Wow, thinking back to how excited I was for the first blizzard.

Now this shit just keeps coming! The morale of the city is so low right now. People are at their breaking points. For me personally, I love the epic-ness of it-- but all this snow is really starting to mess with peoples' minds, the commuting lately has been a living hell.

Anyway, potential for blizzard number 2 tomorrow-- already starting to ratchet up outside. Thankfully, I've got 4 cases of beer and some pot.

Lol I'm on the same page as you. I've been cooped up a lot recently and don't like it. It effects your mental state. You must be in the Boston area. We are not getting hit hard with the latest storm but the bitter cold and wind are putting a stop to my daily walks around the block. I don't know how ppl live in Canada.

We are forecast for 3-6" in Middle TN late Sunday and throughout the day on Monday. Amazing, but it will halt things here for a time. I hope they miss the forecast.

Glee Season 6 makes me sad.

I don't want to get too into the plot, but I generally think the world is much more thought out than Snow Crash. It deals more with the end of nation-states and what replaces them than Snow Crash, as well as the end (or lack thereof) of consumerism following the invention of, basically, unlimited 3D printing. Also big themes of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, inequality, education, and a few others.

The plot isn't as action-packed as Snow Crash, which is a good thing in my opinion, but the world Stephenson creates is much richer and interesting. Actually thought provoking, at least for me. His conception of economics in a world with unlimited basic supplies and the geopolitical struggle over resources that still remains, even with no more nation-states as traditionally conceived, is quite fun stuff.

For someone claiming to have intellectual superiority over other members of this board, that was probably the least intellectual post put on this forum this year.

I found a new job last week and start on Wednesday. I low-balled my "desired salary" when I was applying and they came back with a figure waaay higher than what I thought I would be able to get. Seems like a nice place to work as well.

Parabéns! Out of curiosity, is it related to philosophy in any way?

Edit: Wait, you said the salary is good, I've just realised this would be a contradiction
