A couple of years ago, Rob passed me a link to a hilarious/fascinating web documentary/experiment. Up until yesterday, I had completely forgotten about it, but having somehow awakened that memory I decided I wanted to read it again. What resulted was a little "internet archeology", payoff at the end... Read the rest of this entry ...

I'll say up-front that I'm not a social bookmarking freak, meaning I don't do the "Del.icio.us Dance" very often, though I do have some favourites stored there.
