and now for something i DO like
I found the coolest website tonight. Ok, I didn't find it, Fat Tony found it. Well, he didn't find it either, he read about it in one of the local weekly papers. I read about it too, but I forgot about it immediately whereas, Fat Tony remembered it and decided to check it out.
Ok, it's really cool. It's called "We Feel Fine" and it works like this: the site automatically searches the web every so often for blogs with the words "I feel" in them, and wherever it finds "I feel" statements, it lifts the whole sentence and brings it over to wefeelfine.org where it goes into a tiny dot and floats around the screen. When you click on the dots, they open up and the statement is visible in full.
It's really hard to explain, but really cool and totally addictive. The graphics are cool and the sentences are like bizarre haikus when taken so totally out of context. Another cool thing: if the "I feel" statement is in the caption to a picture, the site captures the picture as well. (Square "dots" contain pictures.) The site also captures whatever demographic information is available, like the place, the weather, the gender and age of the author, etc. You can also link to the blogs that the sentences were lifted from.
It's a really fascinating website and some genius computer coding, I think. I mean, I don't know anything about writing code, but this seems like genius to me. I wish I was the one who thought it up. It's really, really cool. You should check it out.
P.S. I feel like using as many "I feel" statements as possible so my sentences will be lifted and by We Feel Fine and stuck into tiny floating dots. I feel like that would be pretty cool. I feel sort of giddy just imagining it. Yeah. I feel I'm going to have to get more creative if I want to keep the "I feel" thing going much longer. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow...
