The Verdad Issue of Vice
I was so excited to pick up this month's issue of
Vice magazine. It
was called The Verdad Issue and there were so many interesting articles in it.
One was about a kidney transplant from Cape Town transacted solely over the
telephone and email. Then there was the affordable locator device that is small
enough to fit on your fingertip and can be located from a free web service.
Cool! Sike! It's all lies. Funny right? Verdad, truth but...like...the
opposite! Fuck you very much Vice. I love your magazine.

AIM culture and interruptions
I have a failrly large buddy list now, both from Google chat and AIM. Most
people use AIM because it's...owned by AOL? I don't really know. but anyway, I
do too and I use it for a lot of work related discussion. I've noticed a
particular type of person who appears to have some kind of "online
notification" or "buddy pounce" feature to their AIM client because every
single time I leave "away" status or come online, within moments I get a "hey"
or a "yo". I like talking to these people but I find it extremely odd that I
come to expect a feeling of hesitation when I open my IM client, thinking to
myself, "do I really want to pay attention to this person right this moment,
because I will have to."
