The Solong Blogging Network

I find sometimes that I don't know if a blog post works because I'm unsure of my audience. It's like, "Will the readers of Science Patrol enjoy reading my impressions of Smash Brothers Brawl?" That's not an assumption I'd like to make. Science Patrol is a place for certain thoughts, humorous explorations of futurity, and Smash Brothers is a beat-em-up. It does seem to have a lot going on, but at the end it's a party game. I may feel differently after we've had some Good Party Times with the thing, but Kirk and I only played for a minnit, and in a very controlled environment. Clearly further testing is needed.

Regarding the targeting of blog posts, though, I sometimes feel that I should more tightly focus the scope of my rants to a series of blogs, carefully selecting the audience for each article. Perhaps I need a blog for film, one for games, one for art, and the personal blog, in addition to Science Patrol. Overkill? Yeah, totally. I'm not sure what the best course of action is.

Creation of a Sun (The Hard Way)

What are we looking at? To be honest, I have no idea, but obviously, science is at hand. It looks like the birth of a sun. You can examine more amazing pics at the Flickr page. This was shown to me by Warren Ellis (who also provided some updates on the growing Anonymous War.)

Subject 8XPITA: Solong, Yanos PsychEval

The Subject is addicted to information...during the period of sustained observation the Subject never disengaged from a digital interface, seamlessly interacting with desktop screens, living room screens, pocket screens and even old static paper texts. In fact the Subject seems more preoccupied lately with a paper text called Kafka on the Shore by a man known only as Murakami in the circles he wanders.

Presently, as of 2:36 pm on Saturday, he has been preoccupied with:

• Oblivion (a consistent addiction of this one)
• Buying mp3s instead of torrenting them (possibly, on a limited basis)
• the movie Juno which he saw last night
• the necessity of soon moving out of his current habitation locus.
• some chicken which he would like to eat, except he is addicted to informations

Clearly, this is a young man with many issues.
