do androids dream of electric sheep ?

|electric sheep|
definitely the cleverest and most beautiful screen saver conceivable.
It is an electronic dream that continuously evolves (in flocks with other computers through interweb) to be aesthetically pleasing, very very cool indeed.

As electricsheep plays the random but magically intertwined CG renders , the viewer determines the survival of each render, or sheep, by hitting ‘up’/'down’. Each sheep/render has the equivalent of a genetic code, which determines every aspect of the render, hence as the most beautiful sheep survive and the flock evolves, the most appealing characteristics of sheep (most commonly surviving bits of DNA) become more prominent and the whole flock (around the world) becomes more and more beautiful.

yea so i’ve been really neglecting 77percent for a long while and it’s an awful shame … i’ve been pretty happy in recent days, despite getting out a whole week later than the luckier folk in dc. the snow is some crazy stuff; surely it’s a pain a lot of the time, but like many things of that nature, it can be great fun the rest of the time. my shoes took a heavy beating but they’ve now been replaced. my photo-taking has been in a real slumber since i got here and it’s a shame, i don’t think that i have much of an excuse but yea i’m going to work on rectifying that over the holidays.

i was thinking that i should start-up some daily things on 77percent, including (but hopefully not limited to) most probably a song du jour, any suggestions are welcomed.

also i would thank cafenut (sorry it took me so long, it’s been on a list for some time now) for the tagging and altho i’d usually steer away from memes (never before) here it goes:

five little known facts about myself

  1. i fell backwards into the snow friday and didn’t want to get back up : i’m enjoying the snow.
  2. i don’t like to support bigger companies: when given the choice i avoid it. / i drink fiji water because i’d much rather support Fiji than coca-cola corp. (let alone pepsico), if available i would drink ethos.
  3. i have a stuffed muskrat on my desk, you should too.
  4. i try not to let things affect me unless they really ought to in which case i think it’s important not to ignore them.
  5. fin-du-semaine get together this friday chez moi.

    be there.

the underlined are suggestions/instructions from me to you
i would also suggest that you follow my good example and write out five little known facts about yourself
