The price of science
My computer's task bar started doing this
weird flickering thing at odd intervals for the last week. At first I thought it
was some technological entity trying to figure out how to communicate with me or maybe a human consciousness uploaded onto the internet attempting to get my
attention. But after a few days, I realized it was only happening when my
myspace player was open.
I am not
particularly ashamed that I use myspace to listen to music until I hopefully
get the artists' real albums for Christmas or something. Much like
facebook, it is the internet equivalent of a cursed ship that can never sink
because the passengers have filled it with their own precious content, and as
long as I can listen to music from albums by Discovery and Star[fudger] and
Astronautalis or just tracks I'll download from amazon one by one whenever I
get a free mp3 credit from artists like Cadence Weapon or Tender Forever or Fol
Chen or Jaguar Love or Parenthetical Girls or Viva Voce.
But now I'm just listing great gift ideas
for that special me in your life. The point is, my taskbar is behaving
oddly because my laptop is trying to warn me that Justin Timberlake is
accessing my personal information to create fake myspace accounts to
hornswoggle potential investors.
