Did this originally back in December of '07, and then in '13. Randomly felt like filling it out again. Old Old answers in italics. Old answers in bold.

1. What is in the back seat of your car right now?A blanket, a small electrical fan, I think there's an old newspaper back there, and a roll of duct tape. You mean truck? Nothing. Nice and clean! (

I was going to ask how one gets hit in the head with a meteorite, but I guess the answer is: "Randomly."

Funny how time marches on!

Though speaking of that, I'm still not doing anything with facebook or twitter... I'm not sure if that's good or bad but from what I hear from about 80% of people I'm not missing a whole lot.

Facebook is Facebook. It's full of family and family politics and politics and a company making more money off your data than you could ever hope to. It's a mess.

Twitter is actually fine, if you know how to work with it. The largest trick is to change the 'trending' section to a language you don't understand. Then, you miss 90% of the nonsense. Yes, if you friend people, they WILL draw your attention to things that are happening, but I almost use Twitter more for news than regular news stations, anyway. The stuff media chooses not to cover because it doesn't generate clicks is the stuff that will still get around on Twitter.

95% of my twitter is gaming or wrestling related. I'm doing fine over there. LJ being quiet is still a nice place to settle and hide now and again, though.

Hah, interesting trick.

Yeah, I see the benefit of having access to "stuff the media chooses not to cover" but on the other hand there is some risk to having untrained yokels out there spouting half-stories based on cherry-picked data to an echo chamber of supportive fans, too.

To be fair it depends a lot on the tolerance level and "education" and scrutiny of the community, and I'm not saying it's always bad... but I've seen enough of human nature to know how those things generally go. ;)
