Is it already stale?

Although few would argue that I've accomplished nothing in the 15 months since returning from South America, I can't help but feel the things I've been pursuing are, if not meaningless, at minimum not meaningful enough.

I have never felt that merely living one's life while largely ignoring the concerns of others is a healthy way to live. Reading

That link about Jane McGonigal was fucking amazing. Thank you for posting that. I had no idea that people were doing that kind of thing

[rettiger]

Sure. I had no idea either. People are beginning to push the very limits of gaming technology and coming up with some damn cool stuff.

[hollowkatt]

Which is kind of awesome because well, I'm in school for my gaming degree :)

[rettiger]

Oh, cool!

How did you find my LJ, by the way?

E,
You are so amzaingly intelligent and capable and your concern for the world and the people in it is one of the things I most value about you. If I can "save the world" in my little pink bus, you can save the world without a physics degree. But, like your job, a degree in physics is a means to an end. I'll support your decision and love you either way.

Erica, honestly, if you wouldn't be worthy of being voted "most likely to make a difference," who would be? But if you don't feel like you've been doing enough then no one can disagree with you. If you need more, by all means go do more. The world certainly needs it.
