I'm pretty sure Google will eventually be replaced by something else. Not that they will disappear but someone will take their place.

As is the evolution of everything.  Remember when MySpace was the shit?  :autism:

Or when the best search engine was called Deja Vu.

I used to be a big fan of Lycos  :autism:

I get it, you never got to feel cool and awesome back in college, and you're desperately making up for it now - but consider this: Disney shows no sign of backing down. Time Warner shows no sign of backing down. Sony corporation stands strong.
"LOL U DONT KNOW ABUT THE NATUREL CYCLE OF BUSNESES!" yeah. Keep that up ::)

In a touchy mood today, Zegh?

I think he just doesn't like Lycos  :M

My son was about 6 or so when he asked me "can I have a credit card, dad?"
"Sure," I replied, "how do you plan to pay for your card?"






"You have to PAY for it?!?!?"

I guess my fuse is a bit shorter than usual lately :I

I adore monopoly-money :I

I also have a thing for those little diamond avatars in the "hunt for the big ruby" or-something board game, the one w the big africa map on it :I

I remember as a kid telling my parents that they couldn't be out of money, because they still had checks in the checkbook.

Yes me too :D
I think thats an aspie-thing :D "youre not supposed to play it that way, here let me check the rules" fuck the rules! I wanna play w the map, the toy money, and little diamonds! :M

The holy grail of board games for me was "atlantis"-something. They had it at boy scouts, but they were always too busy with organized fun "lets tie knots!", ever since I always wished it for xmases and birthdays, never saw it again.
It had big pieces, that you basically built a whole island with, then you took it apart little by little :0''

I loved maps when I was a kid. I still do.

I love maps as well. You saw the maps I made?

They are of course tweaked from allready existing maps, but still with some level of accuracy :D Naturally, they are in no way represntative of anything optimal.

^
Interestingly, soon after I made this map, I was made aware of the independence declaration (lol) of the Lakotah Republic, which claims are eerily similar to my "Black Hills Republic"


Sorry Sweden :'D more-than-obviously, this map leaves a LOT to be desired.


Ethnolinguistics of Norway. Unity is an illusion, and I was curious how further "sub-nations" would appear. Based on dialects and historical migration and flow. It also leaves many details to be fixed. The main "families" are dark blue to purple shades (trønder), light blue (western), green (agder), yellow-orange (eastern) and brown (saami)
