As usual when faced with a blank screen, i do what any good creative person would do; i procrastinate. i open another browser window and head to wikipedia. i scratch my crotch. it's enjoyable. i scratch some more. a couple of minutes later i realise i'm not just scratching anymore. i stop, and come back to the screen. it's a challenge, the blankness. it's saying fuck you, you couldn't fill this if you needed to. well fuck that shit, i've got a lot to say. have you ever walked down the road and blinked and then realised you've suddenly recieved a whole new perspective on things? no? me neither. shit doesn't happen that easily around here. me i've got to be hit in the face, kicked in the nuts and slammed against a wall with a knife to my throat before i realise how i've been so wrong all this while about stuff. there's some sort of lack of a self-correcting mechanism. and that's probably because i'm one of those people who goes through ...
the debate about homosexuality's morality will, i think, continue unceasingly. so i'm going to ask that anyone reading this set aside their personal moralistic/religious/whatever attitude - whichever side of the debate you're on. assume i'm thinking aloud, and just eavesdrop. i'm assuming here that you wouldn't be so rude as to interrupt someone you're eavesdropping on, of course. the whole thought process started when i wondered how it feels to be gay. no wait, that's not exactly it, because if you're gay you wouldn't feel it, much the way that i don't feel heterosexual sitting here at the computer. i just am, and that's all there is to it. so how do gay people... ok, it's like this. for me, being hetero at the most primal level means i'm... i'm the man . i'm the giver - i pour myself in to initiate, i pour myself in to complete. i'm being really, REALLY simplistic here because i'm just trying to describe what i...
here's a really fun idea that struck me when i was farting around google earth. somebody's probably already figured this out, but what the hell... how about a satnav system, with route computation, coordinates, postal addresses – based on a google earth-type application. the only difference with gps-enabled systems would be that there are no real-time updates on coordinates… but then, hell it’s free! how it works – i enter my home address into omniscope (mwahahah ya ok, it's from pratchett), the map swings around and plants a dot on my home. then i type in another address in the city/another city. omniscope computes the route, shows it to me on the map, and gives me a concise list of directions, landmarks, etc. i figure updates happen once every 3 months, not too much faster, because most city-centres etc. are pretty fixed. in case of long distance/international travel, what happens next is the real shit – omniscope then provides me an immediate update on offers/airlines/tr...
