Sorry, You're Off the List
I just got the following message on Orkut: "You can only have up to 1,000 friends. Before you can add more friends, you need to remove friends."
This reminds me a bit of real life. I need to forget someone every time I meet someone I want to remember because I'm having a buffer overflow on my people recognition memory.

Where's My Freakin' Limo?
[I'm] annoyed over the assertion by the popular press that the game industry is larger than Hollywood. … Why aren't game designers, writers, programmers, and artists floating in money? Where are all the limousines, the fast parties, the tabloids tracking our falls in and out of rehab?

Help! Free Music Has Taken Over My Hard Drive
[Music's] transaction cost can be as low as free … so there's no inherent pressure to listen to it. Repeat this a bunch of times, and all of a sudden my hard drive is full of music that I've never heard, and the "digital photo effect" starts to kick in. So what do I do? I listen to the same old albums over and over, because I know I like them.
