MONKEY ROLL CALL!

I highly encourage you to click on that link and go over to that entry not only if you haven't posted yet, but also if you haven't looked at it in a while.

These are some of the faces of your social network.

Scroll through the comments. Look at the faces and associate them with the usernames you've always seen.

Read who they are, what they do, what they're going to do, where else they live online...

Do this in your Facebook, Flickr, et cetera. Find faces for the names. See the people behind the phosphor dots. Talk to 'em.

I know for a fact that at least a dozen of my readers have met in real life after meeting on my LJ and then arranging to hang out with each other and that's FANTASTIC.

And I've met...over thirty? Forty? of the people from here and Flickr and Orkut, all of them amazing.

I feel like I finally have some plans for my online presence again, from writing to art to...a few new features and some I abandoned.

Help me make it stick this time, after so many months of fail.

And you know what? The future, for all of its bad shit, really kicks ass sometimes.

Go internet.

PS - Since I forgot to add this last time: Last.fm / Flickr / YouTube / Delicious (still have some to add) / Twitter / LibraryThing / Facebook

IN OTHER WORDS -

Yet another reason H.G. Wells was so fucking awesome. In The Conquest of Time--a rewrite of a previous book of his--published in 1942, he predicted the future, most notably the internet, didn't he?:

     "[Man] can contrive urban and suburban roads that will carry him at his ease to air-port, sea-port, or wherever he wants to be--he need not follow them, for they will carry him; before very long, he will be able to summon everything there is to be seen, every machine, every show, every living thing, every masterpiece and movement, in its utmost vitality and in any detail, to his study table; he can hear all the music in the world, and, if he wants to do so, all life's edifying discords. All this he will be able do do whenever he chooses to do it as a species. For all this we have chapter and verse. The experiments have been made; the samples pass muster...
     These are man's present possibilities; and without haste and without delay he can complete his material conquest. He will soon be able to talk to anyone anywhere, be withing help of everyone, and laugh at the tides and seasons that once chased his hunted heart-beats round the year."


Zounds.
