Ok, so after a bit of blog surfing at work, as usual I've started to compile a list of favorites in my bookmarks list. I'm just a click away from the criminally insane, or the technologically adept. I cant keep reading, I have to do some typing of my own.
First of all, I have to confess my love for Useless Advice from Useless Men the intense ramblings and off topic responses are amazing. I'm no English lit major, so I don't expect much of an interest from the rest of the internet, but while I'm here I might as well try.
So here goes....
This is my blog, so you might as well know a little about me. I'm a 20 year old computer engineering major in Boston Ma. I go to college, I work on co-op, but I always have time to blog. Going to college has left me so many things to rant and talk about a daily basis, and I would love to share them.
I named this blog Criminally Insane or Technologically Adept, and ill tell you why. Working in the computer field all my life, i cant tell you where the fine line is, but it exists between these two things. Computers are crazy, some electrons are moving around helping us trade information at speeds that we comprehend only in numbers. Cellphones let us talk into little gadgets and actually communicate with people hundreds even thousands of miles away. I mean come on, your talking to a computer part. Are we insane?
We are insane, no doubt in my mind. I recently dugg an article about Black Holes Leading to Alternate Universes this excites and scares me all at the same time. The concept that there could be parallel universes or even ones we have never even imagined before gives me a tingly feeling I cant understand. What if the Star Wars Universe was real?(sorry my geekyness will show through on occasion) Then again, what if any movie was as real as we make them out to be on the big screen. All that is possible in an alternative universe. I haven't done much more research into it, but its possible we are someones alternative universe. Where does that leave us, and is there one true universe, or a first universe? Does it all just stretch out into infinity?
Ahhh my head hurts, ill stop here. Hopefully someone will look at this, and i might get some readers. Ill do my best to start blogging frequently.

Interesting...your comment about black holes actually reminded me of a cover story in Scientific American? about Black Hole Computing. If I can dig up a link, I will send it along. That is so true, that which you write. as a kid growing up, I have always been intrigued by Space travel and deep space and what lies beyond. It is human nature to always ask and wonder. Never stop asking the question "Why?" NO MATTER WHAT!
"A white rabbit is pulled out of a top hat. Because it is an extremely large rabbit, the trick takes many billions of years. All mortals are born at the very tip of the rabbit's fine hairs, where they are in a position to wonder at the impossibility of the trick. But as they grow older they work themselves ever deeper into the fur. And there they stay. They become so comfortable they never risk crawling up the fragile hairs again. Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outermost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink. 'Ladies and gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care. 'What a bunch of troublemakers!' they say. And keep on chatting: Would you pass the butter please? How much have our stocks risen today? What is the price of tomatoes?" -- Sophie's World
if i had made a blog it would look just like this. this is ultimate geek. you sir, pwn.
So essentially, I agree. Start saying things that I might disagree with so that way I can challenge what you're saying, cuz agreeing is boring.
I agree with possum. I also agree with you, and this comment, therefore, in itself is boring.
