Today, it’s nevada-tans birthday. Lets remember to be nice to each other on the internet.

Because primarily, the internet is not a network connecting computers. In the slightly modified words of captain Jack Sparrow: “The internet needs computers and routers and cables, but that is not what the internet means. What the interent means is communication.” The end points are people like each one of us, and when you are a dick on the network, that has real consequences to other human beings.

Today is a good day to remember not to do that.

I’m going to have to steal a quote from wikipedia:

This writer, he was going on about the lyrics to “Champagne Supernova”, and he actually said to me: ‘You know, the one thing that’s stopping it being a classic is the ridiculous lyrics.’ And I went: ‘What do you mean by that?’ And he said: ‘Well, Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball — what’s that mean?’ And I went: ‘I don’t fucking know. But are you telling me, when you’ve got 60,000 people singing it, they don’t know what it means? It means something different to every one of them.’

And that, in short, is what always bothered me about people interpreting like their interpretation is the only one truth.

Don’t know if this is worth an entire post, but hey. Since the website pixiv.net, a Japanese art gallery site with many, many talented artists does not offer any RSS feeds, I wrote a small Perl script to scrape one together for the “Bookmarks” page.
