Blogs I like: Culture Shock Survival @ Blogspot
An expatriate living in Costa Rica, [ http://cultureshock-survival.blogspot.com/ ] is a healthy perspective from the outside looking in- and an interesting source of content from someone who isn't a run-of-the-mill American (like myself).
Worth a read, certainly.

Stuff I like: You have to burn the rope!
[ http://www.kongregate.com/games/Mazapan/you-have-to-burn-the-rope ].
Fairly straightforward. Burn the rope, win the game!
(For bonus points, listen to the credits after the game...)

Important: Depression / Portfolio: Neurocolor
I've been struggling with depression for the past few years (having only been diagnosed within the last two). I'm a pansy that couldn't work up the nerve to commit to suicide, instead opting to wallow in my own misery.
That was unhealthy, to say the least.
If you're depressed or anxious or otherwise unwell, my heart goes out to you. Some people claim that there's no such thing as depression, and typically they're folks who've never suffered from what is largely a maverick of an issue.
There aren't many physically apparent symptoms of depression- slightly elevated cortisol and issues with serotonin and dopamine are the closest we can come to a physical diagnosis given what science has at the moment.
My therapist recommended that I create some sort of positive, constructive outlet for all the tumult in my psyche.
[ http://neurocolor.tumblr.com/ ] is the result. It's a story, of sorts, from the first person and multiple people. It takes place in a world drastically different from ours, and places a particular emphasis on detail and color.
I'm told it's poetic, and I guess it is, in some ways. I post to it sporadically, but a follow on tumblr or the RSS feed would probably keep you in the loop.
The story starts with the first post to the tumblr. The content is largely unedited and is what comes to mind when I ask my id for the story.
Make of it what you will.

April Fool's day!
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day ]
A day where everyone enjoys pranking everyone else!
Unfortunately, this means that very little can be taken seriously.
For some ideas, check out:
