TV’s 6 Degrees and My Muddled Mind

We all know about Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or more commonly known as Six Degrees of Separation. I love the game and have some personal pride in being a walking IMDB of sorts being able to connect some rather obscure actors to each other. Still, when watching television and movies I like to immerse my mind in the fictional realm and I get confused when I suddenly see Lando Calrissian as Harvey Dent. This gets to be a little more confusing across television where you tend to build a relationship with characters over the course of episodes, seasons, and years.

With this in mind, something possessed me to map out the television I have followed over the last year. The initial result is below. My explanation to how I structured this after the jump.

Twitter Sabbatical, Reflections

Last Thursday I went on what I termed a ‘Twitter Sabbatical’. The week leading up to my one year anniversary as an active member on the site, I cut Twitter out of my life. No reading, tweeting, or other networking allowed. The only exceptions to this were daily ‘I’m alive’ tweets and following up on relevant @replies and DMs where necessary. Full details on the rules may be found here. After the jump, see what a week away from Twitter does to a person.

GoogleWave, review

Monday I got my GoogleWave invite from a corworker. Getting home, I set it up to confirm or deny all the rumors of its qualities. My review is as follows:

“Wait, this is it? How do I add people? Search for people? Find groups I might like? The html heavy interface is causing the most random things to highlight. Moving a tab to the top of the page when I minimize it? Really? What is going on here?”

So yes, my review of GoogleWave is shorter than the introduction and conclusion to this post. Please find me on Wave ‘dafark8′ so I can have a better experience. Thanks all.

Twitter Sabbatical, the Rules

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a Twitter site with my ‘Member Since’ date. It was listed at November 5th, 2008. I quickly disregarded that piece of information. Earlier this week it came to mind that I should, on some level, recognize this date. I have decided the best way to commemorate my joining Twitter is to leave it for a week. So, between 12:00 AM Thursday October 29 and 11:59 PM Wednesday November 4 I will not tweet. Now there are some rules and loopholes being written into this agreement, as well as my rationale, all after the jump.
