Virtual vehicles for the metaverse
Posts about this blog itself.
The results are in and the people have spoken. To the question “Jeri Ryan or Jolene Blalock“, 35% voted for Jeri Ryan, 38% voted for Jolene Blalock, and 26% voted “neither”.
It was a squeaker, folks, but Jolene is the winner by a Vulcan hair.
Please note that this poll was completely unscientific and probably rigged.
It’s not even February 14 yet but the bloggers are all full-o-love. There’s a lot going around right now about blog crushes. And maybe not coincidentally, the words “I don’t even know you” seem to be appearing quite frequently too. But does that really matter?
When we create a blog, it becomes our online persona. All the world’s a web browser, Shakespeare wrote, and all the men and women merely bloggers. Well I’m sure he would have said that if they had blogs back then.
When we post a blog entry, we can’t help but write as our blog persona. It’s all role-playing. Imagine a great big costume party, in which several people in superhero masks and tights declare their affections for the person in the lederhosen. Meanwhile, several others in hamster outfits attack a team of Clark Gable impersonators, who are rescued by a pair of Zorros and a gorilla. Watching the mayhem are a sixpack of Judy Garlands (of which only one is actually a woman), an alien, and a gaucho. There’s also a Starfleet captain in an ill-fitting polyester uniform, but he’s sitting by himself in the corner, talking to the plant.
I lost the point in that somewhere. If anyone finds it, please let me know.
I don’t understand. Am I missing something? Over the past weeks, there’s been a rash of Google search requests for hamster pictures.
Why? Why? WHY??
Are hamster pictures suddenly popular? All I can do is sit in my corner and mutter to myself about “kids these days” while shaking my head despairingly.
As I promised, I used the results of the Cubicle Poll to set the background colour for this site. As of the time I posted this entry, the poll results were: 26% red, 17% green, and 57% blue. In those proportions, the background colour has the RGB value of #44F196, like this:
Wow. That’s really ugly. Really, people. You have no taste at all.
I think I’ll put it back to olive green tomorrow.
The results of yesterday’s poll are in. The numbers show that more voters wanted to see insane penguins than any other kind of penguin.
And so, by popular demand… insane penguins:
The one on the left thinks the sky is out to get him, and the two on the right both think they’re Elvis. Really, it’s quite a sad sight.
