Last night, Artemis Fate and I were on GunZ The Duel. She was giving me lessons! At times she sounded almost like one of those helpful video game tutorial characters: I don't know if it's because she was striving to emulate that style, or if it was just incidental, or what. I don't think I'll ask (unless she reads this and cares to tell me). I could have read the guide but it was more fun and dynamic this way. Thanks to her, I now know how to block?which may save my skin yet!

Chandrasutra has a new entry titled "Generation Mean" about bullying on Internet, which really caught my eye. It is peculiar by progress's virtue that each generation should be better than the next, but we still have many troubles in 2005 A.D. that've existed within humanity (or the lack of it) as far as we can remember.

Two of my fave visionaries in one interview: Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman are interviewed by TIME magazine, although it seems as though Joss was conducting it "virtually" (however that works, I wonder if they used a Nam June Paikish TV with his face on the screen). Now I do wonder what a collab between them would be like? I rejoice in that, seeing great people come together and do even greater things. Sort of like how in Second Life, one of my wistful fantasies would be to see Nephilaine Protagonist and Janie Marlowe work on a new line of clothes… they're both so wonderfully prolific. Here's a rough approximation, not the clearest of examples but it was definitely inspired: kimono by 'Laine, mad hat by Marlowe, and the blazer ontop is by Barnesworth Anubis.
