Adieu!

I hereby declare my "LiveJournal community" dead. The people who made this service worthwhile for me are gone. J-Dizzle, Maura, Ryan, Lili, Sarah, Kathy, Forrest.

'best of XXXX' lists are uninteresting to me. Much more interesting would be a music released in 2008 that blew my mind list:

* Max Tundra - "Parallax Error Beheads You"
* Autechre - "Quaristice"

Honorable mention goes to: Clark - "Turning Dragon"

Some notes on how to make the internet more like a book, magazine, or phone than a television. That is, more like a tool than a world:1. Do not use iGoogle, FriendFeed or any other service that provides you with "status updates" from a number of services at once.
