Hey, all I said in the car coming home from work was, “You know, it surprises me that no one has made their cam picutres into their background for their website.”
This did not mean one SHOULD make your live cam as your background, I was just surprised no one HAD done this, considering the horrible sites I have seen on This Old Internet. I was in no way endorsing the activity.
Foz took it upon himself to prove that he is, indeed, totally aesthetically challenged.

Brian, that is undoubtedly the most FSCKING UGLY thing I’ve seen on the net since the original Fozbaca’s Realm.
You should be ashamed of yourself, and engel should be ashamed for encouraging you! I call shenanigans!

Re: Where did the fun go?
I’m with fozzy on this one…sort of. I think that it has something to do with the nature of “information overload.” Each of us can realistically only have so many major areas of interest, and those of us who have been serious netizens for a long time have by now exhaustively combed the web for tiny bits of trivia and information concerning our major interests. So we’re left with our secondary (or tertiary, or….) interests/hobbies to explore, which by definition aren’t as interesting (sic. fun) as the stuff we were hungry for. I know that this is the case for me. Every now and then, some new thing will catch my fancy, and I go on a surfing spree until I’m saturated with it. Fun for a short time, but we can’t expect to be entertained constantly on a relatively short list of topics.
BUT…I do think that we might be seeing the beginning of the mono-tainment of the net (a la AOL-Time Warner, etc). Face it, the more the net is controlled in terms of access and content by a select few corporations whose primary income is from entertainment dollars, the less they will be willing to allow on THEIR inter-network that will entertain us for free.

Where did the fun go?
Don’t know if I’m alone in thought, but has the Internet got boring? I remember the days when random web browsing was just plain fun. Around the next link was something cool, shocking or fun. When I relished going through my inbox for all the cool mail from lists, friends or just randomness. When there was something to download that I don’t know now I got along without. Maybe I have been at this too long, it would be a shame to be bored at 29. Could it be the .com crash with all the funding for almost any idea no matter the imediate profitable? Who knows but things have sure got boring on the net.
