DEPRESSION, MAAAAAAAN.
Sucks, don’t it?
No matter. Wah Wah Wah. Getting back to the real shit. There’s a whole fuck-ton of really stupid crap out there (people, products, governments, habits, did I mention people?) and all of it is kinda being shoved/shit in your face constantly, which makes it a bit difficult to convince myself to dump more shit on the pile.
Yet I still keep finding things and people that are inspiring and that’s relieving…
After all… There’s still more damage to be done, isn’t there?

f[]acebook f[]eed
I do the IRC. On a channel called #asciipr0n (asciipr0n.com btw). My handle on said channel has been f[] for about as long as I can remember. My friend Callie recently made a brilliant suggestion (through simple smartypants observation and hilarity) of a title for something I’ve been messing about with. This something will be titled ‘f[]acebook f[]eed’ from this moment forth.
Here’s a quick explanation of the basic idea without diving too far into artspeak gobbledegook.
Recently, I’ve been engaged in a mostly non-stop molestation of facebook as a bizarre sort of virtual experiment/performance piece. The basic idea is to render facebook useless as a marketing source by filling it with as much interweb garble, copywritten content, and interesting interbits as possible while simultaneously encouraging others to do so via not-so-subtle suggestion through action. My hope is that this phenomena progresses and is embraced to such an extent as to significantly shorten the lifespan of facebook as the dominant ‘social media’ platform. I also hope to be exposed to a billion new and snazzy things I might not have found so easily otherwise.
Why, WHY would someone do something so blisteringly ridiculous you ask? Well, for one, it’s amusing to me. Another reason would be that I’m a terrible curmudgeon; a grumbly, bitter, rapidly aging man who takes joy in ruining everything for everyone by simply being annoying and amplifying (to an absurd degree) an already present tendency. Also ‘art’ (that isn’t just something you hang on a wall) is fun. So there you have it.

NEVAR TOO SOOOOON.
You can’t get mad at me. You did this to me.

so this is tumblah, eh?
Wow. It appears to be yet another version of blogspot… I guess we’ll see which is ‘cooler’ now… won’t we? I picked the Minimalist theme because it’s the snootiest.
… I love typing things like “snootiest”.
