Read more...Obscure Relationship Commentary on Twitter
I spend a good part of each day procrastinating real work by reading tweets. A good portion of those tweets involve dramatic obscure relationship commentary. It's officially a genre. The only requirement is that you divulge some very real emotions about a relationship, without providing any details about the other party, so that essentially nobody outside your closest circle will know what you were talking about. It's most often women who do this, but guys do it too (shit I have). The male obscure relationship commentary tends to be a little more detached, like we are talking about a math problem....

In 1999 I created an art project as part of my "digital technology and society" degree at U.C. San Diego. The official Research Scholar program there at the time allowed seniors to make presentations or papers based on their field of study, so I applied some of Foucault's theories to the world of digital interfaces. Specifically, i found that his ideas about utilitarian philosopher Jeremey Bentham's Panopticon worked inside the digital realm. Each image is supposed to address the question, "Is power articulated through interface design?" Now, almost ten years later on the nose I see my friend on twitter...

From dan "balls" soha: So, let's start off with a history lesson. Yesterday, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's "shocking" victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862 (is a victory over France ever that shocking?). They don't celebrate in Mexico, but *we* do because we take every opportunity to get drunk.

My Boyfriend. Standard. It's most often dropped right up front and has a very specific purpose. For example, "My boyfriend told me about this restaurant so I was excited..." The deeper meaning is that you should stop thinking you might click on my profile and check out my photos. However, you can continue reading my review once you take a second to re-adjust your mind set, perv. The Boyfriend. As in "I had eggs and the boyfriend had salmon." This says that I'm comfortable mentioning I'm in a relationship, but secretly things are not as stable as I would like. Adding "the" in front makes it seem...

Read more...Seven Rules to Avoid Video Game Addiction for Grown Ups
I'm 31 and I've played video games since I was six, starting with Zork on the PC and Baseball on the Atari 2600. When I was younger I played somewhere between way too f*cking much and just plain too much. Now that I’m a grown ass man, I rarely play more than 10-15 hours per week, but I have my binge moments, and I’ve noticed that video games have had some negative consequences in my life. I’ve caught myself being late for just about everything because of playing video games, lying to people about plans to play more, being late to work a lot, thinking about how I’ll play a certain game while...
