Things BoingBoing Is Trying To Teach Me, The Premises Of Which I Often Find Suspect

• copyright law is bad

• fanfic is normal

• aliens have landed

• social-networking is bad

• people who are really into Disneyland are normal

• it's necessary to know Perl

• seriously, the fanfic thing is freaking me out

• the government is out to get me

• all conservatives and conservative movements are evil because the government is out to get me

• the bizarre is necessarily worthwhile

• the only way to talk about technology is with a kind of brain-choking smugness

Oh right, that's why I stopped reading BoingBoing.

I found your site thanks to the AWESOME Aimee Mann write up (thanks - I was at that show & have been trawling the net for clips of her "video" that she ran with Will Ferrel & Patton Oswald, etc). So, from that post, I ended up on this post, and it reminded me of something I wrote, which I thought I'd share with you, since we seem to have similar taste in music & blogs
