(blog entry)
Hi anyone out there,
Ive been playing around with a few sites that have avatars and its made me question the motives, if not the sexuality of other participants. A little fiddling and I was able to pass myself off as anything I wanted. Lisa Na...

drug theme
(in William Gibson fans)
Hi all,
there was some mention on one of these topics about a drug theme in Gibson's works. I just picked up a copy of Virtual light, flicked open to a random page and there was a party with people smoking crack out of a big glass dolphin.
