he web is one AWESOME place, you have to admit. Despite all the bad publicity it gets from the old fogeys who
think us Gen-Xers are spending too much time on it, no invention beats the web. Well, Internet2 might,
and I'm absolutely anxious waiting for I2 to hit. You get the feeling that we're all explorers on this vast
frontier of knowledge. Anything and everything is at our fingertips. You want to learn how to do something?
Pick a search engine and search away.
There's also that weird feeling of closeness you have when you're off visiting other people's homepages. I'm not sure if I'm alone on this feeling or not, but I think its freakin' odd how you can have no qualms about telling complete strangers your life story on something like IRC (yes, I admit I've done time on irc), or on your own homepage for that matter. I'm no different from the rest I suppose. I believe this warrants some type of psychological study at least. Don't you? Hey- first person that does anything like that and puts it up on their webpage can get a guaranteed G-Spot Award. Just for content. Cause that would be tight. I love seeing what people do with the web. There's so much information it literally boggles your mind. I like seeing how other pinoys and pinays are exploring their roots and trying to nail down some sort of definition of "Pilipino Culture". I like zooming off to Ain't It Cool News.com and checking out the latest Hollywood rumors like Leonardo DiCrappio playing Anakin Skywalker in Episode 2 of Star Wars (oh god, no...I can see it, but please...NO...). As nerdy as it sounds, I also like hunkering down to go through CNET.com to get the latest on technology so I won't feel like I'm so damn behind. The web is a freakin' bunny man, and I've got these fucking claws and these fangs, man! And I'm looking at my claws and I'm looking at my fangs. And I'm thinking to myelf, I don't know what to do, man. "I don't know how to kill the bunny." With *this* I don't know how to kill the bunny, do you know what I mean? (Swingers cracked me up) So all right. I know I've got more to say on this, but that's it for now. :) |
