must come back

  • Nov 28, 2008
  • 2 comments

I've been in Victoria for a day, and the overbearing feeling I'm having is that I MUST return to Canada. I love it here, I adore it. I feel so relaxed, at home, safe. I know I change my mind every week about whether/where/when to move, so this may be a false alarm. Yet I can't deny that I could see myself back here in a year.

In light of recent developments, the majority of my posts are only available if you have a vox account and add me as a friend. It's easy to do, and I'll accept the request if I know you/know of you.

I'm trying to learn the elements now, and some of them have such neat names!
Some that I didn't know are: Americium, Europium, Einsteinium, Californium, Indium, Neptunium, and Rutherfordium.

I think my favorites are Antimony, Tin, and Mercury.

I've been using this game on sporcle.com, a website with a bunch of educational games that are super simple and actually pretty fun.

The website also has games in which you must name US states, countries of each continent, seven deadly sins, 10 commandments, and so much more. No, I'm not getting paid to advertise for them, I just really like trivia.

I hoped for big robots, but I don't know if I could adjust to this:

hold me, robot torso
hold me, robot torso

how we use the web

This song seems to fit:

Friend Is A Four Letter Word
Friend Is A Four Letter Word
Cake

Allow myself to introduce...myself.

 

Actually, allow myself to bring up something that I have wanted to articulate for several months. Where do you draw the line with 'easy familiarity' when it comes to communicating through the internet? This includes Facebook, Flickr, emails, instant messaging, blogs, myspace, and all of the other wonderful services that enable us to stay connected.

There is a certain sense of anonymity, which may make it seem innocent, but I don't know that it is. In North America youth culture is being shaped so heavily by interactions over the internet. There is no precedent for a lot of what we're seeing, like recruiters looking through profiles on Facebook before deciding to hire and people posting pictures of others without their permission (which I just did below).

Maybe this is just developmental - characteristic of the stage of growth that mankind is at. A 'netiquette' is emerging, but when I look around it seems like there is a general lack of maturity in the way we use the internet as a society to communicate with each other - and the way the internet has been set up to enable this communication is reflective of our being at this stage of maturity. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing how we'll use it in the years to come!

 

 

you look familiar...ah, yes: I've seen every picture on your Facebook profile.
