Maximus’s speach when he first reveals who he is in the Colosseum still gives me shivers, its such a good film.

I’ve just noticed a mark on my tv, and now its all i see.  I suppose i should get up and clean it.

The secret to Farmville’s popularity is neither gameplay nor aesthetics.  Farmville is popular because in entangles users in a web of social obligations.   When users log into Facebook, they are reminded that their neighbors have sent them gifts, posted bonuses on their walls, and helped with each others’ farms.  In turn, they are obligated to return the courtesies.  As the French sociologist Marcel Mauss tells us, gifts are never free: they bind the giver and receiver in a loop of reciprocity.  It is rude to refuse a gift, and ruder still to not return the kindness. We play Farmville, then, because we are trying to be good to one another.  We play Farmville because we are polite, cultivated people.

Interesting thinking on why Farmville is so popular and such a bad idea. everythinginthesky:

Ah, good old farmville, i play it occasionally, but i hate how it pesters my friends with messages.

down down, you bring me down
This was never the way i planned
would you like to walk into the kingdoms of the sun?
you think you know, but you have no idea
no sun, no light, and the trees the beautiful trees
the things a crow puts in its nest
there you go and baby here am I
though you may not drive a great big cadalac
when comes the shaking man
busted flat in baton rouge waitin for a train
and there were future reflections
some might say
you should have seen me with a poker man
hemlock five caught me out there later on
you keep me running round and round
shower in the dark day
so we meet again and i offer my hand
i always knew that one day they’d try to bring me down
can’t you see i love you
i’m just an old loon

Once, my tv didn’t work, so I kicked it. And it started working again.
