Sex in EverQuest
Finally! I have found a list of motivations for social interaction. That's what I've been looking for since I began this project. The motivation for social interaction will help me make the foundation for how, where and when social interaction takes places in EverQuest. The list is divided in 8 major motivations, and all can be found in EQ...except the sexual point. And still...I recall having shown a screenshot of my ogre Zaxuna doing some oral services...I'm definately going back to EQ with a new view, and maybe I shouldn't take it so literally...hehehe.
I feel I'm going somewhere...

Edge-playing
I took Franks advice and bought an issue of Edge - it is a pretty cool magazine...
It's on the balcony table, and I'm going out to sit in the sun, drinking grain coffee (better for the stomach) and read it!

The Danish-Dutch Connection
Dutch in Denmark is collaborating in a new photo-blog ÅBC, where each of the two participants are taking pictures of the same object in Århus (Denmark) and Breda (The Netherlands) as a form of a doubleportrait...a very good idea, and also quite fun for me - being a Dane living in The Netherlands that is.

It reminds me of the Versus project of Marius Hartmann and Kenn Munk.

The www as basis for agonistic or dialectic art - interesting!
