Creative protesting

While disgruntled citizens choose to brake windows, disrupt traffic and cause chaos to show their feelings over personal matters, other disgruntled citizens just choose to be creative!

Shenmue is a game where the main character can choose to do any number of things, including getting a job (imagine that! playing a game where you get a job). One of the “jobs” include shipping small toys.

As a way of protest the cancelation of the series, Shenmue fans are now sending small toys (just like they did in their virtual life “job”) to the developer, Sega of Japan, to remind Sega how much they enjoyed having “virtual jobs”. I’m not in any way making fun of their efforts. I’m praising their creativity in sharing their opinion. So, if you are a Shenmue fan, starting writing! As for me, I’m still hoping to get a copy of the game to find out what the fuss is all about.

Not dead yet!

I’m not dead, faithful occasional reader. Just very busy at the moment. I’ve also had an interesting case of blogger mental block. I’ve wanted to write about a couple of things, but sorta refused to do it since it would take actual work! So, in protest, my brain has refused to think up anything else creative or even remotely interesting.

I also wanted to share today’s Dilbert. It perfectly depicts what a day here at work is like. Click on the link if you can't see the whole comic. Enjoy!

And that’s all I’m gonna say right now.

Times sure have changed

I don’t normally browse youtube…. It can be a very big time sink, grabbing me with its many oddities and never letting it go. This one is a gem, however, so I couldn’t pass it by. I really don’t know what to say…. Were we really that irresponsible back then?
