoy it, makes my foot tap.

The character of Ethan Jarlewski was wearing this Threadless t-shirt in a recent episode of jPod.

This is an interesting glance at how our culture and society have changed, in what Barry Wellman calls "Cyber Times". It's a neat way to show the fluidity of experiences and how they evolve or are revolutionized, although arguably things don't "revolutionize" as much as we think. There's a long history behind most anything that exists today. Take text messaging, for example: an evolved form of email, letters, telegraphs.

And that's all from my thoughts for now.

  • @ Eunice: I participated in a study. It's only $5, but the study only took like 5 minutes, so I'm not complaining.

    @ Barry Wellman: I don't know if this was an April Fool's Day joke or what, but either way, I will probably think of some and submit them, as I had planned to anyway.

  • also @ Eunice: I can't remember if this kind has oatmeal or not, I haven't made them in years. If they don't I will send you some.
