""Social networks, for me, are one-way streets. I try to make my voice heard above the chatter about the latest service, the newest shiny gadget. But my input is of little value. They know I’m not one of them. I’m an interested voyeur, a watcher, a listener. I’m a simple techno-priest among the internet gods. My understanding is far below theirs."
You have stated perfectly here what I've often thought of my own participation in these forums and networks. Although, I think I'm even further removed from things. There's nothing wrong with hanging out on the sidelines, though. Heck, the guys on a bench who never play in the game still get paid for sitting on the sidelines with a clipboard, right? :-D" - Kirasha
A writer friend of my mum's once said she believed that all creative people were creative in more than one field. It would only make sense we utilize that, wouldn't it? This looks like a good little series to get started with. - Kirasha

Though I can already anticipate several lashings out about how wrong this is, there is a lot of sense in this article if one takes the time to read it and ponder what he's *actually* saying.
We are constantly looking backwards and laying blame at the current descendents of people who did no harm to us directly, despite whatever ills they committed against ancestors long dead before we were born. Shouldn't we stop blaming each other and apologizing for the mistakes of the past and move forward together to make the present and future a place where those mistakes cannot be repeated? - Kirasha
The famous 4 volume saga "Otherland" is under development as MMORPG...the virtual world Tad Williams created will let you be whatever you want to be (if you make it...) - Gaby Benkwitz ☼

Funny, I've thought several times in the last year or so that we're seeing the beginnings of what could be the path to an Otherland reality some day. Will definitely have to keep an eye on this game development! - Kirasha
A couple eps have more giant bugs and creepy crawlies than I care for, but over all it's a highly entertaining story that keeps my curiosity up. - Kirasha
Redeemed my lingering distaste for the end of book three. Plot was a little more choppy, although the end DID surprise me, which doesn't happen often. - Kirasha
"OMG! I can't believe I never noticed! I'll have to find the CD with the original files from the event still on it. I can say that at most you're missing about 200 - 300 words, judging from where part 3 picks up. But, eek! *rushes off to go find the original*" - Kirasha
"I think I have to agree with John. When they're screaming to the left of you and shouting to the right of you, it's difficult to be heard. Doesn't mean you're gone, just that no one's paying attention because your wheel isn't squeaking as loudly as the other two." - Kirasha
