An Introduction

Several years ago, I happened across digg.com. I liked what I saw- technology geeks giving me stories about things I was interested in. The comment system seemed like a godsend to me. Without inhibiting free speech, digg was able to weed through the good and the bad, allowing me to skip past the mindless trollspam (thought I hardly ever do). Through the years, it has stayed my favorite social networking site, and it is in fact still my homepage.
It is certainly not without its faults- radical religious views from all sides of the spectrum plague the comment threads. The algorithm sends lolcat pictures to the front page when they have 50 diggs, while stories about families of soldiers are buried into oblivion.
This blog was made to correct the bad and to commend the good. I'm doing it because sometimes a reply to an obscene post isn't enough. Sometimes favoriting a story isn't enough. When it isn't, I'll post here, and maybe you'll laugh and move on, or maybe you'll discover the meaning of life and go on to write a self-help book that brings billions of people out of depression.

I'm just on for the ride.
