Blogs are great. I have not had the time and patience yet to dedicate a thought to my own blog every day. Instead I started another one called eveculture. I know. It's ridiculous considering the fact I'm overworked and stressed out. But the possibilities of this technology are endless, communication wise, and I feel a calling to use the instruments put in my hands.

The one thing that could spoil the whole experience, for the reader as well as for the author are those pingbacks and comments that contain nothing but fake email addresses of fake posts with advertising for gambling. I wonder what these guys were born with. They're intelligent enough to write scrawlers and programs to take advantage of this communication tool. But what's the purpose. Trying to imagine what the burnt brain of a gambler would work like, I really have trouble understanding this concept. If I'm a player, I know where to find the gates of hell. If I'm addicted to gambling, or I don't get the internet at all and I truly am looking for short term entertainment where the goal is to lose as much money as quickly possible, why would I look for that in the comments of a blog?

And Google, if you read my resume when I sent it to you and you actually entered this link to look up my website and you read this, please, do us a favor. Find a way to stop this madness. We know you can do it.

Note to myself: Think about the question wether you should leave comments open or close them for good in this blog. Option one means no feedback any longer. Option two means spam. Should you really give spam the power it doesn't deserve? You're so lame, texaspoker.com and alike.
