also, this ftrain post is so entirely a scary truth about the relationship i suspect many of the people i know have with the internet. instant factoids probably add little to any of our greater understanding of the universe, sadly, as fun as it is to be the first one to hear about the new bloc party single.

of course, that doesn’t mean i’ll stop writing on a personal website or consuming information so rapidly, but to at least be aware of the ‘shallowness’ of it all might help steer these activities in a more useful overall direction, right?
