Watching as an ever expanding web connects people around the world.
A wicked big thanks
to my FOs who believed in me, to Daniel for convincing me, to Allison who gave me a chance to do something right, to my friends for never giving up on me, to my family for agreeing to love me the way I am, to Wink for inspiring me, and to you for reading and supporting my blog.

This blows my mind
check out twistori. It's based on what people are saying on twitter at any given moment. so amazingly cool. Keep in mind that twitter has roughly 5 million active users from all over the world. It gets pretty random.
love it!....i saw another website like this on the Current channel.....i think it was Current.....anyhoo, i think this so cool, it could be inspiration for art!
twitter would be a bit difficult just because it's sort of limiting. The options would sort of be setting up a single account for the class or using hash tags. What did you have in mind?
I am an FTM.
I have known I was a man since I was 3 even though I didn't know the word for it.
I think President Obama is a BAMF.
I think Michelle Obama is an even bigger BAMF.
I watch The Rachel Maddow Show every single day.
I am a card carrying member of the ACLU.
I think Thomas Jefferson was a total badass even if he did stab Washington in the back (although that part was messed up).
My favorite "Founding Father" is Madison.
I find C-SPAN interesting.
I watch MSNBC daily.
Bill O'Reilly pisses me off to no end.
I am a flaming Liberal.
I often get in over my head and just hope things work out in the end.
They usually do and I don't know why.
My mom was a bra-burning feminist in the 70's.
My entire life philosophy is based on a painting.
I like orange sherbet.
In his poem Ovid tells how Arachne, a mere mortal, dared to claim that her weaving was better than that of the Goddess Pallas Athena. After being shamed in a challenge against Athena, Arachne was turned into a spider doomed to weave webs for the rest of eternity.
The idea of Arachne's web is similar to that of the networks being built throughout out the world of the internet, millions of tiny threads of connection intersecting in millions of ways. Women today are weaving their own infinite webs to support and inform and generally connect with eachother in ways no one predicted.
All of this is made possible through the technological revolution that is Web 2.0.
Meh, Twitter is boring. Check out Tumblr, it's my new favorite interwebs addiction.
ReplyDeleteI was on digg but i got bored and i follow Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox and a few of my friends on Twitter so it works for me.

ReplyDeleteWow. Hey, I was thinking about us doing a wiki for extra credit or something on twitter. Any ideas?
