The Brain
by ball. ini know this maybe unhealthy but i think it maybe interesting to some people from a scientific point of view.. i have been playing a game online for about 2 years now and i find if i play the game solidly for about 2 hours, my brain goes into an altered state, where i suddenly feel my brain speed up, and i become unaware of anything else in the room.
in a sense, i actually "enter" into the game, but what i think is happening is that the brain *learns* to see the game in a new way.
bascially, the brain wires itself up to experience being in the game as opposed to seeing it on a monitor screen.. i guess this is why it feels like the brain is speeding up, because it starts using dedicated circuitry to deal with the information pouring in through the eyes and ears.

Is anyone going to Glastonbury?
by reboot in.
decided on the spur of the moment to try and get some glastonbury tickets yesterday,as there were still 55, 000 left due to the system cock ups... had friends who stayed up til 5am trying on the friday night but none of us had any luck, mind you, with two teenagers and a child it's the equivilent of a small mortgage...did anyone here have any joy?
i've just had a phone call this morning to say i had sunday tickets , the ones you can get if you live in somerset...ive got a phone number if anyone want to try it... so; if anyone wants to meet up to have a shamanistic dance or two, share moment in the tipi field or help me negociate the toilet block..... i'll be around...

Anyone interested in cyber sex?
by RubyTuesday innow that i have your attention.
with the total anonymity available on-line, is it truly cheating, to flirt with, tease, or even "have sex" with someone via your computer?
is this the same as actually committing adultery, or is it just generally "harmless" fun?
