possibly the coolest thing ever

Gnod, standing for Global Network of Dreams. Two very neat things here. Thing One, this, lets you give the name of a band (or author, or movie) and see what other bands/authors/movies share a similar audience -- via a really cool animated screen involving moving text, which amuses me to no end. (It's way too amusing to ask about MF&tGG and watch Mozart fly across the screen, almost as fast as Nirvana does.) Also neat, though lacking some of the "ooh, shiny!" value, is the whole enter three favorites, get recommendations business -- though you can practically do that with amazon.com so not quite so neat.

In other news, I am exhausted and absentminded and stressed and desparately need sleep. I'm considering going to bed right now, at a whopping 8:27 pm. Yes, I'm a loser, but I'm a tired loser...

Pretty cool site, but I can't find the start page for the flying names. When I click the link, it takes me to "What do people who like Me First And The Gimme Gimmes listen to?" Where do I go to enter in a different band names and watch names fly?

Wellllllll... you kind of have to rig it to enter a band name. In the URL where it says "Me+First+and+the+Gimme+Gimmes.asp", type in whatever you want. "No+Doubt.asp", "Silverchair.asp", "Mozart.asp". I can't find a place where it allows you to just type in a name either. :/ But still, neat nonetheless.

LOL. Well that's cool anyway. I can pretend to be all l33t with computers while I'm doing it. Thanks for letting me know!
