Oh mighty internet, creator of all things procrastinatory

I know, I know, the last thing any of us needs is yet another way to waste time on the internet.

Oh, who am I kidding? Of course you want to waste more time on the internet! You're on LJ, after all. You use Google, check Wiki, faff around with flash games--why not get credit for it in a cool MMOG? Best of all, it works on just about any platform--Windows, Linux, Mac. You go about your normal browsing and play at the same time!


Plus, if you click this link to sign up, I get points too. And then I can come reward you with points. I get to be an online philanthropist, since this economy practically guarantees I'll never be able to afford to be one IRL.

So, join me on the Nethernet!

(Belated) Reaction to Last Night's Speech

...by Pres. Obama. (Sorry. I may end up abbreviating things in this post due to an unfortunate tendency of the upper left keys to be difficult to press, particularly w and r.)

But first, a story from philosophy class. We were talking about Thomas Reid's response to Hume's argument from contiguity. The argument goes something like this:
  1. What I am directly aware of seems to diminish as I move away from it.
  2. The table does not diminish as I move away from it.
  3. Therefore, I am not directly aware of the table.

Which of course is complete rubbish. Anyway, I was actually on the way to making a (good) point, and couldn't resist the awful (if true) pun: Hume seems to have literally lost perspective. Yes. I went there.

Anyway.

The rest is under here... )

Ta Da

I, um, well, I was procrastinating a little lot earlier, and made myself a new desktop background. I'm pretty fond of it, and kinda just wanted to brag. It's not really all that spectacular, just pretty. http://rhiannonstarsong.tripod.com/id10.html
