Monday, June 25, 2007 Just Two Links Stay tuned later this week when I continue clearing out my bookmarks. But meanwhile: The Bem Sex Role Inventory Test. (via So anyway) This test says I have a "traditionally masculine personality." I think this test is just getting it mixed up with my INTJ tendencies. Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace. (via A Blog Around The Clock) Arg. I'm squarely in the target demographic, but even with invitations, I've avoided and ignored pretty much every social networking application there ever was, from Friendster, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, ad nauseum. (I suppose one could point out one exception--LibraryThing--but I very, very rarely make use of the social aspects of that site.) Online, I'm pretty much just like what I was during most of my high school years--sitting by myself at a lunch table far away from everyone else. Someone on Metafilter said that the kids with their own domains instead are nerds. Well, if I'm a nerd, then so be it. [posted by S. Y. Affolee on 7:33 PM : ]
Comments:
And Metafilter is an asylum for people with attention span of 1/100 sec. Have any of the commenters there even read Boyd's article? I don't think so....
But that's why I still sometimes read Metafilter--the strangely appropriate non sequiturs that occasionally pop up from those rabid posters.

BTW, I'm one of those crazy people who actually embraces my nerdiness. :) Links to this post: |
