The three world travelers you’d probably want would be Josh & Alice (from your own book) and Atreyu, regardless of whether he ever actually made it out of his own book…

Brew: Reading can also get you inside books in the Thursday Next novels, though the rules are rather different.

Plugging in. (Snow Crash/Neuromancer)
Reading out loud. (Inkworld trilogy)

I miss Matt Selman, comments by Church/Kemper/Rorschach, BSG references, and whatever crap that pops into Lev’s head. I think of Techland as wired.com in TWITTER BLUE. (Seriously guys, Twitter blue?)

It’s not you I hate. It’s this damned dirty world we live in.

And maybe also your Prada glasses. What’s up with those things, man?

Yeah, a lot of the new content is great. Sometimes I just feel … so alone. [tiny violin]

Alas, poor Nerd World. I knew it, Leverus; a web page of infinite jest, of most excellent geek postings. It hath borne the bandwith on its comment pages of a thousand posts of BSG mockery.

Chin up, Lev. I like a lot of the new features, and the old commenters were a bunch of sucks!

No, that’s not true (about the bunch of sucks) but the content IS really good.

“About a year ago I took a shot at a list of the top 10 portals between worlds, and the post got a lot of good comments. Ah, those were the days.”

I was just thinking about this the other day. Your new techland sure is shiny, but I miss the camaraderie and insularity of nerd world.
